Find out if your organization is eligible for a grant.
The LCCF considers grant requests from Lake County nonprofit organizations, or organizations partnered with Lake County nonprofits, serving the Lake County, Colorado community.
We award grants to the following:
- Local nonprofit organizations and partnerships that meet our mission statement objectives and other selection criteria.
- Programs that increase the capabilities and capacity of other local nonprofit organizations.
- Infrastructure projects focused on developing a sustainable economy or programs aimed at improving the quality of life for people in the community.
At this time, we do not offer grants to individuals or multi-year funding. We intend to explore an option for multi-year funding requests in future years.
