General Description of Grants Program

Through generous support from the Ford Foundation and The Denver Foundation’s Community Endowment, ENII issued two-year grants of $14,000 to twelve Metro Denver nonprofit organizations. Issued in 2006, these grants helped the organizations follow the model set out in Inclusiveness at Work.  We do not currently anticipate having funds to provide additional grants. If you have any questions, please contact Cinque McKinney, 303-300-1790, ext. 158.
