History of Nonprofits in Colorado
We asked 20 community leaders to help us tell the long and impressive history of nonprofits in Colorado. Through a partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS and the efforts of Emmy-award winning producer Michael Spencer, we’ve developed a few short videos featuring many of our colleagues in the nonprofit and private sector.

Providers Resource Clearinghouse
Providers' Resource Clearinghouse (PRC) was opened in 1993 by a group of community leaders from the business, faith and nonprofit sectors who wanted to bridge the gap between struggling human-service providers and businesses seeking to serve the community through in-kind giving. PRC accepts donations from corporations and individuals of new and used office and household furnishings plus new office and household supplies, and finds new life for the items by recycling or redistributing them to other nonprofits and those they serve for a small fee. For more information please contact them at (303) 962-2270 or visit their web site at http://www.prccolorado.org/
