The Edmund T & Eleanor Quick Foundation makes a small number of fairly large, Colorado-focused grants concentrated on family and youth wellbeing — especially maternal support and services for at-risk youth. They fund local nonprofits providing direct program support and occasionally route substantial dollars through donor-advised or charitable fund vehicles. Repeat giving to Birthline suggests a sustained interest in perinatal and parenting support in their community.
The Edmund T & Eleanor Quick Foundation shows a clear pattern of Colorado-centered support for family wellbeing, maternal services, and help for at-risk youth. In the recent grants list, Birthline Inc of Colorado appears in multiple years, with awards of $25,000 in 2024, $20,250 in 2023, and $10,000 in 2025, pointing to sustained support for perinatal and parenting services. The foundation also gave $20,000 in 2025 to Savio House, a residential treatment and support organization serving youth, alongside $20,000 to Prairie Family Center for program support. Those awards sit within a broader mix of direct-service grants to local nonprofits addressing counseling, housing, food access, and community support. A larger $125,000 grant to Schwab Charitable Fund stands out in the recent record as a substantial pass-through award, while the rest of the portfolio largely consists of smaller, program-level gifts to Colorado organizations. The overall picture is of a private foundation making targeted grants to local service providers rather than a wide national spread.
Maternal and perinatal support is one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s giving. Birthline Inc of Colorado received $25,000 in 2024, $20,250 in 2023, and another $10,000 in 2025 for program support. Family support is another consistent area: Prairie Family Center received $20,000 in 2025, and La Plata Family Centers received $5,000 in 2023. The foundation also supports youth-serving and mental health-oriented programs. Savio House received $20,000 in 2025, National Alliance on Mental Illness Co received $7,500 in 2025, and Rise Against Suicide received $5,000 in 2024. Beyond that, grants reached community response and basic-needs organizations, including Denver Food Rescue, Society of St Vincent de Paul for Marshall Fire support, and Coal Creek Meals on Wheels.
The foundation’s typical grant size is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile, even though a few larger awards appear in the record. The pattern suggests a small number of larger anchor grants alongside many standard program grants. Birthline appears across multiple years, while most other recipients show up once, indicating some recurring support but not a broad multi-year roster. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. A notable portion of giving also flows through donor-advised or charitable fund channels, including Schwab Charitable Fund.

Concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants with repeat support to select local nonprofits; mix of direct program support and a significant one-off gift routed through a donor-advised/charitable fund.
Notable grantees: Birthline Inc of Colorado, Savio House, Prairie Family Center (PFC), Schwab Charitable Fund
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly Colorado-based: 95% of grants go to recipients in Colorado, and the top state by grant count is CO. Recipient cities include Denver, Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, Littleton, Englewood, Fort Collins, Durango, Burlington, Gypsum, Carbondale, Ridgeway, Fort Morgan, Brighton, and Clifton. Outside Colorado, the recent record includes only a small number of grants, such as Schwab Charitable Fund in San Francisco, California, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Pasadena, California.
The foundation supports Colorado nonprofits working in maternal and perinatal support, family counseling and support, youth treatment and wellbeing, mental health, food assistance, disaster response, and seasonal or general program support. Recent grantees include local service providers, community centers, and nonprofit intermediaries.
The typical grant size is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile. The recent record also includes larger awards such as $20,000, $25,000, and $125,000, but $5,000 is the standard amount across the distribution provided.
Yes. Colorado receives 95% of the foundation’s grants, and Colorado is also the top state by grant count. The recent grantee list includes many Colorado cities, with Denver appearing repeatedly alongside Boulder, Lafayette, Longmont, Littleton, Englewood, and others.
Yes. Birthline Inc of Colorado appears in three different years: $20,250 in 2023, $25,000 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2025. That repeat pattern suggests the foundation sometimes renews support for organizations it already funds.
Most gifts go directly to operating nonprofits, but the record also includes a $125,000 grant to Schwab Charitable Fund in 2024. That indicates the foundation sometimes uses donor-advised or charitable fund channels in addition to direct nonprofit grants.
