Dear Tier III Organizations,

The Collaborative of the SCFD invites you to join as a member! The Collaborative of the SCFD is a non-profit membership organization comprised of Tier I and Tier II art, science, and cultural organizations funded by the SCFD. Since 1994, its organizations have used a portion of their SCFD award to provide K-12 education grants to public schools and cultural programming to the Denver metro community.

The Collaborative's new pilot membership model is now open to all Tier III SCFD organizations. The Collaborative unites organizations to strengthen relationships through programs and professional networking. In essence, "to do together what we cannot do alone."

During a two-year pilot process, the Collaborative aims to establish responsive programming to support its members' needs and serve the community.

The organization will host virtual informational sessions to share more about what has been developed for new members during strategic planning and how organizations can work together.

As a member, you'll have opportunities to connect and collaborate with other SCFD-funded organizations, as well as receive other member benefits. Register for one of the virtual sessions below to learn more about becoming a part of the Collaborative community.

Friday June 7, 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.

Thursday June 13, 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.

Monday June 17, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

The membership enrollment period is open June 1 through August 1, 2024. Membership begins in September 2024. There will be another opportunity to join June 1 through August 1, 2025, for fiscal year September 2025. 

The Collaborative is excited to strengthen arts, culture and science organizations and further the work of serving residents of the SCFD. Please reach out to Jannett Matusiak with any questions. Thank you!
