Application and Instructions

The Community Integration Initiative is offering the opportunity for organizations and community groups in the Aspen to Parachute region to apply for small grants - max. $500 - to help fund projects that will achieve the Initiative’s goal of Communication. The purpose of the Mini Grants is to encourage activities and events that bring together and improve the communication between the receiving and immigrant communities.
