The Colorado Nonprofit Association has significant support from its members in challenging the lawsuit, and has filed an amicus brief detailing its concerns. CONonprofits FoodBankRockies
The Charitable Solicitations Act helps organizations like Food Bank of the Rockies collect donations.provides food for people experiencing food insecurity across Colorado and Wyoming, partnering with other food distribution organizations and giving food directly to people in need.
“The amount of money that we're spending on food has more than tripled in the last few years, so we need to fundraise more than ever,” Pulling says. “So that trust that we have with Coloradans making those gifts is incredibly important. If we had an additional challenge of eroding donor trust, that would make our work so much more challenging, and it would make our impact a lot less.”
In 2019, when Infocision attempted to renew again, Griswold denied the application for the same reason. This time, Infocision sued. Food Bank of the Rockies relies on donor trust, along with volunteer efforts from local companies that donate their time.Charities and solicitors must register with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.
“We had very little time, and having been on a bunch of boards and having run a nonprofit directly, to turn something around...it takes real time for them to go to their boards, discuss things, hash it out, and they turned it around so quickly,” says Tom Downey, director ofDowney was on the CNA board for eight years, worked for the Children’s Museum of Denver, and ran the Business and Licensing Division of the Secretary of State’s Office, so rallying around the act is important to him.
“There's a lot of layers of harm that could happen from allowing these kinds of kind of unscrupulous solicitors to just sort of barrage people with possibly fraudulent charitable solicitations,” says Lidiana Rios, another attorney who worked on the amicus brief.
