A challenge grant can often double or even triple the value of a grant to an organization. Through effective marketing, matching grants can provide an additional incentive to donors for giving to the organization. Quite simply, we make matching grants to help organizations succeed. The Gill Foundation believes that you can best fulfill your mission when you have adequate resources for programs and activities. We have seen that organizations are successful when they achieve resources from a variety of sources.
Challenge grants encourage a diversity of funding sources for organizations.
Submit a proposal for a challenge grant to the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado. Once your challenge grant is approved formally, you can start raising money toward the challenge. You invoice the Foundation for payment of challenge funds. We want you to tailor your challenge grant to help you meet your current fundraising goals. Matching contributions given or solicited personally by board members.
