休假计划

在当今世界,成功地领导一个非营利组织需要无尽的奉献和时间. 然而,, nonprofit leaders are often so committed to their missions that spending time away to re-energize can be an afterthought. The 非营利性休假计划 aims to recognize and reward long-term and respected nonprofit leaders in Colorado and strengthen the organizations they lead by offering funds for interim leadership and staff capacity building. The program offers nonprofit executives the opportunity to step away from professional responsibilities and take time for themselves for rejuvenation. 在理想的情况下, the executive returns to their professional life with new ideas and a fresh sense of commitment to their work, 非营利部门以及所有科罗拉多人的健康和健康公平.

我们的 我们所做的一切都必须有三个基石 引导我们解决历史上最根深蒂固的不平等问题. 我们希望我们的合作伙伴在与我们一起工作时优先考虑这些基石. This commitment necessitates that we prioritize a diverse cohort of grantees whose work and values are in alignment with our cornerstones and who represent a range of identities including race/ethnicity, 性别认同, 能力/残疾身份, 性取向和地理区域.

每年将提供最多5次休假. 每次休假必须在收到奖励后的18个月内进行. 

The Foundation has engaged a technical assistance (TA) team who provides support to both interested applicants and awarded grantees. We recommend that the nonprofit organization and its executive seek professional tax advice separately prior to applying for this grant.
