Quarterly Grant Partners Announced

This quarter's grantmaking supports organizations across metro Denver's arts and culture community, combining new awards from our July Board of Trustees meeting, payments on earlier multi-year commitments, and grants made between meetings. The support spans general operating funding, capital projects, equity-focused investments, and technical assistance.

Capital support is helping build lasting infrastructure: $100,000 toward ArtistiCO's Arts & Wellness Center campaign, $80,000 for D3 Arts' cultural center and campus expansion, $150,000 for Phamaly Theatre Company's Tramway Nonprofit Center Garage Renovation, and a new HVAC system for the Filipino-American Community of Colorado's cultural center.

Equity and access remain central. Twenty Inclusive Communities partners each receive $10,000 in general operating support, and a $200,000 payment on a $600,000 multi-year commitment to Think 360 Arts for Learning advances the Equity in Arts Learning initiative.

Multi-year commitments continue with CAST Colorado and Arts in Society, alongside new awards to Art Students League of Denver, RedLine Contemporary Art Center, and The Denver Brass. Smaller targeted grants help emerging organizations build capacity — technical assistance for Los Fantasmas Art Collective, and a pilot program from Know Your Story…Tell Your Story for middle school students exploring the African Diaspora.

Together, these grants reflect our belief that a vibrant city is one where creativity is resourced at every scale.
