How Can You Help Us
What Our Donators Say
Martin Doe
CEO
“CBCEC opened doors I didn’t even know existed. Before joining the program, I had passion but no pathway. Now I understand the civic landscape, I have mentors who believe in me, and I’m preparing to apply for a city advisory board. This program truly shifts what’s possible for Black leadership in Colorado.”
Martin Doe
CEO
“As a young Black leader, I never felt like my voice mattered in policy conversations—until CBCEC. They gave me tools, confidence, and a statewide network that listens. Now I’m organizing in my school district and speaking up with boldness.”
Communications Leader
Manager
“The Regional Equity Summit was one of the most powerful gatherings I’ve ever attended. Seeing so many Black leaders from across the state in one room—learning, planning, strategizing—was transformational. It reminded me that we are not alone in this work.”
Sara Doe
Manager
“CBCEC’s technical assistance helped us create stronger financial systems, improve our strategic planning, and rethink how we engage our community. The micro-grant we received filled a critical funding gap and allowed us to expand our outreach by 200%.”
