Boettcher Foundation: Leadership Practitioner Catalyst Grants

The Leadership Practitioner Catalyst Grant Program strengthens the capacity of leadership organizations that are working to create a more inclusive and accessible leadership ecosystem in Colorado – as discussed in Boettcher’s Leadership Practitioner Collaborative meetings. These quarterly convenings, which started in 2021, bring together the leaders of leadership programs and organizations to share knowledge, resources, and build relationships.

Note: We prefer that organizations only submit one application of the following grant opportunities (Leadership Practitioner Catalyst Grant, Rural Catalyst Grant, or Community Connections Grant) per cycle.

These capacity-building grants range from $1,000-$10,000 and are intended to support one-time, strategic projects. The grants are distributed to support one of the following project areas:

• Launch evaluation or impact measurement work
• Diversify program participants
• Increase or formalize collaboration across programs or organizations
• Professional development for an organization’s executive leadership

Grants will be awarded after a competitive review.
