Gracefull Foundation
Gracefull Foundation is a public charity based in Englewood, Colorado. Its stated purpose is to cultivate a healthier, more connected and stronger community, with work centered on food access and community connection in Littleton. Its 2025 filing is marked as the organization’s final return and says remaining funds were distributed to qualified nonprofits, so the foundation appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking.
