Community First Foundation is a nontraditional funder. We typically release at least one open competitive grant that varies in size, strategy and scope from year to year. Our collaborative approach with community partners drives the type and quantity of funding we provide.
We recognize that COVID-19 is having immediate impacts on our communities and our sector, and we are responding. Please review the grant opportunities below and contact us with any questions.
The Community First Foundation Jeffco Hope Fund will offer grant support for Jeffco organizations who are providing direct services to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 in the first round of funding (Round 1, deadline April 15). Additional support for nonprofits who may not be providing direct services but have been negatively impacted due to suspended programming, canceled fundraising events and/or shrinking or lack of resources to continue their work during this period of isolation will be available in the second round of funding (Round II – opens April 15).
Round 1 grant applications closes on April 15, 2020 5:00 p.m. MDT.

This program is designed to stimulate endowment-building and encourage our Nonprofit Endowment Partners to invest for the future needs of their organizations.
If your organization works within our focus areas, but no grant opportunity aligns with your services at this time, we still want to be part of your network. We value our role as a connector, partner and collaborator and welcome you to contact the Vice President of Community Impact, Noah Atencio.
Community First Foundation strengthens nonprofits in numerous ways. We can help you manage an endowment, connect with supporters through ColoradoGives.org or facilitate meaningful discussions in our free meeting space.
