The Daniels Fund, a private charitable foundation benefitting Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming – now entering its 25th year – today announced that it has awarded more than $63 million throughout its history in grants to Utah nonprofit partners and higher education scholarships to students across the state. In 2024 alone, the Daniels Fund distributed $5 million in grants and scholarships in Utah.

“For 25 years, the Daniels Fund has been positively impacting American life – and improving millions of lives – one life at a time,” said Hanna Skandera, Daniels Fund President and CEO. “Whether it’s helping a child with developmental challenges, supporting people struggling with homelessness and addiction to seek independent, healthy lives, or making the dream of higher education come true for young people, it is an honor to steward the mission Bill Daniels gave the Daniels Fund a quarter century ago.”

Over the past 25 years, the Daniels Fund has given more than $1.2 billion in grants to nearly 6,000 nonprofit partners and scholarships to more than 5,200 students across its four-state region.

Bill Daniels was owner of the American Basketball Association Utah Stars team and established the Daniels Fund to give back to the communities that meant so much to him.

The Fund focuses the majority of its giving in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming – four states pivotal in Bill Daniels’ life. The Fund also invests in select, notable national projects that align with Bill Daniels’ values.

The Daniels Fund grants program focuses on eight funding areas originally designated by Bill Daniels at the Fund’s founding:

  • Aging
  • Amateur Sports
  • Disabilities
  • Drug & Alcohol Addiction
  • Early Childhood Education
  • Homeless and Disadvantaged
  • K-12 Education Reform
  • Youth Development

Among the Daniels Fund’s grants are several major signature programs, including the National Civics Bee, which emphasizes the importance of teaching young Americans about the basics of their government so that they become active and informed citizens. Students across Utah – and the country – have just completed essays for entry into the 2025 National Civics Bee. Each state winner earns the chance to compete in the national finals for a $100,000 prize.

Building on over 15 years of ethics education funding, the Daniels Fund is launching a national business ethics case competition in 2025 with participating teams from universities across the country.

High-school graduates from the Daniels Fund’s four state region apply for the highly selective Daniels Scholarship Program, which makes college possible for motivated, ambitious students. In addition, the Boundless Opportunity Scholarship program provides funding for non-traditional students to obtain credentials that lead to upward mobility and meaningful employment.

Daniels Fund Awards $200k to Two Denver Metro Nonprofits During Salute to Excellence Event

CrossPurpose and Teaching the Autism Community Trades (TACT) each received $100k prizes as finalists for the Daniels Fund Medal of Excellence

Two nonprofits from the Denver Metro area were honored Wednesday by the Daniels Fund as finalists for the Medal of Excellence. CrossPurpose and Teaching the Autism Community Trades (TACT) each received $100,000 during the second annual Salute to Excellence event at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

“All of us at the Daniels Fund are proud to salute the game-changing achievements of CrossPurpose and TACT,” said Hanna Skandera, Daniels Fund President and CEO. “Their commitment to excellence reflects the values that Bill Daniels expected – and exhibited. With this award, we’re confident that these two groups will be able to expand their excellent work in the Denver Metro region.”

Denver-based CrossPurpose provides opportunities to individuals to lift themselves out of poverty through job training and community relationships that allow them to expand their skills, obtain a career, and maximize their independence.

“Our model provides a path for families to move out of generational poverty and into generational wealth,” said CrossPurpose Chief Executive Officer Jason Janz. “Support from the Daniels Fund helps make our work possible and this award will enable us to promote successful outcomes for the people we serve.”

Located in Englewood, Colorado, TACT empowers people on the autism spectrum through job and skills training so these individuals can obtain a career and live a productive life.

“Having a son on the spectrum, I am personally connected to our work,” said Becky Mershon, Chief Operating Officer and Programs Director for TACT. “Not only does the autism community have an unemployment rate of over 80% but the trades are struggling to locate skilled workers. Our partnership with the Daniels Fund and this award will not only help our clients maximize their potential but will ultimately strengthen our workforce and economy.”

