About Colorado Grants
Colorado Grants is a full-service consulting firm that provides help to nonprofit
and community agencies in obtaining grant funding. Since 1997, we have
helped nonprofit and tax-exempt

2001, we have returned $143 for every dollar spent on our
services. Thinking of a hiring a grant writer? Colorado
Grants can usually develop all the proposals you need to submit at a
fraction of the cost of hiring staff.

About Jay Katz, President
I bring forward more than 15 years of experience developing grant
proposals, and 11 years of operating Grants West, the sponsor of
Colorado Grants and the Colorado Nonprofit Insider Connection. In
all cases, I develop effective, clear and quality proposals that are
routinely funded -- and frequently praised by funding sources
themselves. My aim is to develop highly competitive proposals --
and take the burden of grant writing off the shoulders of agency staff.
In addition to grant writing, I am actively involved as a volunteer
with several projects. I have won two community service awards (CHUN
Good Neighbor Award, Life on Capitol Hill's Man of the Year). I have
volunteered as a youth mentor, adult literacy tutor, neighborhood group
president, microlending consultant, and in many other
roles. I also coordinate the Denver
Spanish meetup group, organizing meetings and
events for 900+ people interested in learning Spanish. Over the years, I have written articles on grant writing
for the California Grants Guide, Colorado Grants Guide, Iowa Grants Guide
and Ohio Grants Guide. In
addition, I have presented as a guest lecturer to the University
of Colorado at Denver's
Graduate School
of Public Policy, and provided other grant writing classes.
