Funding areas include Aging, Amateur Sports, Disabilities, Drug & Alcohol Addiction, Early Childhood Education, Homeless & Disadvantaged, K-12 Education Reform, and Youth Development. In Colorado Outstate and Wyoming, the focus is on youth programs, community facilities, addiction prevention and treatment, and collaborative initiatives.