This year’s Salute to Excellence was headlined by the Child Development Center of Natrona County (CDC) which received the highest honor at Wednesday’s ceremony in the Daniels Fund Medal of Excellence. The nonprofit based in Casper, Wyoming, was recognized for its service to children with special needs across the Cowboy State through outpatient occupational, physical and speech therapy, as well as reading coaching, audiology services.

“This is an incredible honor and reflects the tireless dedication of our entire team,” said Alisha Rone, Executive Director of CDC. “We get to witness the incredible impact our services have on Wyoming’s children and their families each day, and to receive recognition from the Daniels Fund for that impact is truly special.”

The awards, totaling $450,000, are in addition to funding support the Daniels Fund has given to each organization over the past several years as longstanding grantees. The Daniels Fund has distributed more than $1.2 billion in grants and scholarships throughout its 25-year history.

The Child Development Center of Natrona County (CDC) was honored Wednesday by the Daniels Fund with its prestigious Medal of Excellence. CDC, based in Casper, Wyoming, received the award during the second annual Daniels Fund Salute to Excellence event at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

“This is an incredible honor and reflects the tireless dedication of our entire team,” said Alisha Rone, Executive Director of CDC. “We get to witness the incredible impact our services have on Wyoming’s children and their families each day, and to receive recognition from the Daniels Fund for that impact is truly special.”

CDC received a $250,000 award in recognition of its impact on children and families through outpatient occupational, physical and speech therapy for children with special needs, as well as reading coaching, and audiology services. Established in 1967, CDC has grown to serve more than 700 children daily from birth to age 21.

“The CDC works to ensure every child in Wyoming has the opportunity to grow, dream and thrive,” said Daniels Fund President and CEO Hanna Skandera. “The CDC’s mission, innovation, and compassionate dedication to the people they serve sets a standard of excellence that truly inspires us all.”

CDC serves children with and without special needs. Their services are free to any child with a diagnosis or signs of a developmental delay. Their team includes a staff of 120 people — including an in-house nurse practitioner and the only audiology therapist in the state of Wyoming. As the organization has grown, it has engaged the community to learn what children need and designed their services to be responsive to those needs.

Recognized alongside CDC as Salute to Excellence finalists were Denver-based CrossPurpose and Teaching the Autism Community Trades (TACT) in Englewood, Colorado. These organizations were also honored for their pioneering solutions and community impact that aligns with the Daniels Fund’s mission. They each received a $100,000 prize to advance their work.

CrossPurpose assists individuals experiencing poverty through job training and by creating community relationships that allow them to expand their skills, obtain a career and live a productive life.

Empowering individuals on the autism spectrum, TACT offers job and skills training so these individuals can obtain a career and maximize their independence.

The awards, totaling $450,000, are in addition to funding support the Daniels Fund has given to each organization over the past several years as longstanding grantees. The Daniels Fund has distributed more than $1.2 billion in grants and scholarships throughout its 25-year history.

Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day Raises More Than $3.7M to Boost Access to Youth Sports

Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day Raises More Than $3.7M to Boost Access to Youth Sports

The Daniels Fund and Project Play Colorado, in collaboration with youth sports nonprofits across the state, proudly announce the success of the inaugural Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day campaign. With more than $3.7 million raised, this initiative will support efforts across the state to increase youth participation in sports.

Throughout September, individuals, businesses and community groups across Colorado generously contributed more than $2.1 million through nearly 3,700 donations to various youth sports nonprofits. Community donations were boosted by over $1.6 million in matching funds from the Daniels Fund, Alpine Bank, The Anschutz Foundation, Colorado Health Foundation, Denver Broncos Foundation, El Pomar Foundation, Rose Community Foundation, Strohm-Link Family Foundation, The Weld Trust and other sponsors.

