The Get Grounded Foundation
The Get Grounded Foundation is a private 501(c)(3) that provides community grants for innovative and entrepreneurial programs that directly supports the healthy development of youth in the Denver or Boulder metro areas. Since inception, we’ve been able to provide $539,000 in grants through 146 micro-grants.
Celebrating 10 Years of Impact
The Get Grounded Foundation will mark its 10th anniversary in 2025 with a special celebration of giving. Rather than hosting a traditional grant application cycle, we’re inviting our team members to nominate nonprofit organizations they’re passionate about for anniversary grants. While we won’t be accepting outside applications this year, we remain deeply committed to supporting innovative programs that help youth thrive. We look forward to returning to our regular application process in 2026. Thank you for being part of our journey.
