“There’s no better way to show pride for your favorite Colorado school than a customized license plate configuration,” said Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera. “Whether you are a Buff, a Ram, a Miner, a Tiger or a Pioneer, this fall you can celebrate homecoming and support Coloradans with disabilities.”
In June the Colorado Disability Funding Committee awarded four grants for $10,000 each. One of the organizations funded was the Colorado Center for the Blind to teach youth with visual disabilities independent living skills including training on self-sufficiency, confidence, pre-employment, and STEM related activities.
The Colorado Disability Funding Committee has raised more than $80,000 in 2021 from the sales of license plate configurations and awarded $40,000 in grants.
The committee holds auctions frequently and offers grant opportunities as funding allows. Follow their activities at https://
