Ideal Applicant

A Colorado-based student or small education program proposing a clearly defined passion project with a mentor-supported narrative and a budget request at or below $2,500.

Good Fit

  • Request is for a student-led educational or youth development project
  • Applicant can present a mentor-supported narrative and a modest budget
  • Project and applicant are based in Colorado
  • Requested amount does not exceed $2,500
  • Ability to meet an early-April application timeline

Geography

Restrictive

All observed grants across the available years were made to recipients in Colorado; the foundation’s giving appears confined to a single state.

Recipient Variety

Restrictive

The latest year shows only two distinct recipients (and three unique recipients across two years), all education-focused; the observed recipient set is small and narrowly themed.

New Applicants

Broad

The foundation posts application instructions on its website, lists a named contact and phone number, and funded new recipients in the latest year, which together indicate unfamiliar applicants can realistically access awards; the observed history is limited to two years, however.
