About the Colorado Association of Funders

The Colorado Association of Funders (CAF) began with a few representatives from local foundations who recognized the value in sharing expertise, skills and experiences. CAF now serves as the voice of philanthropy in Colorado.

For membership information, please visit the "How to Join" area of this website.

The association has approximately 80 member organizations that include foundations, corporate giving programs and other types of grantmakers. Collectively, CAF members account for almost three-quarters of the annual giving activity of Colorado foundations.

The association provides educational and networking opportunities for funders and seeks to strengthen connections between grantmakers and grantseekers. The association works to communicate the value of philanthropy to policymakers, community leaders and the media. It also serves as an information resource about organized philanthropy for potential and current donors and the general public.

The Colorado Association of Funders was incorporated and received its nonprofit status in 2003.

CAF is a member of the Forum of the Regional Association of Grantmakers. CAF's 2008 Annual Report provides more information about the organization, its programs and benefits.
