MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KREX) — The Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) awarded more than $31 million to 489 nonprofits that have historically helped marginalized communities statewide.
The grants were selected through the Nonprofit Infrastructure (NPI) Grant Program.
We are so pleased to announce the recipients of the NPI grand program after months of careful and thoughtful evaluation. These much needed funds will help community organizations throughout our state continue their work of servicing underrepresented populations.
