Ideal Applicant
A United Methodist congregation or closely affiliated faith-based ministry located in Southern Colorado's Trinity District seeking modest program, youth, camp, or small facility/office support.
Good Fit
- • Located in the Trinity District / Southern Colorado
- • Affiliated with the United Methodist Church or a related local ministry
- • Request size typically under $10,000
- • Program focus on youth, camp scholarships, local community services, or small facility/office needs
- • Willingness to obtain and submit the district application form and observe an April deadline
- • New congregations have been added to the grant list in recent years
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow: every grant across the available years went to organizations in Colorado and the foundation states awards are limited to United Methodist churches in the Trinity District of Southern Colorado.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds a moderate number of distinct recipients each year (11–16 historically, 13 in 2024), but the portfolio is mission-narrow—mostly independent United Methodist congregations—so institutional variety is limited even though many separate churches are supported.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of access exists: roughly half of 2024 recipients were new and an application form is available via the Trinity District Office; combined with three years of observed turnover, this indicates unfamiliar congregations have a realistic path to become grantees.