“We are truly overwhelmed by the incredible generosity Coloradans have shown during the Youth Sports Giving Day campaign. The outpouring of support for local sports organizations shows just how deeply our community values youth sports and believes in the importance of making them accessible to every young person,” said Hanna Skandera, president and chief executive officer, the Daniels Fund. “Thanks to individual donors and our partners, countless young athletes across the state will have opportunities to grow and thrive through the benefits of sports participation.”

Research has long highlighted the importance of youth sports in improving academic outcomes, self-esteem, mental and physical health and developing leadership abilities. Active youth are also more likely to earn higher incomes later in life. In the face of rising childhood obesity, decreasing physical activity and increasing mental health concerns among young people, sports have never been more crucial.

Despite the clear benefits, financial barriers often prevent children—especially those in income-constrained communities and communities of color—from accessing sports programs. The average cost to participate in organized sports in 2022 was $883 per year, an unaffordable amount for many families. Youth typically drop out of sports by age 11, with financially vulnerable populations and girls being disproportionately affected.

“At the YMCA of Metro Denver, we put our hearts into the inaugural Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day campaign, and our Y community came out strong, rallying behind our belief that all kids deserve to play. The funds we raised will help over 1,000 children participate in YMCA Youth Sports who may not have been able to otherwise. We’re grateful for the opportunity to join this powerful campaign alongside so many organizations from across the state, and we’re overwhelmed by the generosity of our Denver Y community,” said Breezy Bolden, president and chief executive officer, YMCA of Metro Denver. 

“Youth Sports Giving Day not only allowed Special Olympics Colorado to highlight our Unified Sports program, but it also gave us the opportunity to raise critical funds that are creating inclusion through sport, impacting more than 400,000 students,” said Megan Scremin, president and chief executive officer, Special Olympics Colorado. “Support from this campaign, along with the matching funds, will help provide the resources necessary to expand the program to more Colorado schools, ultimately giving more athletes with and without intellectual disabilities the chance to build confidence, form friendships and foster greater inclusivity for all.”

“GJ Blackout extends a heartfelt thanks to Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day for their incredible efforts in helping us raise and match essential funds for the construction of our future fieldhouse and youth development programming,” said Dean Havlik, president, GJ Blackout in Grand Junction. “We are thrilled that support from this campaign will give more kids in our community the opportunity to engage in team sports under the guidance of positive mentors and role models.”

More than 175 nonprofit organizations enrolled to participate in the 2024 inaugural event which was powered by ColoradoGives.org. Youth Sports Giving Day will return in September 2025, offering another opportunity to support and expand access to youth sports programs across the state.

About Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day

Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day is a collaborative effort between Aspen Institute’s Project Play Colorado, the Daniels Fund and hundreds of local nonprofit organizations supporting youth sports across Colorado. Through the month-long campaign, nonprofits offering organized sports for Colorado youth ages 18 and younger raised essential funds to get more kids playing sports.

With over 3,000 Daniels Scholar Alumni now graduated and in the workforce, the Daniels Scholarship has had a profound impact on thousands of aspiring college students and their families.

I don’t want people to be in the same situation I was.”

“Daniels Scholars are the next generation of leaders, making a remarkable difference in their careers and communities across the nation,” said Hanna Skandera, President & CEO of the Daniels Fund. “We are excited to continue empowering students with the opportunity to unlock their potential and achieve their educational goals.”

Recipients of the Daniels Scholarship can attend any accredited nonprofit college in the United States and have attended more than 500 colleges across all 50 states. Students choosing to attend colleges other than the Daniels Scholarship’s partner schools are eligible to receive $100,000 over four years for schools outside the four-state region and $30,000 over four years at non-partner institutions within it.

Selection criteria for the Daniels Scholarship includes – strength of character, leadership potential, commitment to serving their community, academic performance or promise, well-rounded personality and emotional maturity and stability.

Applications for the scholarship close Oct. 18, and finalists will be notified in January. The first step typically takes less than an hour to complete. Following a personal interview process, scholarship recipients are announced in late March.

The online application and additional information on the Daniels Scholarship are available at danielsfund.org/scholarships.
