Thank you for your interest in the 2017 Ent Credit Union “Youth Endowment Series” (YES) grant
Program, supporting non-profit organizations benefiting children in the Denver region of Colorado including
the city of Denver and surrounding counties.
Ent is a member-owned financial cooperative with more than 260,000 members and more than $4.4 billion
in assets. We are the largest credit union in Colorado, with a corporate commitment to service and to
address both the financial and human needs of the entire community.
Since 2000, Ent’s YES Grants have helped to address some of the specific needs in the community. You and other area non-profit (501(c)(3)) organizations serving area children - are invited to apply for a 2017
YES Grant. Please complete and submit the accompanying application, along with any additional
information or materials you consider helpful, no later than February 15, 2017.
An Ent employee panel will review all submissions and select agencies to receive grants of up to $5,000
toward either relevant mission support or special projects for this year. We plan to announce the selected
agencies by April 2017.
Please Note: Organizations or agencies that received a major grant (i.e., $2,500 or more) through the
Youth Endowment Series for two successive years are not eligible for major grant consideration in the third
year in order to positively impact the greatest number of area young people and agencies. (Agencies not
eligible for a major grant will be considered for a minor grant, which is typically $1,000.)
Please direct any questions about the YES Grant program or application process to Kay Warren at
(719) 550-6660.
We look forward to hearing from you and reviewing your proposal.
Sincerely,
Barbara J. Winter
Executive Vice President
