Who Accepts the CGA?

The following grant makers accept the Colorado Common Grant Application (2008 revision). Please note that some funders require additional information or have made slight modifications to the application. Others may require a letter of intent prior to receiving an application. Therefore, it is essential for grantseekers to visit funder websites for the most up-to-date information about individual funder requirements, deadlines, modifications to the CGA, and other pertinent information.

While this list is regularly updated and new funders are added periodically, we cannot guarantee that it is completely accurate. Again, check each funder's website prior to submitting an application. Where available, the link to the funder's page is provided below.

Also, some funders accept the CGA or CGR but with slight modifications. These modifications are not indicated here on this site. It is critical that you check with each grantmaker to determine their most recent guidelines and processes.
