About Colorado Springs Sports
Colorado Springs Sports Corporation’s recent grants show a funder using sport as a civic tool: the largest award on file is $15,000 to Pride Soccer Club Inc for sports program support, and its giving also reaches events, scholarships, camps, and athlete development. The pattern is local and tightly tied to Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region, with the bulk of its grants landing in Colorado and a strong emphasis on youth participation. Smaller scholarship awards appear alongside larger support for programs that can host athletes, organize competitions, or extend access to training. Recent grants also point to a mix of community-based and event-facing partners. Colorado Hs Activities Association received $14,500 for sports program support, while the foundation gave $10,000 to USA Wrestling and $10,000 to Pikes Peak Outdoor Recreation Allia. Those awards sit alongside grants to groups such as Broadmoor World Arena and Cheyenne Mountain Resort, suggesting the foundation funds both participation and the settings that make sports events possible. Across the file, the funder’s work aligns with its stated mission to advance Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region through sport.
What Colorado Springs Sports Funds
A clear thread in the grant list is youth sports access. The foundation awarded $10,000 to US Taekwondo Center for sports program support and $7,000 to Cheyenne Mountain Hs for the same general purpose, showing support for organized athletic participation at both club and school levels. Event and tourism-related support is another visible lane. It gave $8,000 to Broadmoor World Arena and $7,500 to Cheyenne Mountain Resort, both framed as sports program support, indicating attention to venues and event infrastructure. The grants also touch competitive sport organizations and athlete development. Colorado Hs Activities Association received $14,500 for sports program support, and USA Basketball received $6,000. In the recent awards, sport is not treated as a single program area; it is used across youth access, competition, and event delivery.
How Colorado Springs Sports Gives
Typical grants are modest and clustered tightly around the middle of the distribution: p25 is $7,000, median is $8,000, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record includes several exact $10,000 awards, but also a steady band of $6,000 to $7,500 grants. Recipients appear in multiple years, including Colorado Hs Activities Association, Chd LLC Dba Adrenaline Lacrosee, Pride Soccer Club Inc, Cheyenne Mountain Resort, Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup, and USA Wrestling, which suggests repeat support rather than one-off giving. The foundation is not a donor-advised fund or a program-related investor; it is a grantmaking organization with local, operational support oriented toward sport programs and events.
