DMAR Gives
Empowering our communities through housing stability, disaster relief and pathways to self-sufficiency one grant at a time.
Double Your Impact This October!
From October 1-30, 2025, every dollar you donate to DMAR Gives will be matched dollar-for-dollar by REcolorado—up to $15,000. That means together we can raise $30,000 to support housing-related nonprofits across the Denver Metro area.
Your generosity helps fund critical programs that provide housing stability, disaster relief, and pathways to homeownership for families in need.
Don’t miss this opportunity to make your gift go twice as far.
Applications for the Fall 2025 DMAR Gives Grant Cycle
We are currently accepting grant applications through 5:00 PM on November 7, 2025. Applications opened on October 9th and are open to Colorado-based nonprofit organizations advancing housing-related causes. Please note that an invitation to apply does not guarantee funding. Grant sizes are determined based on an organization’s needs, impact and alignment with DMAR Gives’ priorities, as well as available funds. DMAR Gives encourages a broad base of support and typically does not fund 100% of a project’s budget.
Initial grants are one year in duration, and organizations are eligible for funding every other calendar year. Grantees are required to submit a report confirming use of funds and sharing impact data.
Apply by November 7th at 5:00 PM to be considered for this cycle.
