2027 NOCO UNIFY Sustainable Funding Grant
Northern Colorado United for Youth (NOCO UNIFY) is accepting applications for its 2027 Sustainable Funding Grant. The award is a charitable, applicant-facing grant for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations whose primary mission serves youth in Larimer and/or Weld County, Colorado. It is not a government procurement or a vendor bidding process.
Funding and application window
Applications are open November 1 through December 5, 2026. The official application page sets the December 5, 2026 deadline, but does not specify a submission hour or time zone; applicants should not assume a late-night deadline. The next cohort is for 2027 funding.

Who may apply
Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, provide proof of federal tax-exempt status, have a primary organizational focus on youth in Northern Colorado (Larimer and/or Weld counties), and be financially sound. Applicants outside those counties, individuals, businesses, and schools without their own qualifying nonprofit applicant status should not assume eligibility.
Allowable uses and exclusions
Minor operating support, supplies, service-oriented materials, and events related to youth-focused nonprofit work. Not intended for capital projects, major infrastructure purchases, or endowments; those should not be described as eligible under this track. The official public guidelines do not announce a cost-sharing percentage, a general reimbursement requirement, a total annual award pool, or a full list of prohibited costs. Applicants should check the embedded official application and any funder follow-up rather than assuming those terms.
Submission and decision process
Apply using the official Sustainable Funding Grant application page. The page contains an embedded Airtable submission form. Applicants must provide a complete application; the funder says incomplete submissions are not reviewed by its Charity Review Committee. Selected beneficiaries are normally announced at the next annual meeting, generally late January or early February. The grant funding itself is delivered at the annual meeting in the year following beneficiary selection.
Review the NOCO UNIFY grant-type overview and current Sustainable Funding application instructions.

The embedded Airtable application’s underlying fields were not independently extractable; exact form-specific attachments and application hour should be checked with the funder.
