Announcing Bonfils-Stanton Foundation’s Summer 2025 Quarterly Grant Partners

This summer, Bonfils-Stanton Foundation is pleased to announce the distribution of $915,000 in grant awards. These grants are a testament to our deepening partnership with Denver’s arts and culture organizations, aimed at fostering diversity and vibrancy within our community.

This cycle we are particularly excited to invest in the brand-new CAST Colorado as well as capital support for the Clayton Arts Program Capital Improvement Project and the FreshLo Arts Education Center. We are proud to support all three of these projects which are working to create and secure physical spaces for arts and culture in the Denver community.  

We have also reinforced our support for 20 other organizations, most with general operating support, to help them continue to do the great work they are already doing. We are continually thankful for being invited to support their efforts and look forward to the positive impacts these investments will have in our community.
