Impact of Trump’s Executive Orders

A note from the association’s president

These are unprecedented times. Over the past two weeks, executive orders have created uncertainty for nonprofits  across Colorado and the evolving federal landscape has left many organizations with pressing questions about what comes next.

In response, the Association hosted a virtual town hall last week where our members were joined by Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, representatives from U.S Senator Bennet’s and Senator Hickenlooper’s offices, Colorado’s deputy secretary of state, and our Association’s legal counsel.  Nearly 800 individuals from 68 cities and 31 counties joined the conversation where members had the opportunity to share concerns, exchange resources, and learn about best practices.

We are already planning for additional town halls in the weeks and months to come.

Attorney General Phil Weiser’s Support of Association Members

Some Colorado Nonprofits continue to face challenges with disbursement of federal funds. Such actions are not in compliance with the court orders entered by the Rhode Island and D.C. district courts. Should any Colorado nonprofit organization receive such a communication that is noncompliant with the courts’ orders, Attorney General Weiser would be grateful if your organization’s staff would alert his office.  We encourage you to provide such information to or direct any questions to Kurtis Morrison, Deputy Attorney General, at kurtis.morrison@coag.gov.  You can read the Attorney General’s letter on this subject here.
