LWVCO Project Grants are made possible the Eva Fifkova bequest and are funded by the interest and dividends earned. The mission of this program is to provide financial support for League activities around Colorado. Project Grants will be awarded on a rolling basis with no deadlines, and award notification typically occurs within 45 days. This flexible grant opportunity is limited to a maximum of $500 per Local League within one fiscal year.
Some ideas for Project Grants include purchase of equipment or electronic devices; speaker honorariums; venue rentals or materials for forums or voter education events; videoconferencing services (i.e. Zoom); or social media outreach. We welcome creative ideas that promote the League's mission of empowering voters and defending democracy!
