Building Bridges - Building Bridges has been equipping leaders with the skills they need to transform divides for more than 25 years. Based in Denver, Colorado, our work has evolved over time, from our roots in peacemaking abroad to our present focus on racial equity and intersectional liberation here at home.

Compassion & Choices - Compassion & Choices of Washington provides advocacy, counseling, and emotional support to qualified individuals who desire a peaceful, humane death.

Towards Justice - Towards Justice is nonprofit law firm that seeks to advance economic justice through impact litigation, strategic policy advocacy, and capacity building. We were founded in response to the high volume of wage theft complaints that were not being addressed in Colorado, but quickly broadened our scope to take on cases that dismantle the power imbalances that undermine the value of work and diminish worker rights.

Colorado Children's Campaign - We advocate for the development and implementation of data-driven public policies that improve child well-being in health, education and early childhood. We do this by providing Coloradans with trusted data and research on child well-being and organizing an extensive state-wide network of dedicated child advocates.

Women's Foundation of Colorado - Women are the co- or sole-breadwinners in 45 percent of Colorado households. By maximizing opportunities for all women to have access to education, job training, and career placement that is needed to secure livable wages, achieve pay equity, advance in their careers, or even start their own businesses, we strengthen the economic engines of our communities.

Rose Andom Center - The Rose Andom Center is a survivor-centered, trauma-informed collaborative that cultivates hope for individuals and families impacted by intimate partner abuse. Our vision is to foster  a community where survivors can thrive.

The Colorado Sun - is a journalist-founded, award-winning and nonprofit news outlet based in Denver that strives to cover all of Colorado so that the state community can better understand itself. With the belief that it can contribute to a more vibrant, informed and whole Colorado, the organization is committed to fact-based, in-depth and nonpartisan journalism.

The Center on Colfax - The organization aims to engage, empower, enrich, and advance the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer community of Colorado. The Center on Colfax will be a collaborative leader that positively impacts the lived experience of LGBTQ+ people in Denver and Colorado by creating inclusive programs and events, fostering connections, and leveraging the individual and collective strengths of the community.

Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition - Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition is the premier organization in Colorado advocating for disability rights. Our mission is to advocate for social justice for people with all types of disabilities (what we call a cross-disability). Members consist of people with disabilities and our non-disabled allies (coworkers, employers, family members, friends, and neighbors), all working together to support disability rights.

Chinook Fund - Chinook Fund supports grassroots organizations working on issues of social and economic justice; by pooling our collective resources, we seed groups making a positive, systemic impact to improve the quality of life for all Coloradans.

Bicycle Colorado - We envision a Colorado where riding a bicycle is always safe and convenient for everyone, where bicycling is the top choice for recreation and everyday trips, and where the benefits of bicycling are experienced and valued by all people in our state.

Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition - Founded in 1999, the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition (CCJRC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate the overuse of the criminal justice system and advance community health and safety. We are people convicted of crime, survivors of crime, and the families and allies of both. We advocate and organize for public safety strategies that are more holistic, effective and just.
