--- ## Description The Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) Capital Campaign Request for Funding is designed for nonprofit organizations in western Colorado seeking support for significant capital projects exceeding $25,000—such as facilities, major equipment, or other substantial investments. Rather than a competitive grant cycle, this process serves as an intake and matching opportunity: organizations submit their capital needs, and WCCF works to match requests with compatible donor funds as available. Funding is not guaranteed, and only those projects for which a donor match is identified will move forward. Applications are reviewed quarterly, and organizations are contacted within about a month if their project is selected for further consideration. --- ## Due Dates - September 4, 2026: Capital Campaign Request for Funding close date (submission deadline) --- ## Funding Amount - Typical grants through this process range from $10,000 to $25,000. - Applicants must request funding for capital needs exceeding $25,000. - The actual award depends on available donor-advised funds and is not guaranteed. --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants must: - Be a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity, or an organization serving a charitable purpose (e.g., schools, local governments, or churches with charitable programs). - Have offices and/or provide services in one or more of the seven counties WCCF serves: Delta, Eagle, Garfield, Mesa, Montrose, Ouray, or Rio Blanco. - Be registered and in good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State.
