Capital Grants for Arts Organizations

About this program

The Bonfils-Stanton Foundation offers capital grants to support arts and culture organizations in Denver, prioritizing projects that benefit multiple organizations, serve diverse communities, and promote equitable access and artist live/work spaces. Grants are typically awarded to organizations with operating budgets under $5 million. Eligibility requires 501(c)3 status, a focus on public arts programming, a minimum of 3 years of consistent operations, and paid staffing equivalent to at least 0.5 FTE. Organizations must be based in Denver, with potential exceptions for small-budget, community-driven groups in adjacent counties, and must demonstrate a commitment to DEI practices.
