Contract Control Number: OEDEV- 54860

 

Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): COLORADO NONPROFIT DEVELOPMENT CENTER (CNDC)

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

Based on significant demand and accelerated application review and contracting systems in place, DEDO is preparing to actively provide grant assistance up to a maximum of $15,000 per grantee to eligible Denver nonprofit organizations to alleviate impacts resulting from COVID-19. This rapid-response funding program will support nonprofits in Denver to continue critical programs and services for residents across a spectrum of needs. CNDC will receive up to 5% of the program cost for its services, including financial review, issuing and disbursing grant funds, and following up with grantees as needed. 

 

Nonprofits will submit an application and be assessed according to the following criteria:

                     Disruption of services and programs;

                     Increased demands;

                     Decreased donations; and

                     New or expanded services in response to COVID-19.

 

In an effort to make this grant program as inclusive, diverse, and equitable as possible, priority will be given to nonprofits that:

                     Operate in vulnerable communities;

                     Have staff and board members representative of the communities they serve;

                     May not have access to traditional public funding; and

                     May provide programs and/or support directly related to COVID-19 relief.

 

This grant program seeks to ensure Denver residents have access to the support and services that nonprofit organizations provide to communities throughout the city. DEDO will oversee program implementation and work closely with CNDC throughout the whole grant cycle.

 

With the funding currently in place, and accounting for administrative costs, the program can be expected to serve approximately 125 local nonprofits, with one-time individual grants capped at $15,000, through December 31, 2020.
