"Cathryn Schmidt is an early childhood educator. Not a new one. A 10-year veteran.

"When school went online because of the coronavirus pandemic, many children had little or no access to reliable internet for school. By the end of this year, Comcast along with local leaders will install Wi-Fi in more than 20 locations.

"The Wi-Fi areas, called Lift Zones, will be in places like parks and recreation centers, Boys and Girls Clubs, Girls Inc. and other nonprofit and community centers. Thousands of low-income students will be able to get online, attend classes and do their homework. The sites are expected to stay open for the next three years." Read More @

"There’s never been a more important time to shop local. With the pandemic ravaging economies and weighing heavily on small businesses, purchasing a Colorado-based gift can make a huge difference for someone in your community. So this year, instead of making a tiny contribution to the wealth of Jeff Bezos, shop local and shop small.

Movie and performing theaters have an extra week t

Movie and performing theaters have an extra week to submit an online grant application to Colorado’s Office of Film, Television and Media. Grants of up to $12,500 are available. This initiative is to support rural theaters in Colorado deal with the economic effects of forced closures and capacity limitations during the pandemic.

The deadline for applications is close of business, today.

SCEDD will provide a free review to make suggestions to strengthen a theater's application. SCEDD does not select awardees.

Grant awards will be determined by the theaters' rural/remote location, proximity to other theaters, use as a multi-purpose venue (i.e., also acts as a community center, classroom, events rental venue, etc.), historic status, and overall financial need.
The state is working with local Small Business Development Centers to administer the program.

The $400k available statewide is funded by the state ($200k) and matching contributions from the Boettcher Foundation, El Pomar Foundation, Gates Family Foundation, and The Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority.

The review process will take place in December with awards being distributed by mid-January 2021. To apply, visit http://ow.ly/M7lA50CETNq.

"Child care centers are among the few Colorado businesses that have been allowed to stay open during the pandemic, yet they are a top priority as the state legislature meets this week to hand out coronavirus relief money.
"The reason is that child care connects the entire economy, according to policymakers and financial experts who are pushing legislation to give daycares and preschools up to $35,000 to stay open and $50,000 to expand." Read More @

"The Rural Theaters COVID-19 Support Initiative will provide $320-400,000 in financial assistance to remote theaters across Colorado, which constitute the heart of Main Street in so many rural communities. Grant awards will be distributed to rural theaters at
$7,500, $10,000, or $12,500 levels depending on eligibility, need, and availability of funds. These funds are made possible by a partnership between the Office of Economic Development and International Trade, the Gates Family Foundation, the Boettcher
Foundation, and the El Pomar Foundation, as well as the Colorado Educational and Cultural Facilities Authority.

This is a competitive application (not first-come, first-served) and there will likely be more eligible, deserving theaters than we are able to serve."
