The Alan Lasater Outreach Foundation functions primarily as a scholarship fund, directing nearly all of its giving to individual students for higher education. Grants are awarded to named individuals (often more than once), suggesting multi-year or repeat student support rather than institutional programming. Award sizes are meaningful at the student level, indicating a focus on directly enabling college attendance or persistence.
Concentrated, individual-focused giving: a small number of sizable awards mostly to students (several repeat grantees), rather than many small grants or broad institutional grants.
The Alan Lasater Outreach Foundation’s recent giving is dominated by scholarships to named students, with repeat awards showing support that can follow the same recipient across multiple years. In the latest grants list, Meagan Morrow received $36,605 in 2023 and another $13,016 in 2024, while Delaney Hegger received $16,885 in 2023 and $17,460 in 2024. That pattern points to direct higher-education support rather than program grants or institutional campaigns. The foundation’s grants are sized at a student-support level, but some awards are large enough to materially cover a portion of college costs over time. Recent recipients include students from Sterling, Fort Morgan, Grand Junction, and other Colorado communities, along with students in Texas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. Across the grants shown, the foundation gives to individuals for higher education and often returns to the same student in later years, indicating a relationship-based scholarship approach.
Higher education access is the core theme of the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $15,639 to Macey Braun in Grand Junction, Colorado, and $10,112 to Sierra Lee in Simla, Colorado, both for higher education. The same category also appears in support for Ethen Gonzalez, who received $13,751 in 2024, and Jonathan Zimmerman, who received $1,800 in 2024. Repeat support is part of the pattern: Kaitlyn Rector received $7,635 in 2023 and $1,471 in 2024, while Gavin Ashmore received $2,400 in 2023 and $1,400 in 2024. The grants are concentrated on individual students rather than institutions, with each award tied to higher education.
Typical awards cluster in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $3,742, the median is $11,178, and the 75th percentile is $15,950. The recent record also shows repeat recipients, including students funded in both 2023 and 2024, which suggests ongoing scholarship support rather than one-time gifts. The foundation is not making program-related investments and does not fund individuals outside this scholarship-style pattern. Its grants are delivered directly to named student recipients, and the data shows no indication of an open application process.
