Colorado’s foundations have a grand tradition of supporting causes that benefit people throughout the state. More than a century of history can be traced through the formation of 1,700 foundations that collectively work to improve the quality of life for Coloradans. The stories in this publication aim to help all of us better understand how foundations have been – and continue to be – a valuable resource throughout Colorado.

In both jobs & GDP, nonprofits are a force for good in our communities well beyond their core mission areas. As major contributors to Colorado's economy, nonprofits and their leaders are critical to community decision-making.
