Colorado Charity Solicitation Registrations and Authorizations

Colorado data from the Department of State details authorized solicitation and registration for non-profit organizations. The dataset includes fields such as organization name, registrant type, authorization status, and federal employer identification number. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of registrantType (e.g., Charity, Paid Solicitor) across entities in Colorado.
• Identify organizations with authorizedSoliciting status set to 'true' to map permitted fundraising activity.
• Link entities across systems using the unique entityId or fein (Federal Employer Identification Number).
• Filter records by stateAbbreviation to isolate Colorado-based registrants from potential multi-state filings.

Strengths

• Includes key identifiers like entityId and fein for entity matching.
• Provides a clear boolean field (authorizedSoliciting) for permission status.
• Data is maintained by the authoritative state agency, the Colorado Department of State.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of coverage.
• Recent modifications to the data transformation process may introduce inconsistencies.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single state (Colorado), reducing generalizability.
