2025 State of the Sector

CRC’s ninth annual State of the Sector will celebrate our sector’s work in 2024 and highlight important challenges facing Colorado nonprofits and the leaders finding effective solutions. We are thrilled to partner with Colorado Nonprofit Association and Philanthropy Colorado this year!

Join us for a hybrid virtual and in-person session with innovators and change-makers from across the State. We will host an expert panel of sector leaders and recognize community trailblazers, followed by an in-person reception at CRC’s offices in Denver, CO.

Additionally, we are hosting watch parties in rural communities that will be announced soon!
