Nonprofit grants available through Onward!

Onward! A Legacy Foundation, has announced it’s first grant cycle for local nonprofit organizations.

The cycle began Friday, and applications are now available. Ten short-term grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 will be available.

“There are a lot of non-profits doing a lot of great work,” said Chuck Forth, executive director of Onward!. “We want to enhance other organizations (by) offering additional support.”

To qualify, applicants must be a nonprofit from Montezuma, Dolores, La Plata, Archuleta or San Juan County, must have a 501(c)3 status or similar nonprofit designation, must have a governing body such as a board of directors, and have well defined and measurable goals.

Since its creation in 2002, the Cortez-based organization has helped distribute $3 million in scholarships and grants.

“It’s for the betterment of the entire community,” Forth said.

Onward! also has a new office building located at 33 North Chestnut St. in Cortez.
