We ask that organizations seeking grants call the Foundation to discuss potential funding requests before submitting a proposal.
The Bonfils-Stanton Foundation makes grants for operating support, program or
project support, and organizational capacity building. On occasion, we provide
capital support, generally for campaigns that have achieved at least 75% of goal.
We accept the Colorado Common Grant Application and welcome questions about using this or alternative formats for submitting grant proposals. Organizations may submit only one proposal in a calendar year.
Proposal Deadlines
Complete proposals must be postmarked or received in the Foundation office before 5:00 p.m. on the last business day of the following months: January, April, July, and October. Foundation Trustees make funding decisions at quarterly meetings.
