Northwest Colorado Grants Collective
The Northwest Colorado Grants Collective is a partnership with the Northwest Colorado Development Council and the Yampa Valley Community Foundation to create a list of grant professionals to increase grant writing and management capacity for regional nonprofits, local governments, and businesses interested in hiring grant writers to support developing proposals for federal, state, and local grants. The list includes professionals who are for hire as contractors or full-time employees and may even provide some pro-bono services.
Please note: This list of available grant writers self-reported information that may help organizations source a grant professional. It is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all available grant writers serving the region nor do we attest to the validity of the information that was submitted by the individuals. Neither NWCDC nor YVCF endorse any individuals or organizations who represent themselves as grant professionals. We recommend organizations seeking to hire grant writing/management professionals create an internal process to vet, verify, and select the best grant professionals for their needs and ensure desired outcomes.
