  5. Trustee Service Recognition Grants • Prior to 2009, the Board would make a grant of up to $500,000 to a Colorado nonprofit organization in recognition of 15 or more years of service to the Foundation by a Trustee. This protocol will continue to be honored for Trustees who joined the Board prior to 2009 (Ted White, Pam Beardsley, Ann Penny, Thom Williams, Don Woods, Ted Schlegel). • When implementing the new Trustee term structure which enlarged the Board and reduced term lengths, the Board decided that Trustee Service Recognition Grants may be awarded at $25,000 per year of service, at the end of a Trustee’s term. The Board will designate these special grants toward projects that fall within the Foundation’s grantmaking guidelines.
