Ideal Applicant
A small, local arts or community-arts organization (concerts, workshops, site-based programming) with a clear local presence or personal connection to Smokebrush Farm in Manitou Springs / the Colorado Springs area.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on arts, music, or community workshops tied to local audiences.
- • Small project-level funding needs (e.g., low five-figure or below).
- • Established local presence or referral/introduction to a named officer.
- • Site-based or event-oriented programming that could align with the farm/retreat model.
Geography
Observed giving is local: the single recorded grant went to a Colorado recipient and the foundation operates programming in Manitou Springs, Colorado; there is no evidence of multi-state or national giving in the filings.
Recipient Variety
Across three years of filings the foundation shows a very small recipient set: one $500 grant recorded in 2022 and no recorded grantees in 2023–2024, so the observed recipient base is minimal.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover or regular new grantees is limited, but a public website, a stated rolling/verbal application practice, and named contact details make it plausible that unfamiliar local organizations could engage; recent filings show very sparse activity, so openness cannot be confirmed.
