Grant Guidelines
Only requests from rural schools, school districts, teacher, and BOCES in Colorado will be considered.
- Questions on eligibility? Please refer to the Colorado Department of Education definition of rural schools and school districts.
Priority will be given to schools/districts and programs serving lower-income communities.
Grant amounts typically range from $1,000 to $30,000 USD*.
Applicants must apply each year for new funding.
Each project may receive grant funds for up to three consecutive years, at which point grantees must wait one year to re-apply for additional funds.
Our funding priority is K-12 programs/projects that will directly impact students.
