PARTNERSHIPS & 
2020-22 GRANT PROGRAM 

After implementing project grants to organizations and individuals between 2019 and 2022 and achieving positive results from those investments, Take Note Colorado has made the decision to suspend the Grant Program. 

In order to better expand the reach and impact of Take Note’s funding and fulfill the organization’s mission, regional Hub Partnerships will be developed moving forward.  

In 2024, Hub Partnerships are being launched with Colorado State University (CSU) and Boys & Girls Clubs in Colorado.  

• Colorado State University (CSU) – Spur Campus in Denver and Sterling Extension Office 

• Boys & Girls Clubs in Colorado – Eight clubs across the state (Southern Ute, Alamosa/San Luis Valley, Black Canyon, Weld County, Pueblo, Durango/La Plata, Platte Canyon/High Rockies, NW CO-Steamboat/Craig) 

Take Note will be working with the Hub partners and Music Will (formerly Little Kids Rock), which is already active in enhancing music education programs within Colorado schools, to engage with local communities and create enhanced music education programs.

Take Note is very proud of the past Grant Program recipients for the work they have done, and continue to do, to provide access to music education for Colorado youth. There have been amazing outcomes from the 2019-2022 investment in more than 35 organizations and individuals through four Grant Program allocation rounds. See the full list of past Grant Recipients here. 

Take Note remains deeply committed to its mission of providing culturally relevant, student-centered musical instruments and instruction to Colorado youth (Grades K‑12) who lack access.
