If you were funded, tell us the outcome

Funded for amount requested

What year was this experience?

2018

How would you rate this funder's accessibility?

Bad

It took many years for this very large foundation to even create a web page (and it's now just one web page, with no information on how to apply for a grant, or how to get invited). Without the Colorado Grants Guide, many wouldn't even know that they exist.

How successfully do you think this funder is accomplishing its current philanthropic goals?

Average

I'm sure they're meeting their own goals: limiting grant apps and getting out the name of the foundation when possible.

If you had one piece of advice to give to this funder (about grantmaking or anything else), what would it be?

Provide better access to other nonprofits that aren't insiders with the foundation. Perhaps have an LOI process for unknown organizations so that the foundation is exposed to more nonprofits within the Colorado community.
