About professional development grants in Colorado
Professional development grants fund training, education, and skill-building — for nonprofit staff, educators, artists, researchers, or other professionals — such as conferences, courses, certifications, coaching, and capacity-building. They invest in people and organizational capability rather than programs or buildings, on the premise that stronger skills produce better outcomes. These grants can support individuals directly or help organizations train their teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a professional development grant?
A professional development grant funds learning and skill-building activities — workshops, conferences, courses, certifications, coaching, or sabbaticals — that advance the capability of an individual or an organization's staff. The goal is to strengthen expertise, leadership, and capacity rather than to fund a specific program or project directly.
Who offers professional development grants?
These grants come from foundations with capacity-building or leadership-development priorities, professional associations and field-specific funders, employers and workforce programs, and community foundations. Some are awarded to organizations to train their teams, while others go directly to individuals such as educators, artists, or emerging nonprofit leaders.
Can individuals apply, or only organizations?
It depends on the funder. Many professional development grants are made to nonprofits or institutions to build the skills of their staff, but a number of programs — particularly fellowships, scholarships, and field-specific awards — fund individuals directly. Always check whether a given program accepts individual applicants and what eligibility, fields, or affiliations it requires.
