Starting a Nonprofit in Colorado
Colorado is a thriving hub for community based organizations. Our step by step course will help you navigate state and federal filing with confidence.

Colorado nonprofits file Articles of Incorporation online with the Secretary of State. The filing fee is $50. Organizations must also file periodic reports annually to remain in good standing.
