Casey Family Programs is pleased to announce the winners of the 2015 Casey Excellence for Children Awards.

Foundations regularly provide capacity building support to nonprofit organizations, but it’s less typical for foundations to support the growth and capabilities of fellow funders. The Kirkpatrick Foundation’s relatively modest grant support of $12,500 gave the smaller Southwestern Urban Foundation the ability to redefine its direction and mission, develop a strategic plan, and communicate about their grantmaking.

Eighteen Colorado nonprofits focused on social services programming have been awarded a combined $770,000 from the Boettcher Foundation to support capital campaigns.
