About This Event

Virtual Funder Roundtables are an opportunity to directly engage with staff from foundations and grantmaking agencies of your choosing—to introduce yourself, share a bit about your work, ask questions about funding fit, and speak to your needs and plans. This three-and-a-half-hour session allows participating nonprofits and local governments to connect with up to six funders of their choice throughout the morning. To ensure meaningful engagement and foster regional relationship-building, each round will be limited to four participants. 

 

Counties served: Serving Delta, Eagle, Garfield, Mesa, and Pitkin counties (Only nonprofits based in or serving these counties are eligible due to space limitations.)

Participating Grantmakers: Anschutz Family Foundation, Caring for ColoradoColorado Creative Industries (part of OEDIT)Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), The Colorado TrustEl Pomar Foundation, Gates Family FoundationThe State Historical Fund. More funders being added daily!

Part 2: Sign Up With Specific Funders (Opens After Pre-Training)

We will share a link to sign up with funders through SignUp Genius after the pre-training.

  • With the tools from the pre-training, research funders and start thinking who you want to meet!

Why this step comes later:
The pre-training helps you prepare your organization’s story, understand the SignUp Genius platform, and identify which funders best fit your work. This ensures you get the most out of the Roundtables.
