The Anschutz Family Foundation accepts online grant applications twice a year during its spring and fall funding cycle for requests that fit within one or more of its funding areas and are for activities in the State of Colorado. Grants are typically between $5,000-$10,000. 

The Foundation’s online grant application includes narrative questions as well as required attachments. Please review all of our eligibility requirements & guidelines, funding areas & restrictions, and past grants before starting an application. We encourage you to call, email or submit a letter of inquiry (LOI) if you have any questions.

Applications must be submitted online (preferred) or received in our office by 5 p.m. on the deadline date. Faxed or emailed applications are not accepted. 

Due to the large volume of grant applications we receive, our review process takes about four months. Your application will be assigned to one of our staff members for review. We will contact you if we have any questions, need additional information or to schedule a site visit. We will communicate the board’s decision about your proposal by mail in late-May or late-November, depending upon the grant cycle in which you’ve applied.

Since inception, the Anschutz Family Foundation has awarded 10,964 grants totaling more than $63 million to nonprofit and community organizations (as of the end of 2022).

In 2022 alone, the Foundation awarded 304 grants totaling $2,427,872. Nearly 52% of those grants were directed toward nonprofits serving Colorado’s rural communities or providing services statewide.
