Finding and navigating state grant opportunities in Colorado just got simpler. Join the Communities Lead Communities Thrive (CLCT) Coalition for the launch of its newly improved Colorado State Grant Database for Nonprofits—a free, user-friendly web application designed to help organizations across the state connect with funding opportunities from Colorado state agencies.
Nonprofit leaders, grant professionals, and program staff are encouraged to attend to learn how this new tool can streamline grant prospecting and strengthen funding strategies statewide.
This session will be led by Marco Dorado, CLCT’s Managing Director, who brings more than a decade of experience in public policy, economic development, and nonprofit leadership. Marco previously served as Deputy Policy Director at the National Redistricting Foundation and Affiliates, where he led the organization’s redistricting reform policy portfolio. He also worked with the National Development Council supporting Washington State small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, led the Urban Leader Fellowship’s 2018 Denver cohort, and partnered with the Latino Leadership Institute to advance Latino leadership across Colorado.
Marco holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Master’s in Public Administration with a focus on Social Policy from the University of Washington’s Evans School of Public Policy and Governance.
