Ideal Applicant
Organizations aligned with the foundation’s youth emotional literacy/mental health and community-support focus, typically able to absorb general operating support in the $10k–$65k range and with an existing relationship or credible local introduction.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with youth emotional literacy, mental health, or community arts.
- • Operational scale and budget that match prior grants (roughly $10k–$65k).
- • Presence or partnerships in Colorado (especially Aspen-area) or ties to intermediaries the foundation uses.
- • Introductions from trusted local partners or community foundations.
Geography
Observed grants span five states in 2023, with multi-state recipients including CO, MS, FL, NY and DC, though a majority of dollars were concentrated in Colorado (about 59%).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded six distinct organizations in 2023 (and eight in 2022), showing a modestly diverse recipient set for a small private foundation despite substantial dollar concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation’s public materials and application settings indicate it funds only preselected recipients, which makes unsolicited applicants unlikely to succeed; note that 4 new recipients appeared in 2023 but those likely resulted from invitation or targeted outreach rather than an open application process.
