About us
Colorado Center on Law and Policy is a non-partisan, nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to the vision that every Coloradan should have what they need to succeed. Through research and policy analysis, legislative and legal advocacy and coalition building, we advocate to remove barriers that prevent Coloradans from meeting their basic needs and becoming self-sufficient.

We provide policymakers, opinion leaders, nonprofit organizations and the general public with research and education about issues of import to lower-income Coloradans; we advocate in the legislature and before executive decision makers on behalf of those issues, and we litigate them when necessary. CCLP provides: • Research and independent legal and policy analysis. • Education and civic engagement with diverse communities. • Advocacy on behalf of lower-income Coloradans. • Litigation and legal action for systemic change. OUR MISSION: The Colorado Center on Law and Policy advocates to advance the health, economic security, and wellbeing of low-income Coloradans through research, education, advocacy, and litigation.

CCLP hosted our fourth iteration of our Policy Forum series which focused on tax credits, both at the federal and state level. While many might associate tax credits with big corporate loopholes and giveaways to the rich, we centered our presentation and discussion around tax credits that empower people in our communities to benefit directly.
