Colorado Nonprofit Legal Services Initiative
In early 2026, CLC launched the Colorado Nonprofit Legal Services Initiative, an ambitious program to build a pro bono legal safety net for high-need, mission-driven nonprofit organizations. CLC has a long history of advising nonprofits, having hosted 25 legal clinics for nonprofits, including the Non-Profit Legal Audit Clinic for the last 10 years.
2025 Foundation Giving Report
El Pomar Foundation‘s 2025 Foundation Giving in Colorado report is based on a dataset created in collaboration with the Community Resource Center (CRC). CRC collects grant data annually through data requests to community and private foundations and publicly available IRS Form 990 filings.
Funding is categorized into Arts & Culture, Civic & Community, Education, Health, or Human Services. If a project description is provided, it is used to code the grant category. Otherwise, the category is determined by the mission of the grant recipient organization.
