The Denver-based Daniels Fund has announced that it distributed $67.5 million in grants to nonprofit organizations and student scholarships in 2023.

The total includes $51.6 million in grants to nonprofit organizations across Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, as well as to select national organizations, and $15.9 million in scholarships to students from those states. Grants were awarded through the fund’s eight funding areas: aging, amateur sports, disabilities, drug and alcohol addiction, early childhood education, homeless and disadvantaged, K-12 education reform, and youth development, as well as for ethics education through the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative.

“We are honored to carry forward Bill Daniels’ legacy of giving back and positively influence communities through our efforts,” said Daniels Fund president and CEO Hanna Skandera. “I am sure he would be proud of the transformative impact of our grantees and scholars. They’re truly making a difference in the lives of people across the four states that meant so much to Bill.”
