Here is today’s featured foundation.

Daniels Fund

Website: https://danielsfund.org/

Mission & Purpose: To make life better for the people of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Founded by cable television pioneer Bill Daniels, the fund is dedicated to ethics, integrity, and helping individuals achieve their maximum potential.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is strictly limited to their four-state region: CO, NM, UT, and WY. They fund in specific areas defined by their founder, including Aging, Drug & Alcohol Addiction, Youth Development, and Disabilities. They are a very transparent funder with a clear grant application process. They prioritize organizations that are effective, efficient, and ethical.

Featured Opportunity: The fund has a specific and powerful focus on "Amateur Sports" (specifically for youth). They fund organizations that use sports to teach character, teamwork, and discipline to young people. If you run a youth sports league or a mentorship program involving athletics in the Mountain West, this is a top-tier prospect.

Recommendation: A youth development organization or senior services provider in the Mountain West that can demonstrate high ethical standards and clear metrics of success.
