FUNDING OF AFFINITY ORGANIZATIONS

OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS IN 2007
In addition to its grantmaking, The Colorado Trust makes other distributions to support charitable purposes. As a result of its historical relationship with both the Colorado Episcopal Foundation and the Presbytery of Denver, The Trust makes annual distributions to these organizations for charitable activities of their choice. The foundation also matches
contributions to charitable organizations made by members of the Board of Trustees and staff, and makes directed contributions to charitable organizations designated by trustees and officers of The Trust. In 2007, such contributions were made to 190 nonprofit organizations.
