Request For Funding (RFF) 

The 2024 Request For Funding (RFF) is an opportunity for nonprofit organizations to submit requests to the Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) for either general operating support/project support or smaller capital requests under $25,000. Please see the Capital Campaign Funding Request tab below for guidelines on submitting a capital funding request of $25,000 or more. The RFF is not a formal application and there is no guarantee of funding. Submissions are reviewed quarterly by the WCCF Grants and Program Team for consideration for funding across our current fund portfolio. Organizations submitting a RFF will be informed of their status within the month following the quarter in which the request is submitted.
