Grant Winners Announced!

We had over 75 nonprofit organizations apply for a financial grant this year! Denver is so lucky to have these amazing organizations who help thousands of children and youth every year. This year, the YouthBoard spent over 160 hours vetting the organizations (that's as much as having one full-time employee work for over a month!)

Without further adieu, the YouthBoard is proud to announce the winners of this year's grants (totalling $10,000)!

Two YouthRoots Letters of Recommendation

You need two adults/mentors/teachers/coaches/etc to fill out our specific letter of recommendation.

You can download it here and give it to them to fill out.

Or they can fill it out online at this link: www.youth-roots.org/recommendation-letter

Please select the option that best describes your situation:

	I have the two letters of recommendation sealed in envelopes and I will snail mail them to you at 1127 Sherman St, 80203 so that you get it by 10.11.11
	I know that my recommenders are going to fill out the letter online, or they are going to email it to you, or they are going to snail mail it to you.
	I don't know what they are going to do... hopefully they get to you!
