Fiscal Sponsor Guidelines If you are planning to use a fiscal sponsor to receive grants, we encourage you to review these guidelines and template for a fiscal sponsor agreement. AI can be a helpful tool to assist with grant writing and it is the applicant’s choice whether or not to use it. However, using AI should complement your expertise and perspective, not replace them entirely.
Using AI can compromise your authentic voice and personal response to application questions. Your humanity, deep knowledge of and passion for the work you do ultimately contribute to a more compelling and unique application. Your story is best told through your own words.
Bonfils-Stanton Foundation does not use AI to review applications. I have accessibility requests or questions – who do I contact? Program director, Chrissy Deal, welcomes your questions at chrissy@bonfils-stanton.

How many nonprofit leaders can I nominate? Individuals can nominate up to three candidates. Should the candidate know I nominated them?
At the close of the nomination period, the Foundation will notify eligible candidates of their nomination and share a copy of each nomination and endorsement received on their behalf. Nominees, outside of self-nominations, will be able to provide additional information they feel may be relevant to their candidacy. Responses will be entirely optional and not required in order to advance in the selection process.
For this reason, nominators may wish to notify the candidate in advance of recommending them for the fellowship. Can I nominate someone I’ve nominated in the past? The fellowship is quite competitive, so it is not unusual for individuals to be nominated several times over the years.
Can I nominate a leader of a nonprofit organization that operates with a fiscal sponsor? The leader I have in mind lives outside of the Denver Metro area. Are they eligible for the fellowship?
Eligible candidates must be leading a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, or Jefferson county. Bonfils-Stanton Foundation’s leadership decided to focus solely on arts and culture and leadership for deeper impact in 2012.
In recent years, the Foundation has taken steps to gradually align the Livingston Fellowship Program’s geographic area more closely with that of our grantmaking portfolio which focuses on the city of Denver. If I have been nominated, when can candidates expect to hear from Bonfils-Stanton about if they will be advancing in the process? Nominees will be updated of their status in the selection process via email by early November 2022.
The Board of Trustees of the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation will approve the 2023 class of Livingston Fellows in early 2023. Where can I learn more about the program? Visit our website for additional information about the history of the Livingston Fellowship program, stories from fellows and their fellowship activities.
I have more general questions – should I contact Chrissy? Absolutely! If you can’t find what you’re looking for on our website, please reach out to Chrissy for more information.
