Transportation Safety Foundation Grant

The E-470 Public Highway Authority Transportation Safety Foundation operates as a nonprofit corporation dedicated to promoting charitable giving, public safety, transportation safety, and driver education. Through this initiative, the foundation provides grants to eligible organizations as a means of supporting transportation safety in the state of Colorado, particularly along the E-470 corridor and its surrounding areas. The foundation seeks to enhance public safety by funding projects that align with its mission and contribute to driver education and road safety. The Transportation Safety Foundation Grant is available to nonprofit organizations and tax-exempt government entities located in Colorado. The program is designed to support projects that focus on transportation safety, public safety, and driver education. Each year, the foundation awards up to 15 grants in amounts of $2,500, $5,000, or $10,000. Organizations must reapply annually to be eligible for funding. The foundation does not provide grants to individuals, political organizations, labor unions, fraternal groups, social clubs, sectarian religious organizations, fundraising events, sports leagues, or any other entities deemed inappropriate by the foundation board. Applications for the 2025 grant cycle must be submitted by Friday, March 21, 2025. All grant recipients will be notified in April 2025, and the foundation will host a Grant Award Ceremony in June 2025 to recognize the selected organizations. After receiving funding, grant recipients must submit a year-end program report detailing the program’s outcomes by December 31, 2025. This report should include program photos if available and must be sent to the Transportation Safety Foundation's email. The grant application requires applicants to provide comprehensive details about their organization, including an overview of their history, the specific program requesting funding, and the expected impact of the project. Applicants must also submit a detailed budget outline specifying how the grant funds will be used in 2025. Additionally, organizations are required to provide references from three professionals who can attest to their work, along with supporting documentation such as informational brochures, financial reports, a tax-exempt determination letter, a list of corporate and foundation supporters, and a roster of key staff or board members. Applicants must certify that their submission is for a program that supports transportation safety, public safety, or driver education in Colorado. They must also confirm that they understand that failure to provide the required documentation will result in disqualification. For any inquiries, organizations can contact the foundation at TSF@e-470.com. The foundation’s main office is located at 22470 E. Stephen D. Hogan Parkway, Aurora, CO 80018, and additional information can be accessed on the E-470 Public Highway Authority website.
