Ideal Applicant
A Colorado-based nonprofit that provides sight- or hearing-related services (client support, assistive devices, or local service delivery), preferably with local Fort Collins ties or Lions Club affiliation.
Good Fit
- • Located in Colorado, ideally Fort Collins or nearby.
- • Programs serving blind, low-vision, or low-income hearing-impaired clients.
- • Operational or mission alignment with Lions Club charitable work.
- • Project-level requests for client services, hearing aids, or direct charitable support.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the tens of thousands of dollars range.
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in Colorado; the latest year’s grants were entirely in-state and the foundation is based in Fort Collins.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded one distinct recipient, and across the observed years the foundation has repeatedly supported a small handful of local sight/hearing charities rather than a broad, diverse portfolio.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover or regular newcomer funding is limited; the funder publishes a website and contact email but no formal application guidelines, and recent behavior looks relationship-driven so new entrants may face moderate difficulty entering the portfolio.
