The E-470 Public Highway Authority Transportation Safety Foundation is a nonprofit organization committed to enhancing public safety, transportation safety, and driver education through charitable giving and grants. The foundation focuses on promoting safety initiatives, particularly in the state of Colorado. One of its key programs is the annual grant opportunity that provides financial support to high schools to facilitate safe, substance-free After Prom events.
This grant program awards $500 to selected high schools to assist in creating an environment where students can celebrate responsibly. The funding supports activities, entertainment, and safety measures that ensure a secure and enjoyable After Prom experience. The foundation prioritizes applications from schools located along the E-470 corridor and surrounding areas, reinforcing its commitment to serving the local community.
The 2025 grant application is currently open and will close on March 21, 2025. Eligible schools are encouraged to apply within this timeframe to secure funding for their After Prom events. While specific evaluation criteria are not provided, preference will likely be given to schools that clearly outline plans for a well-organized, substance-free celebration.
