Request for Grant Proposals

In Aug. 2024, Gary Community Ventures released a request for grant proposals in two areas:  

• Accelerating Outcomes for Multilingual Learners in Secondary Schools
• Increasing Family Affordability through Tax Credits

Gary is now pleased to announce the grant recipients of its 2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) process. We’ve awarded 10 organizations grants to improve impact across these two key areas.

RFP Grant Recipients

$900K awarded to 10 organizations

With 59 applications received, we spent the month of September engaging in a structured review and due diligence process to award a total of $900,000 in funding to the following recipients.

Approximately 40% of the grantees are new partners to Gary and 50% are led by those with racially diverse backgrounds or have significant (greater than 50%) racial diversity on their leadership teams or boards.

We are honored to partner with these organizations to realize a vision of Colorado where every child has the opportunity to grow up healthy and reach their full potential.
