Which sectors dominate colorado nonprofit activity?

The IRS NTEE (National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities) classification breaks nonprofit activity into 26 major groups. Education, Human Services, and Health typically dominate by both count and aggregate revenue in most US states; the exact distribution for Colorado is shown on this page.

How do I verify a colorado nonprofit before issuing a grant?

Check the IRS Auto-Revocation List AND IRS Publication 78. These are different feeds that answer different questions. Givalgo Discover cross-references both on every profile and surfaces a free due-diligence summary card.

Are donations to colorado nonprofits tax-deductible?
