CNDC has also become a national leader in promoting fiscal sponsorship best practices as a founding organization of the National Network of Fiscal Sponsors.
Formed in 1999 by a group of nonprofit leaders and foundation partners, CNDC accelerates the impact of Colorado’s charitable endeavors to effect positive change. We achieve this by:
A comprehensive fiscal sponsorship model
Providing partner projects with professional back-office infrastructure and expertise
Robust back office services and professional infrastructure
A thought partnership that removes many of the initial barriers to quickly launching a financially sustainable nonprofit
A commitment to and focus on Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) as pillars of creating a stronger nonprofit ecosystem that best serves the communities and causes of our state

Our Commitment to
Ending Racial Injustice
- JUSTICE
- EQUITY
- DIVERSITY
- INCLUSION
Systemic and structural racism still affects nearly every aspect of life in America. It leads to persistent and oppressive inequities in health, education, employment, housing, and safety for communities of color, especially in the Black community. It is quite literally killing people. This is unjust, unfair, and unacceptable. Change is overdue. And it starts with each of us.
At CNDC, we will continue to support and seek out partner projects to sponsor that are fighting for social justice. With the guidance of our board and staff JEDI committee, we will also continue to learn together and make changes in our policies, processes, programming, and services to model and champion justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
