1. The role of the Secretary of State

The Secretary of State is the officer responsible for administering the Colorado Charitable Solicitations Act. The Secretary provides forms, instructions, FAQs, and training, examines applications, issues registration numbers; provides online access to disclosure statements filed by registrants; publishes the Annual Report on Charitable Solicitations; and investigates allegations of wrongdoing in charities.

Organizations and individuals subject to the Act’s registration requirement e-file all required documents directly on the Secretary of State’s website, and once program staff approve the filing, the information is made available for public inspection.
