The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) Board approved Resolution 26-04 to distribute $50,904,800 in 2026 Tier I sales and use tax revenue to five major Denver-area scientific and cultural organizations. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, Denver Art Museum, Denver Center for Performing Arts, and Denver Botanic Gardens each presented on their 2025 fund usage and proposed 2026 plans, and were found in compliance with statutory and Board reporting requirements. 5M, drawn from a total projected 2026 SCFD revenue of $86M.For vendors, this signals that these five institutions will have substantial, predictable operating and project funding in 2026 that can support capital improvements, exhibits, IT, facilities upgrades, programming, and professional services. Sellers should treat the named institutions as well-funded prospects for 2026 initiatives rather than SCFD itself as a direct procurement target for this funding stream.

Distributions are formula-based under Colorado statute and may be adjusted to match actual revenue collections.

Grant Funding

CRPC listed a Climate Pollution Reduction Grants update. No award, contract, or project scope was named in the agenda, so this is best read as grant-program tracking rather than a procurement. The signal matters because climate grant programs can feed future transportation, resiliency, and emissions-reduction projects.

Grant Funding

CRPC noted a Carbon Reduction Program call for projects on a rolling basis. That means funding is available for future submissions, but the agenda does not name any selected project or recipient. The lead is relevant because members and member jurisdictions may still be building applications or project lists for this grant stream.

Grant Funding

CRPC gave a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant update. The item suggests ongoing grant-funded transportation safety work, but the agenda does not state an award amount, selected consultant, or next procurement step. It is still useful as grant intelligence because SS4A often leads to planning, design, and implementation work once funding moves forward.
