Human Services Commission grants

Since 1980, a portion of county sales tax revenues has been dedicated to human services needs to eligible applicants in the Human Services Commission (HSC) grant process. Applicants include nonprofit corporations under section 501(c) (3) of the I.R.S. code – in good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State – that operate and provide human services within Garfield County. Similar government agencies are also eligible. These funds cannot be granted to for-profit corporations or to individuals.

The HSC grant process is competitive. Receipt of funds in a prior year is not a guarantee of receiving funds, or the same amount of funds, in the current year. Review the entire application and all instructions prior to beginning work on it.

Review your application completely before submitting it. The HSC complies with all applicable state and federal laws and does not discriminate in any manner.

Contact Garfield County at any point while completing your application here.
We will do our best to answer your questions.
