The current funding cycle focuses on the Youth grant area, supporting programs in Denver that address youth mental health, trauma, and substance misuse. The grant aims to increase resilience to stress, provide early interventions, and support families and allies in fostering youth healing. Proposals should focus on innovative approaches that align with these goals and have a measurable impact.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, faith-based groups, Native American entities, and government-supported organizations serving Denver residents. All applicants must be tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) or similar IRS designations. The Foundation does not fund individuals, for-profits, private foundations, endowments, debt reduction, or programs tied to specific religious beliefs.

Applications for the Youth grant area opened on November 4, 2024, and must be submitted by December 11, 2024. All applicants will be notified of their status by late March 2025. Applicants should review the Call for Proposals and gather necessary documentation, including registration in the Foundation’s Grants Portal, before submission.

The process may include requests for additional information or a site visit before decisions are finalized. This grant represents an opportunity for organizations to address critical issues in youth mental health and resilience within the Denver community.
