Background Statement
Colorado Veterans Project stemmed from the Army ROTC student organization, Cadet Community Leadership Association. The organization filed for a 501(c)(7) status from the IRS in order to impact a larger audience.
Since 2008, the organization hosted the first Denver Veterans Day Run.
The expansion to a 501(c)(3) charitable organization was initiated to take on more projects, specifically: the Denver Veterans Day Parade and the Denver Veterans Day Festival.
Since our inception in January of 2014, Colorado Veterans Project has aligned with 100+ Veterans organizations and works alongside the Mayor's office to host the official Veterans Day activities for the City of Denver.
