Non-Profit Grant Program

Our community benefits from non-profit agencies that add vibrancy and texture to our quality of life in the Roaring Fork Valley. The City of Aspen and Pitkin County recognize the on-going partnerships that we have had with non-profits through the years. Working collaboratively with the goal of streamlining the grant process for non-profits seeking funding from one or both entities, the City of Aspen and Pitkin County have developed:

• 2009 Grant Application
• 2009 ARTS ONLY Grant Application
• 2009 Pitkin County Grant Guidelines  
• Common Performance-based Evaluation System, and
• Common Performance Measure Reporting Forms:
• 2008 Midyear Performance Measure Report - due August 15, 2008.
• Midyear Performance Measure Report for Agencies Receiving Less than $5,000 - due August 15, 2008.
• Colorado Immigration Law Reference Guide – Grant Contract Compliance [3.95MB] 

2007 Non-Profit Training with Bill Rivenbark

• Basic Outcome Measures  
• Training for Non-Profit Board Members  
• Performance Management Rating System  
• Tell the Story - Arts  
• Tell the Story  

The goals of common form and systems of evaluation are:

• To allow an efficiency for non-profits who can then spend less time completing grant forms and more time fulfilling their mission, and
• To encourage complete and focused grant applications that accurately reflect the applicant's mission, goals, benefit to the community, target audience and financial condition.

The City of Aspen and Pitkin County have separate funding sources and separate grant review processes. For more information on each, please refer to the appropriate section below.
