What is GrantCorps?

GrantCorps provides information, training, and technical support to nonprofits across Colorado in grant development and management so that funding gets to the organizations that need it most. All GrantCorps services are provided at no cost to eligible organizations. We support small, rural, and systemically marginalized communities, as well as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) led organizations so they can more equitably access private and government grant funding.

Our goals are to:

  • Increase the amount of grant funds awarded to small, rural, and systemically marginalized communities
  • Provide robust, accessible, and free grant training opportunities to eligible nonprofits
  • Provide free grant coaching and consultation services to eligible nonprofits such as drafting, reviewing, and submitting grant applications and reports
