Colorado Nonprofit Resources

Community Resource Center builds the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities through comprehensive programs that focus on resources, education, and leadership.

Our programs foster nonprofit sustainability and success, and our integrated approach includes collaboration with statewide partners to deliver appropriate and relevant resources. To that end, we provide a number of free resources to get nonprofits started off on the right foot. CRC also provides a number of live and on demand video trainings as well as personalized coaching to further the professional development of Colorado nonprofit professionals.

Grant Research

Finding the right funder that matches your nonprofit’s area of interest, geographic area, capacity, and fits into your funding cycle needs is critically important to sustain your organization. Learn how the Colorado Grants Guide and other tools can save you time and focus your energy on the funding opportunities that best meet your organization’s needs.

Grant Writing

During this critical time, nonprofits seek fund development and grant seeking training and resources now more than ever. Community Resource Center (CRC) has built a comprehensive program framework and recruited a team with a range of professional and lived experience in grant development, data systems, marketing, and research which includes staff, grant consultants, and volunteers.

Colorado Nonprofit Sector Resources

Colorado nonprofits strengthen our communities in many ways, but one crucial way is as drivers of economic growth. CRC partners with Philanthropy Colorado, Colorado Nonprofit Association, Denver Office of Nonprofit Engagement, Colorado Fiscal Institute, and El Pomar Foundation to produce several reports on the Colorado nonprofit industry and economic impact.

Civic Engagement Resources

CRC recognizes that nonprofit organizations in Colorado are navigating unchartered waters amid the reality of changing government grants, funding cuts, and economic uncertainty. Therefore, the need for quality training options around grants and diversified funding streams has never been more critical.
