Purpose of the report

The Colorado Charitable Solicitations Act (“The Act”) requires charities and paid solicitors that ask for contributions in Colorado to file registration documents with the Secretary of State’s Office and requires that the Secretary of State compile and publish an annual report on charitable solicitations.

The purpose of the charities registration program and the annual report on charitable solicitations is to protect the public’s interest in making informed choices as to which charitable causes should be supported and to strengthen public trust in charities. Charitable organizations can also use the data to make informed decisions when contracting with paid solicitors.

The 2018 annual report is available as a series of downloadable Excel files. These files present summary data on charitable solicitations activity in Colorado during 2018 and list the short-term and long-term results of solicitation campaigns run by each paid solicitor.
