Daniels Fund

Established by cable television pioneer Bill Daniels, the Daniels Fund is a private charitable foundation dedicated to positively impacting American life, with particular focus on Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Through its Big Bets signature funding initiatives, the Daniels Fund is addressing some of America’s biggest challenges, including access to quality education, homelessness, participation in sports for underprivileged youth, and the expansion of civics education. The Fund also provides up to full-ride scholarships for highly motivated young Americans through its Daniels Scholarship Program. 

Reflecting its deep commitment to strengthening civic literacy among the next generation of young Americans, the Daniels Fund joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation as a founding partner of the National Civics Bee®, investing approximately $9 million to bring the competition to communities nationwide.
