Deadline: 03-Aug-20
The Denver Foundation has announced the Community Grant Program to support resident groups and nonprofit organizations in the seven-county Metro Denver area.
All of the work reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to reducing disparities and promoting equity for the most vulnerable members of the community, including people living in poverty, immigrants and refugees, and people of color.
In the four objective areas:
The Foundation prioritizes improving the lives of historically oppressed people living in Metro Denver, with a particular focus on people who live in low-income communities and people of color.
- The Foundation seeks to reduce racial and ethnic disparities, as well as economic disparities.
- The Foundation supports organizations that share the core values of racial equity and community leadership.
After first considering how strongly a proposal fits the objective area strategies and aligns with the core values, they evaluate every grant request according to the following criteria:
- Soundness of fiscal, strategic, governance, and program-delivery practices.
- ast success, demonstrated impact, or strong potential for impact.
- Use of evaluation to assess progress toward goals.
- Openness to collaboration and being part of a broader approach to improving the lives of community members.
- Uniqueness of programs or services.
Funding Information
Grant awards typically range from $5,000 to $20,000.
Eligibility Criteria
The Foundation funds 501(c)(3) organizations and collaborative efforts among 501(c)(3) organizations and other groups in the seven-county Metro Denver region that address one or more of the goals described in this booklet. They prefer requests for general operating support, but they will consider both general operating and program support.
