High Country Region Grant

The High Country Region Grant, offered by The Moniker Foundation, supports organizations operating in specified priority regions, including Routt and Summit Counties. Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charities focusing on Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, or Health & Human Services. The program includes a Pre-Application Meeting for first-time applicants and requires attendance at Pitch Day for selected organizations. The foundation prioritizes critical operating activities over nonessential projects during the application process.

NOTE:
Prior to each application period, first-time applicants are required to attend a Pre-Application Meeting. Contact the Foundation for more information and to set up the Pre-Application Meeting in the required time period. If your organization is selected to move forward after submitting an application, an official representative must be present at the predetermined date and time for Pitch Day.

Our Competitive Grants Program operates through a regionally focused approach with three, separate funding cycles per year. The three funding cycles are directly correlated to our three priority regions and feature a slightly abbreviated application process, along with the addition of an in-person presentation component that we call Pitch Day.
Our funding is broken in three different regions as identified by the Board: High Country Region, Pikes Peak Region, Southwest Region.
