Ideal Applicant
A Colorado-based nonprofit providing program-level services (community services, mental health, food security, youth supports) seeking modest program support in the typical $5k–$20k range.
Good Fit
- • Programs that directly benefit Colorado residents
- • Program support requests in the small-to-midsize grant range (~$1k–$20k)
- • Clear local impact metrics and community partnerships
- • Willingness to apply using the Colorado Common Grant Application and meet the April 15 or September 15 deadlines
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated entirely in Colorado in the latest year and the foundation describes grants as limited to organizations that benefit Colorado residents.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded many distinct independent recipients across observed years (32 in 2022 and 21 in 2024), indicating a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover across years is available (many new recipients each year) and a public application route is documented, so unfamiliar Colorado nonprofits appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
