Description:
Grants to Colorado nonprofit organizations in eligible locations to help establish and strengthen endowments. Applicants must contact program staff prior to submitting an application. Funding is intended to promote endowment-building and encourage local nonprofits to invest in their futures. Donors must contribute directly to the nonprofit organization.
Endowments enable organizations to maintain healthy cash reserves to weather funding fluctuations and operational uncertainties. They also demonstrate to local communities and potential donors a commitment to future sustainability. This dedication appeals to donors and provides a vehicle for their legacy gifts and ongoing support.
Eligible applicants:
Eligible applicants are located in and serve Jefferson County, the Denver metropolitan area, and beyond. Whether you’re an established endowment partner or setting up your first endowment, you may apply for help to establish, meet, and grow your goals with the Nonprofit Endowment Incentive Grant Program.
Designated funds are not eligible for the Incentive Grant Program.
