Details:
The Payroll Department strategically designates part of its nonprofit giving in La Plata County with its matching grants. This year the Payroll Department is offering three grants of $7,000 for three La Plata County organizations that support efforts in one of these areas:
- Youth
- Environment
- Human Services
This is not a general operations grant, but rather, the Payroll Department is especially interested in supporting programs or collaborations that further the nonprofit’s mission and may need a boost while the organization secures sustainable funding. This could be a new program or an expansion of services.
Funding Information
This grant requires a $7,000 match.
Eligibility Criteria

- For organizations to apply, they must be ready with a feasible, creative matching plan. The Payroll Department defines qualifying matching funds as new donors, grants, corporate sponsors, etc. directly related to the match.

- You do not have to be a client of the Payroll Department to be considered for the grant.
