Mission

New Era Colorado Foundation Organizes young people to participate in the political process, develop as leaders, and find a political home.

  • New Era Colorado Foundation reinvents civic engagement for young people, mobilizing and empowering a new generation to make Colorado a better place for everyone. Through our nonpartisan voter registration and GOTV efforts, we have registered over 200,000 young people to vote. We've also advocated for change on the issues young people care about in Colorado as well as worked to gain critical protections for student loan borrowers, voter preregistration for 16 and 17 year olds, and guaranteed campus voter service centers and drop boxes."

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
