Advocating for a More Equitable Nonprofit Ecosystem in Colorado

In 2022, the Communities Lead Communities Thrive Coalition (CLCT) was at the forefront of advocating for the passage and equitable implementation of the $35 Million Nonprofit Infrastructure (NPI) Grant Program.

CLCT remains committed to advocating for more equitable opportunities and processes for small, community-serving non-profits to access public dollars.

In 2025, CLCT’s advocacy priorities include:
– HB 25-1101 to reform the state’s procurement process, specifically to create upfront payment of grants awarded to nonprofits.
