The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado has opened the nonprofit partner grant application for this year’s Durango Wine Experience.
The popular shoulder-season event, which serves as the foundation’s biggest fundraiser, will be held April 24-25. This year’s event will once again highlight the work of 10 area nonprofits and provide each selected nonprofit with a $2,500 grant.
This is the fourth year Durango Wine Experience has incorporated the grant into the event, which helps support the Community Foundation’s mission to connect the community to local nonprofits.
The nonprofits selected to receive this year’s grant will have the opportunity to share about their organization’s mission with key community members during the Walkabout event in downtown Durango from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on April 24.
Attendees will have a unique experience of getting a taste of delectable wines and the nonprofit sector in Southwest Colorado.
On April 25, the nonprofits will help with various needs at the Grand Tasting in Buckley Park from 3 to 6 p.m. This portion of the event typically attracts more than 850 guests.
Nonprofits interested in learning more and applying for this unique grant opportunity should go to www.swcommunityfoundation.org/dwe-nonprofit-partners/.
Weekend passes are available now at www.durangowine.com/tickets/.
The Community Foundation inspires hope, leadership and generosity in the community by bringing economic stability, professional development and collaboration to the nonprofit sector.
As a community facilitator, the Community Foundation works to increase efficiency, sustainability and success for nonprofits, while maximizing effective grant-making for philanthropists.
