about us

CNA’s Mission:  The Colorado Nonprofit Association strengthens Colorado nonprofits through education, connection, and advocacy.

For 40 years, the Colorado Nonprofit Association has been the statewide champion for Colorado’s nonprofit sector.

Founded on the belief that nonprofits are stronger when they work together, CNA connects leaders, strengthens organizations, and amplifies the collective voice of nonprofits across Colorado. What began as a small group of nonprofit leaders sharing resources and addressing common challenges has grown into a statewide community dedicated to building a stronger, more resilient nonprofit sector.

Today, nonprofits are at the heart of thriving communities—advancing health, opportunity, belonging, economic mobility, and civic engagement throughout our state. As organizations navigate increasing complexity and growing community needs, CNA provides the connections, resources, learning opportunities, and advocacy leadership that help nonprofits thrive.

We are proud of what Colorado’s nonprofit community has built together over the past four decades, and we remain focused on what comes next: strengthening nonprofits so they can continue strengthening Colorado.
