The Alan Green Memorial Foundation concentrates its small, focused giving on student scholarships at Colorado higher-education institutions. Grants are directed to state universities with an emphasis on need-based awards, suggesting the foundation prioritizes helping local students access college. Its giving is narrowly targeted rather than broadly distributed across causes.
Highly concentrated: very few, moderately sized grants to regional higher‑education institutions for scholarships; appears to favor one-off or annual scholarship awards rather than broad program funding.
A single scholarship award sets the tone for the Alan Green Memorial Foundation: the IZ BAR Leadership Award provides $15,000 per year for four years, or $60,000 total, to one high-school senior. That emphasis on a named leadership scholarship sits alongside a larger pattern of need-based aid for Colorado students and small grants to local community organizations. The foundation’s giving is narrow and practical, with support flowing to students at public universities, community colleges, and trade schools, as well as a limited set of Gilpin County charities and civic groups. In the recent grants list, Colorado School of Mines appears as a repeated recipient for scholarship support, and Colorado State University also receives repeated aid. The foundation also backs students at the University of Colorado Boulder, Adams State University, and other regional schools, which points to a mix of higher-education support across Colorado and beyond. Organizational grants show a second track: local nonprofits serving Gilpin County, including food, human services, recreation, school, and ambulance organizations. The overall profile is one of direct, targeted assistance rather than broad programmatic funding.
Education is the clearest theme. The foundation gave $10,000 to Colorado School of Mines for a scholarship for needy individuals, and another $8,000 to Colorado State University for the same purpose. It also supported the University of Colorado Boulder with $7,000 for scholarship aid, showing a repeated focus on helping students cover college costs. Community support is the other visible track. The foundation awarded $5,000 to Gilpin County Food Pantry for charitable or civic work and $4,000 to Gilpin County Human Services for the same broad purpose. Local civic organizations also appear in the grants list, including Gilpin County Parks Recreation and Gilpin County School Booster Club. The structure of these awards suggests a foundation that pairs student aid with modest local grants aimed at services and community life in Gilpin County.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $1,273, the median is $2,000, and the 75th percentile is $3,000. That distribution fits a pattern of modest awards, with a few larger scholarship commitments such as the $60,000 total IZ BAR Leadership Award described in the programs list. The recent grants also show repeat recipients across years, including Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University, the University of Colorado Boulder, Gilpin Ambulance Authority, Teens Inc, and Canyon Cares. The foundation accepts unsolicited applications for its scholarship and organizational grant programs. Its structure combines individual aid with community grants, including support for individuals and local organizations.
