The Daniels Fund on Thursday announced grants totaling $9.5 million to programs serving the homeless, the disabled and the aging.
“The level of funding made available through the charitable legacy of Bill Daniels is amazing,” said Linda Childears, president and chief executive of the Daniels Fund. “However, the nonprofit organizations that strengthen our communities by providing vital services continue to struggle with a lack of funding and need everyone’s support.”
Major grant recipients include: Bayaud Industries, the Colorado Parent and Child Foundation, Colorado Youth Corps, Congressional Medal of Honor Society Colorado Convention, Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Alliance Programs, Food Bank of the Rockies, Fort Carson School District 8, Goodwill Industries of Denver, Hospice of Metro Denver, Mesa State College, Rebuilding Together Metro Denver, Seniors Resource Center, the Fund for Colorado’s Future High Horizons Project, the YESS Institute, University of Denver Bridge Project, and Warren Village.
For the year, the Daniels Fund will award a projected $38 million in grants and $13 million in college scholarships, totaling an estimated $51 million in funding.
The fund was created by the late Bill Daniels, who amassed a fortune in the cable-TV industry.
