Community Resource Center
Community Resource Center (CRC) creates opportunities, tools, and strategies to develop nonprofits and community groups to strengthen Colorado. We are a mission driven nonprofit that offers a continuum of services throughout the state of Colorado. Since its founding in 1981, Community Resource Center has assisted thousands of Colorado nonprofits in rural, suburban, and urban communities – to strengthen nonprofit capacity, to address a variety of community issues, and to build the nonprofit sector statewide. Early on (1981- 84), CRC was involved in community organizing to promote social change within Denver’s inner city. By 1984, the mission evolved to include providing services for a broad range of nonprofit organizations and community groups throughout Colorado. Now three decades strong, CRC provides training and technical support to nonprofits in the areas of leadership and management, organizational development, strategic planning, board and constituency development, and fundraising to strengthen Colorado communities. CRC’s leadership within Colorado’s nonprofit sector has been recognized by several awards: the 1995 “Samaritan Institute Award” from the Colorado Ethics in Business Awards Committee, for illustrating the importance of ethical values in community work; the 2007 “Community Inclusiveness Award” from the Mile High Chapter of the American Red Cross; and most recently, the 2008 “H. Chase Stone Award for Excellence in Community” from El Pomar Foundation.
