About COLORADO GRAND INC 3998 S MARIPOSA

The Colorado Grand® is an annual, five-day vintage car charity tour (1960 and earlier sports and racing cars) that drives roughly 1,000 miles through Colorado mountain roads and passes. Founded in 1989, the event brings together entrants and spectators to raise funds for Colorado charities and small Western Slope towns. The organization operates primarily as a fundraising/grantmaking nonprofit: proceeds from the event support a range of local causes including rural medical clinics, college scholarships for graduating seniors in host towns, CASA programs, Flight for Life, and the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation. Recent filings and public materials show the event generates roughly $1M+ annually and directs the large majority of its expenses to program grants. The Colorado Grand is a long-running, donor-facing charity with a public web presence, major corporate sponsors, and ongoing partnerships with local communities and the Colorado State Patrol to run the event safely and effectively each September.
