You may also want to use Guidestar, an online database of tax returns for most foundations. Tax returns are required to include a listing of grants distributed by foundations, providing your organization with another tool for understanding funder giving patterns. For specific profiles of Colorado foundations, you might consider purchasing the Colorado Grants Guide (this website and Grants West, Inc. are not affiliated with the Colorado Grants guide, but we respect and admire the good work that they do).
