The Foundation endeavors to support organizations and communities in the Greater Denver area through values-driven philanthropy.

The Recovery Foundation awards grants three times each calendar year. Grant requests may be submitted at any time during the year; however they will be reviewed three times a year:

First cycle: Applications received between Jan 1st and April 30th will receive a response by June 30th.

Grant Application Guidelines

The Recovery Foundation (TRF) is determined to make each gift with a sense of purpose and with the clear expectation of measurable outcomes. Grants of up to $250,000 will be considered. Grants over $25,000 are considered major grants. While not required, the preferred method of making major gifts is either through real estate investment or through “matching funds.” Real estate investment can be in the form of an equity grant. Matching funds encourages the receiving non-profit organization to solicit other gifts, while inspiring greater confidence in other donors, potentially greatly enhancing TRF’s impact. The Foundation does not award grants for operations or ongoing activities/programs.
