OUR GRANTMAKING
Check presentation at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
The RK Foundation’s goal is to fund strong, local nonprofits which provide programs and support to communities that align with our focus areas. Our funding is focused on:
- Community Development: We believe in the power of individuals, groups of people and businesses working together to strengthen the communities in which we live and work. We seek to support organizations that innovate and generate tangible solutions to issues affecting communities in the Rocky Mountain region. We believe in building our futures together.
- Education: Quality education systems are the foundation for successful businesses and communities, and is a key driver to disrupting the poverty cycle for so many families. We have a strong connection to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, and a passion for developing career technical education and pathways for the skilled trades. Our purpose is to invest in a variety of educational pathways that allow a diverse workforce to flourish. We respect and admire 501(c)(3)s that are relentless in their pursuit of delivering better quality solutions.
Health: Healthy stakeholders and communities are a priority. We support physical and mental health initiatives in the workplace and the community. Loyalty to the RK family and community is a driving force behind our giving.
