Info & Guidelines
Each year the Grand Foundation awards funds to the non-profit community through its Annual Grants Program. This is just one of the many ways the Grand Foundation supports non-profit organizations. This year the funds awarded reached over $2.1 Million from late 2022-23. We were able to award funds to over 199 non-profit organizations, individuals, and service club organizations this year. Our goal is to raise enough funds to support all grant requests, but this year the funds available were lower than the requests. This funding cycle increased the overall giving from the Grand Foundation to over $31.6 million in 28 years of giving. This would not be possible without the support from generous donors, corporate sponsors, and volunteers. Grand County is fortunate to have a community that not only understands and cares about the needs of its residents and guests, but also stands behind the Foundation’s motto to Give Where You Live, Work, and Play!
