My experience in the past with long grant applications was very stressful. Keeping them simple and easy to understand was definitely a pleasure. Thank you.

It was a wonderful surprise to be given a grant to help those in the community. Every dollar was spent on food to give to our guests at our food pantry. We experienced over a 40% increase in visits from 2022 to 2023. So grateful for the award!

The platform in which I applied for the grant was easy to navigate. The process was detailed but sufficient for a process requesting cash assistance.

It would be helpful to have a more personal touch to the process. Maybe give the process a face to work with or connect to. Charities want to connect to the community and everyone involved in bettering the community is apart of that connection.

There is a strong presence of their impact across the front range and the size of gifts truly are difference makers. Opening eyes to its donor advised, endowment and grant opportunities for the community to build off of.
Communication!

A great organization that is looking to have real impact on the community. They are willing to ask for clarity and find paths forward if it aligns with their values. Do not hesitate to reach out to them to do the same. They are happy to provide thoughts and opinions to make sure there is alignment on both sides.
