The Denver Foundation is pleased to invite qualified nonprofits working on voter engagement to apply for funding from the Civic Fabric Fund.

State: Colorado
County: Selected Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/30/2023
Size of the Grant: $5,000 to $15,000
Details:
Through the Civic Fabric Fund, The Denver Foundation provides nonprofits with funding to support their policy and advocacy efforts, including the critical activities of voter registration and engagement.
Elections allow voters to decide not only on elected officials who will represent them but also on critical state and local housing, education, and taxation policies. State and local lawmakers have made strides in making the voting process more equitable and secure. However, more work is needed to engage growing populations of eligible voters, especially among historically underrepresented groups (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian American or Pacific Islander, Black, Indigenous, and Latino/Latina, and those of economic disadvantage).
Voter engagement grants will support nonprofits’ efforts to register and mobilize new and low-turnout voters from historically underrepresented communities to vote this election year.
