The Colorado Statewide Internet Portal
Authority (SIPA) has awarded more than $113,000 in micro-grant
funding to 22 local governments across the state of Colorado. Each
year, SIPA provides grant opportunities to help Colorado
governments implement new technologies and digital government
services. A large portion of the grant funding is made possible by
SIPA’s self-funded contract with Colorado Interactive (CI).
Governments across Colorado using SIPA/CI services save or avoid
approximately $6 million in costs each year.
This year, SIPA received 58 applications from state agencies,
counties, municipalities, institutions of higher education, and
special districts. The micro-grant funds are intended for
governments to make more citizen-facing information and services
available online.
"SIPA is proud to give back to Colorado governments and
communities. These grants represent SIPA's commitment to our
partners, citizens, and the state of Colorado," said Jack
Arrowsmith, SIPA’s Executive Director.
The grant award ceremony will be held at the Ralph L. Carr
Judicial Center in Denver following SIPA’s 7th Annual User
Conference on April 18, 2017.

of Englewood, City of La Junta, City of Louisville, City of
Montrose, Denver Public Library, Morgan County, Governor’s Office
