Offering technical assitance for nonprofits
The Denver Foundation is pleased to invite qualified nonprofits to apply for funding from the City and County of Denver Nonprofit Technical Assistance (TA) Grant, funded by Denver Economic Development & Opportunity (DEDO).
The City and County of Denver Nonprofit Technical Assistance Grant is a program developed by The Denver Foundation in partnership with the DEDO to strengthen nonprofit organizations. The grants aim to directly empower and provide services to Denver’s residents by strengthening the nonprofits serving historically marginalized communities. Grants will range from $500-$20,000, and the program plans to award 10-30 grants in 2024.
Note: This is different from Technical Assistance (TA) Fund at The Denver Foundation. You can visit that web page for more information.
