Information about CACN

Citizen Action for Colorado Nonprofits protects nonprofits' abilities to serve Colorado communities. Through research, education and mobilization, CACN represents Colorado nonprofits in legislative issues.

In 1996, Citizen Action for Colorado Nonprofits ran a successful "Don't Hurt the Helpers" campaign, fighting a proposed constitutional amendment that would have removed the property tax exemption of Colorado nonprofits.

In 2005, Citizen Action for Colorado Nonprofits campaigned for Referenda C&D, ballot initiatives which would allow Colorado to invest in the state's future by bolstering education, health care and transportation. CACN is collaborating on the Nonprofit Voice Project, led by the Colorado Nonprofit Association and Community Foundations for Colorado's Future.

Citizen Action for Colorado Nonprofits is a subsidiary of the Colorado Nonprofit Association.
