The Daniels Fund Grants Program accepts letters of inquiry from 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

Grant amounts vary considerably and depend on many factors. Some important considerations include the applicant organization's program budget, the consistency of the program goals with the Fund's priority areas and strategies, and the amount of support the program is receiving from other sources.

In recent years, the median grant award for proposals was approximately $75,000.

Links to online inquiry forms are available on the program website. Each focus area and state has its own application process.

Unsolicited proposals are not accepted in New Mexico.
