About NEW ERA COLORADO FOUNDATION

New Era Colorado Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Denver that builds political power for young people across Colorado through voter registration, year‑round organizing, leadership development, and issue advocacy. The organization reports long‑term outcomes including hundreds of trained youth leaders and large-scale voter registration and turnout among young Coloradans. In recent years New Era has expanded regional organizing hubs, launched youth grantmaking through its Youth Power Fund, and supported state and local policy wins that address issues such as student debt, housing, and voting access.
