Ideal Applicant
Nonprofits focused on youth development, in‑ and out‑of‑school programming, youth health and wellness, or career pathways — especially Colorado-based community organizations and regional/national intermediaries with scalable youth programs.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving Colorado youth or the Denver‑metro community
- • After‑school, in‑school, or youth health and mental‑health programming
- • Career pathways or job‑training programs for young people
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $5k–$500k range and report measurable outcomes
- • Local community credibility or history of partnership with schools and youth organizations
Geography
The 2024 footprint reached 18 states, showing multi‑state activity, but 75% of dollars and the majority of grant counts were concentrated in Colorado, so the program is broadly multi‑state in reach but strongly Colorado‑focused.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (156 distinct grantees and 180 grants), with many new entrants (97 in 2024) alongside returning partners, indicating broad recipient variety rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence supports newcomer access: 97 new grantees in 2024 and historically high new‑recipient rates in prior years, and the foundation publishes a Community Grant program on its website; based on this history and visible application channel, unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
