 We prioritize funding for emerging and small organizations in Colorado with annual operating budgets under $1 million that are dedicated to serving LGBTQ+ communities and their allies. We are particularly interested in supporting organizations whose work sits at the intersection of multiple, often underserved identities and geographies — including rural and mountain communities, trans* individuals, and BIPOC communities. Organizations rooted in and led by the communities they serve are strongly encouraged to apply. 

We invite eligible organizations to submit an application through our online portal. Before applying, please review our eligibility guidelines to ensure your organization meets our funding criteria. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and our team is happy to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to learning more about the important work you do.
