Common Grant Application

Community Grants Application

Because so many nonprofit organizations meet the basic requirements to apply for a grant from The Denver Foundation, the application process is highly competitive. Only about 50% of the grant proposals received by the Foundation are funded. Therefore it is essential to follow the Foundation's Grant Guidelines thoroughly.

The Foundation has issued new Grant Guidelines for 2010, and we are now requiring the revised Colorado Common Grant Application (CGA), with minor modifications. We are no longer accepting applications in the old format.
