Organizing for Education in Colorado

We invite organizations that are implementing community plans to advocate for policy or practice changes, as well as those moving from planning to action. 

Examples of eligible activities include:

• Listening and awareness campaigns to identify areas for action in education policy
• Advocacy or research efforts targeting statewide or municipal/district policy initiatives addressing systemic educational gaps
• Advocacy and action on behalf of communities facing significant barriers to opportunity, advancing education-specific policy priorities 

501(c)(3) organizations based in the state of Colorado are eligible to apply. Applications are accepted through an invitation-only process one-time a year – typically in the spring. If you would like to be considered for the opportunity, please contact us here. 

Grant amounts typically range from $10,000 to $30,000, determined based on alignment with the opportunity and the organization’s clear perspective, approach, process and goals related to fostering systems change or influencing educational policy levers.
