Products & Services Financial Education YES GRANTS Ent Says YES for Kids 2021 YES Grant Winners Have Been Announced! We see young people as crucial to the present and future success of their communities. And it’s why after 21 years, we’re still approving Ent Youth Endowment Series (YES) grants to not-for-profit agencies that benefit youth in the communities we serve. In 2021, we awarded $200,000 in grants to deserving organizations across the state of Colorado. Since we began in 2000, Ent YES Grants totaling more than $1.6 million have helped 240 Colorado nonprofits serve children of all ages in crucial and life-changing ways. Among other support services, YES Grants have helped organizations throughout the state provide shelter for children facing abuse, put food on the table, foster education and literacy programs and much more. This year, we received 164 applications with grant asks of $1.32 million. Through competitive applications, and the tireless work of our panelists committee, we narrowed that down to a total of 53 grant recipients. See the list below to view our YES Grant recipients that are serving our Colorado communities.
