Ideal Applicant
BIPOC-led or -serving nonprofit with an operational presence in Colorado (especially the Pikes Peak/Colorado Springs area) requesting general operating support or multi-year funding.
Good Fit
- • Organizational base or program in Colorado, ideally Pikes Peak/Colorado Springs.
- • BIPOC-led organization or explicit focus on serving BIPOC communities.
- • Request for general operating support or multi-year funding.
- • Local partnerships or demonstrated community credibility in the region.
- • Willingness to engage via the foundation’s rolling application or to pursue relationship-building with staff/trustees.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Colorado: in 2024 about 96% of dollars stayed in-state with most grants centered on Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region, and only a very small out-of-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 26 distinct recipients across community, food, youth and leadership organizations and 16 new recipients that year, indicating a broad set of independent grantees even though larger awards are skewed to a handful of organizations.
New Applicants
Direct evidence that new entrants can be funded exists (16 new recipients in 2024 and a rolling application document on the website), but the foundation also states some funding is by preselection and the top five recipients receive a large share of dollars, so open access appears possible but selective.
