About the Torch Grants Program
The Torch Grants program is an El Pomar Institute for Innovation & Commercialization (EPIIC) initiative modeled on St. Louis, MO's hugely successful Arch Grants program.
Each Torch Grant includes a non-equity cash grant of $45,000 to ventures that have been selected by panels of judges. Recipients are required to establish their headquarters in Colorado Springs for at least one year following the distribution of funds. The Torch Grants only invests in ventures within the sports/outdoors, health innovation, and human performance industry cluster.
