Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsized Colorado-based nonprofit (often faith-based or direct-service) with local reputation or existing ties to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Located in Colorado, preferably in the Denver/Lakewood area.
- • Mission in religious/faith-based services, homelessness, child welfare, animal welfare, or local mental health supports.
- • Established local relationships or referrals from known grantees.
- • Project scale appropriate for modest one-time grants ($750–$4,000).
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Colorado: the latest year shows 88% of dollars staying in-state, with only small grants to two other states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 7–9 distinct recipients each year and supported a range of mission types (religious groups, animal shelter, homelessness services, child welfare, mental health), though the top five grantees captured 77% of dollars in 2024.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it funds only preselected recipients and no public application route or contact details are visible; although two new grantees appeared in 2024, the stated invitation-only process and high repeat rate suggest unfamiliar applicants have low likelihood of access.
