Anschutz Family Foundation’s mission is to support initiatives that strengthen families and communities, fostering productive and responsible citizens. It focuses on self-sufficiency, community development, and aiding economically disadvantaged groups, including the young, elderly, and disabled. A special emphasis is placed on supporting efforts in rural Colorado.
The Anschutz Family Foundation Grant aims to fund Colorado-based nonprofit organizations that align with its broad goals of enhancing community strength, promoting self-sufficiency, and supporting vulnerable populations. The grant focuses on areas such as family support, literacy, homelessness, youth development, early childhood development, community building, crisis intervention, programs for seniors, and services for people with disabilities. Ideal candidates for funding demonstrate goals aligned with the Foundation's mission, offer needed and unique services, manage sustainable funding models, and maintain solid financial health with a track record of success. Grants typically range from $5,000-$10,000 and usually do not exceed 10 percent of an organization’s annual budget.
