Greetings!
On February 14th, CRC launched our new website which offers quick and easy access to essential information for our nonprofit partners. This endeavor is part of CRC's ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and availability of information to nonprofit professionals and volunteers throughout Colorado, helping them do their good work better.
The new CRCAmerica.org includes the following site enhancements:
- Improved Structure and Navigation: The site has been redesigned for an improved spacious layout, including intuitive navigation and a more standardized menu structure.
- Eight Rural Philanthropy Days (RPD): Statewide stakeholders and program participants can now access RPD information on regional activities and conferences through one main portal: HERE. Use this link to explore regional demographic information, digital databases of foundation giving, as well as enroll in RPD and other professional development opportunities.
- Improved Navigation of the Online Grants Guide: The Grants Guide received a face lift for the new site and we are working to add users features and improve search functions in 2014!
- Online Resource Library: CRC has partnered with 4Good to feature an online library of free and fee based resources intended to support the good work of nonprofits. 4Good is designed to strengthen nonprofit organizations and social enterprises by connecting like-minded professionals and a wealth of information from which to benefit.
We listened to the requests of our community and redesigned our site to provide a better online experience. The result is a fresh, new look with streamlined navigation and better content. A big shout out to our fabulous web designer, Sky Esser, of Good Web Works for his creativity and diligence. Also, we would like to thank our IT team members at the Red Arrow Group and Office Automation for making the transition trouble-free.
I would encourage you to check out our new site at CRCAmerica.org and let us know your feedback.
Best,

COLORADO GRANTS GUIDE
At CRC, we strive to make the Guide a valuable and effective grant research tool for Colorado nonprofits. In 2013, we surveyed subscribers and the funders featured in the Guide to ensure we are meeting the needs of the sector with our product. The results demonstrated areas for improvement and helped our staff to make those updates and revise policies accordingly. As a part of this upgrade, we updated the subscription structure. Each subscription and pricing structure is tailored to specific users. Click Here for more information about subscriptions.
Subscription updates will be effective March 1, 2014. All current Grants Guide subscribers will have until April 1, 2014 to renew their subscription at 2013 pricing. Renewing simply adds 12 months to your subscriptions expiration date.
