America 250 - Colorado 150 Aligned Giving: Project Interest Form

Project interest forms are reviewed on a rolling basis. The America 250 – Colorado 150 Commission will notify you within 8-10 weeks if an Aligned Giving partner is interested in further conversation. Please note this does not constitute a funding commitment. The Commission requests that you do not submit the same project more than once. Once you have submitted a project it remains on the master project list and is shared with new foundations as more join the Aligned Giving program.

The Commission shares submitted forms with participating Colorado foundations, which independently determine whether a project aligns with their priorities. If so, they will request a conversation, and the Commission will facilitate introductions.

Foundations consider the Commission’s feedback but make their own funding decisions. Please review the project scoring criteria and FAQs here. We encourage applicants to explore each foundation’s priority grant making areas below to assess fit:

Gates Family Foundation
Boettcher Foundation
Daniels Fund
Adolph Coors Foundation
Anschutz Foundation
El Pomar Foundation

Please note your responses will not save automatically so be prepared to submit your interest form in full once you've started.
