Ideal Applicant
A small Colorado-based nonprofit or program serving developmentally challenged adults (holiday support, recreational experiences like adaptive skiing) with local credibility or an existing connection to the foundation or its grantee network.
Good Fit
- • Organization provides services to developmentally challenged adults or similar human-services work.
- • Located in Colorado and able to demonstrate local impact.
- • Programs matching prior purposes (holiday wishlists, adaptive recreation) or modest project budgets under a few thousand dollars.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior collaboration with an organization already funded by the foundation.
Geography
Observed grants over five years are entirely to recipients in Colorado, with 100% of dollars and grant count in-state in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
Across the five-year record the foundation typically funds a very small set of recipients (often 1–3 per year), with two organizations showing repeat support and three distinct recipients in the most recent year, indicating a narrow observed recipient pool.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it funds only preselected organizations and offers no public contact details; while an occasional new recipient appeared in the latest year, the behavioral pattern and stated preselection make unsolicited new entrants unlikely to be funded.
