Ideal Applicant
A Colorado-based nonprofit serving the Western Slope with programs in health, behavioral health, basic needs (food/housing), or workforce development and a track record of local impact.
Good Fit
- • Programs primarily serving Western Slope communities in Colorado.
- • Work in behavioral health, emergency basic needs, food access, or workforce development.
- • Demonstrated local partnerships or county-level service focus.
- • Capacity to participate in a pre-application conversation and provide clear program descriptions.
- • Readiness for modest-to-mid sized grants (typical awards range under $100K).
Geography
Observed granting is entirely in Colorado with explicit Western Slope focus; the foundation’s recent filings show all grant dollars reported to the home state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 235 distinct recipients in the latest year (275 grants) across many purposes and maintained low dollar concentration (largest recipient ~3%, top five ~7%), showing a broad, diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation states grants are generally preselected, but observed data show dozens of new grantees (64 in 2024 and 114 in 2023) and a public eligibility/contact route; this indicates a selective but real pathway for newcomers rather than an entirely closed, invitation-only pool.
