FW: Make Kids Count in Colorado

 

“By helping families lift themselves out of poverty, keeping them from falling into it, and addressing the needs of their young children, work supports like quality childcare play a powerful role in improving our children’s well-being.”          -2009 Kids Count in Colorado, Colorado Children’s Campaign   As referenced in a recent Denver Business Journal Article, child poverty has increased 85% in Colorado between 2000 and 2007. This sobering statistic and many others have just been released in the 2009 Kids Count in Colorado report by the Colorado Children’s Campaign.  Mile High United Way’s three initiatives, School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency, address many of the core issues highlighted in the report. From quality childcare, to enriching after-school programs to educational and job-training assistance, Mile High United Way can improve the lives of people in all stages of their lives. Through our partner agencies and initiatives and with your help, we can change these statistics. Please learn more about Mile High United Way and how you can help us make a difference or donate now.

Become a Colorado CGA and CGR Expert

Become a Colorado CGA and CGR Expert

This low-cost workshop is designed to build your organization’s ability to win competitive grants and how you can use your grant reports to position yourself for future funding success. The three-hour session, which is being offered around the state, will focus on best practices of the Common Grant Application and preparing for the new Common Grant Report Form, publicly launched in July 2009.

Since its launch in summer 2008, the revised Common Grant Application (CGA) has been adopted by more than 90 Colorado funders. Grantmakers and grantseekers have identified some of the common errors that writers make in their application. This training will cover the best practices of the CGA and how to avoid the CGA mistakes made by grantwriters from across the spectrum of experience.

The second part of the training will cover the revised Common Grant Report Form (CGR). The revised report represents a significant revision and improvement over the CGR currently in use, and consequently will require different kinds of answers than the current CGR. Don’t wait until your new CGR is due to start learning how to address its new questions.

Please click on a city below or on one of the two Webinars to register. Other Western Slope trainings will be announced in the coming days, as will locations that are currently listed as TBD.

This comprehensive training has been created and marketed through a partnership between the Community Resource Center, the Colorado Nonprofit Association and JVA Consulting. These three capacity building organizations have worked diligently to provide trainings across Colorado during the months following the public release of the revised Common Grant Report.
