About Bill Daniels
Bill Daniels was a decorated fighter pilot in World War II, and went on to become one of the pioneers in the cable television industry. Throughout his lifetime he gave generously to people in need, and the organizations that serve them. Bill Daniels spent his final years carefully defining his goals for the Daniels Fund, which carries on his legacy of generosity by providing college scholarships to deserving students and grants to nonprofit organizations in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.

Daniels Fund Grants Program
Honoring the percentages for giving established by Bill Daniels, each year approximately 70% of charitable allocations are made through the Daniels Fund Grants Program in the funding areas he defined for the foundation: Aging, Alcoholism & Substance Abuse, Amateur Sports, Disabilities, Education, Homeless & Disadvantaged, and Youth Development.

Daniels Fund Scholarship Program
Bill Daniels directed that approximately 30% of charitable allocations be made through the Daniels Fund Scholarship Program, which consists of the Daniels Scholarship and the Daniels Opportunity Scholarship. Daniels Scholarships give promising students with financial need the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree.
