The Denver Foundation's mission is to inspire people and mobilize resources to strengthen the Denver community. As a community foundation, they manage a variety of funds and initiatives that aim to address the needs and improve the lives of the residents in the Denver area. The foundation focuses on building a more equitable and vibrant community through grantmaking, philanthropy, and community leadership.
The Technical Assistance (TA) Fund at The Denver Foundation is designed for qualified nonprofits seeking to improve their operational effectiveness. This grant program is open to organizations that have received a grant from The Denver Foundation within the last three years and is intended to support activities that build new skills and knowledge. The TA Fund emphasizes projects that require active involvement rather than passive services, such as developing an organizational marketing plan with a consultant, rather than funding the printing of promotional materials. Grants range from $500 to $6,000, with an average award of $2,500 to $3,000.
