APPLY FOR A GRANT

The Denver Foundation will launch a new strategic framework, including new grant priorities and timelines, in early 2021. We look forward to sharing this new plan with you. In the meantime, only organizations that received awards in the February 1, 2020 Community Grant cycle are invited to submit applications for the first grant cycle in 2021. Applications are due by Monday, February 1, 2021 @ 5 p.m.

You must review the Grant Guidelines [PDF] in order to apply. Applications are due by the following deadlines, and decisions take approximately four to five months from the deadline date.

Read our guidelines thoroughly and review our Frequently Asked Questions. Then, we invite you to contact The Denver Foundation to speak with one of our staff to assess fit with our priorities. Nonprofits are requested to use the Foundation's online grant application portal.

In addition to Community Grants, we will also work with community partners identified through Requests for Proposals and other outreach efforts focused on specific strategic objectives. Sign up for our email list to receive information about future funding opportunities in these areas.
