    About Energy Outreach Colorado

    Energy Outreach Colorado’s largest recent grant was $18.6 million to Xcel Energy for solar, signaling a grantmaker that uses large, targeted awards to move household energy access through utility and state systems. The foundation pairs that scale with a statewide network approach, funding agencies and public partners that deliver energy assistance, bill payment help, heating repair and replacement, and energy efficiency upgrades for low-income households and families at risk of disconnection. In the recent grants list, Colorado Energy Office received $13.9 million in 2025 for HB-1105 LEAP funding, and the Colorado Department of Human Services received $8.2 million for the same purpose. Those awards sit alongside operating support-style grants to community nonprofits that serve residents facing utility hardship. The pattern shows a funder focused on direct relief and infrastructure for energy-insecure households, with public agencies and frontline service organizations both playing a role in delivery.

    What Energy Outreach Colorado Funds

    Energy assistance is a central theme. Energy Outreach Colorado gave $8,952,573 in 2024 to Colorado Energy Office for energy assistance, and $640,953 in 2023 to Catholic Charities and Community Se for the same purpose. It also supported utility-bill relief through $417,853 in 2023 to Society of St Vincent De Paul for energy assistance. The foundation also funds household-serving agencies across Colorado. Goodwill of Colorado received $4,538,891 in 2024 for agency grants and $402,559 in 2025 for energy assistance. The Salvation Army received $2,040,669 in 2024 for agency grants. Energy system work appears as well. Energy Outreach Colorado awarded $1,305,467 in 2025 to Black Hills Energy for solar and $364,818 in 2025 to Northwest Colorado Council of Gover for NEEP.

    How Energy Outreach Colorado Gives

    Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range: p25 is $13,441, median is $30,207, and p75 is $79,822. The recent list also shows very large pass-through and programmatic awards, reflecting a structure that mixes direct service grants with restricted funding routed through public agencies and utilities. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Colorado Energy Office, Goodwill of Colorado, The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities and Community Se, Society of St Vincent De Paul, and Grand Valley Catholic Outreach. The funder is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals.
