El Pomar Foundation’s recorded giving in this dataset is concentrated in three very large payments, all listed as “See Attached Statement” to a Colorado Springs recipient. The largest of those grants was $19,546,032 in 2025, following $16,278,510 in 2024 and $14,995,841 in 2023. Taken together, the pattern shows a funder making substantial, highly centralized disbursements rather than many smaller awards spread across multiple organizations. Because each recent grant is recorded under the same payee line, the dataset does not identify individual operating grantees or program areas behind those transfers. What it does show is scale: annual grants of $50,820,383 on total assets of $447,556,831, with all recorded recipient activity in Colorado. El Pomar Foundation therefore appears in this record as a large local funder whose recent grant history is dominated by a single recurring payment structure. The combination of three consecutive annual grants and the repeated Colorado Springs recipient suggests a consistent grantmaking relationship over time, even though the underlying purpose text is not disclosed in the dataset.
The clearest topic pattern in the record is concentrated institutional support. In 2025, El Pomar Foundation gave $19,546,032 to See Attached Statement in Colorado Springs for “SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT,” indicating a large payment whose program purpose is bundled in the filing. The same structure appears in 2024, when the foundation awarded $16,278,510 to the same Colorado Springs payee. In 2023, it made a $14,995,841 grant recorded in the same way. Those three entries point to a recurring funding relationship rather than isolated awards. Because the grant purposes are not broken out in the dataset, the record does not support a detailed cause-area breakdown. What can be said is that the documented activity is centered on large, strategically grouped transfers to a single recipient line.
El Pomar Foundation’s typical grant size is very large: the p25 is $15,637,176, the median is $16,278,510, and the p75 is $17,912,271. The recent record contains only three grants, all to the same recipient line, which indicates a concentrated disbursement pattern rather than broad-seeded grantmaking. The dataset shows repeat annual giving across 2023, 2024, and 2025, all under “See Attached Statement.” That recurring structure suggests a continuing relationship, but the filings here do not disclose whether the payments are operating support, capital support, or another form of grant. The foundation also reports making program-related investments.

All recorded grants in this dataset go to U.S. recipients, and every grant is tied to Colorado Springs, CO. The recipient-country distribution is 100% US, while the city-level pattern is entirely concentrated in a single Colorado Springs payee line. That means the geographic picture here is not broad and multi-state; it is entirely local in the recorded grants. The foundation’s giving is anchored in Colorado, with no other recipient states or countries appearing in the provided record.
Very concentrated. The dataset shows three grants total, all to the same Colorado Springs recipient line labeled “See Attached Statement.” The amounts are tightly clustered as well, with a median grant of $16,278,510 and a p75 of $17,912,271.
No. All three recorded grants go to a Colorado Springs, CO recipient, and the recipient-country distribution is 100% US. The dataset does not show any other state or country receiving grants.
The typical grant size is in the multi-million-dollar range: p25 is $15,637,176, median is $16,278,510, and p75 is $17,912,271. The three recent grants all sit within that band.
No application process is described in the data provided. The record only shows large annual grants recorded as “See Attached Statement” and does not include submission procedures or eligibility rules.
The recent record consists of three very large, recurring payments to a single Colorado Springs payee line. Each grant is listed as “SEE ATTACHED STATEMENT,” so the filing does not break out the underlying program purpose in the dataset.
