Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-size nonprofit—often faith-based, educational, arts, or health-oriented—with ties to Colorado (or an existing relationship/referral) seeking general operating or program support in the typical $5k–$25k range.
Good Fit
- • Organizational presence or programs in Colorado or one of the six states previously funded.
- • Alignment with religious, education, arts, community service, or health causes.
- • A warm introduction or referral from a current or prior grantee or local advisor.
- • Requests for general operating support or modest project grants in the $5k–$25k range.
- • Demonstrated ability to steward grant reports and maintain a repeat relationship.
Geography
Grants appear across six states, but roughly half of giving is concentrated in Colorado, indicating a regional multi-state footprint with a clear in-state bias.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 20–22 distinct recipients per year with many independent organizations funded and 16 repeat grantees across two years, showing a broad recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
The filer states funding is by preselection only and there is no public website, but the observed grants included six new recipients in the latest year; direct evidence of an open unsolicited pipeline is limited, so entry appears possible but likely requires a referral or relationship.
