Summary
A community grant opportunity is available to support local projects that benefit children or youth. This funding is open to nonprofit organizations (especially those working in service of young people), as well as local Kiwanis clubs. The grant is regionally focused — in this case, it’s offered through a specific Kiwanis club operating in a defined county — making it most accessible to organizations based within that geographic area.
The grant funds are intended for programmatic work, not for donations, operating budgets, or for capital expenses such as building acquisition or construction. Projects should align with nonprofit service goals — such as education, health, youth leadership, or community development — and must be Kiwanis-led or heavily supported by the Kiwanis club in that region.
Eligible applicants may include smaller nonprofit service providers, community-based youth organizations, or Kiwanis club–sponsored initiatives. The grant is not designed to support individual scholarships, political activity, or administrative overhead; rather, it’s structured to foster hands-on collaboration, requiring a meaningful role for the club in both planning and carrying out the project.
Awarded funds can support new or in-progress community efforts, but recipients are expected to spend the funds within a reasonable timeframe. The selection criteria emphasize impact: how a project addresses unmet needs in the local community, what measurable benefit it offers to children or youth, and how the project demonstrates sustainability or recurring positive outcomes.
In short, this grant is tailored to community-driven, youth-oriented initiatives in a specific locale, and gives nonprofits and Kiwanis clubs a way to jointly invest in service that has long-term value.
Eligible applicants in Colorado with a demonstrated commitment to Children & Childcare are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
