| Restrictions | The Foundation aims for an even distribution of grants between organizations serving in Colorado's rural and urban communities. There is a special interest in self-sufficiency, community development, and programs aimed at the economically disadvantaged, the young, the elderly, and the disabled. Grants are typically in the $5,000 to $10,000 range, but generally no greater than 10% of an organization's annual budget. When an organization receives funding from the Foundation for two years in a row, we request they take the third year off. The Foundation can only accept one grant application per calendar year from an organization. |
