Who we are:

CHEER Colorado (CCO) is a volunteer-led nonprofit organization using volunteerism and cheerleading as a catalyst for philanthropy and advocacy. 

​

We are on a mission to show up for, positively impact, and further strengthen the Colorado LGBTQIA+ Community. We envision a world where all people are - and feel - safe, seen, and celebrated as their full authentic selves. 

​

CHEER Colorado is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 82-1549081). We are also a registered charity in the State of Colorado (#20213032492).

How we show up:

Philanthropy and volunteerism are the heart and soul of CHEER Colorado. Each season (October-September) our volunteers dedicate their time and talents raising funds for our CHEER Colorado CHEER for Life Fund. 

​

The CHEER for Life fund provides annual unrestricted donations to nonprofit organizations that support the LGBTQIA+ community of Colorado. 

​

Since our inception in 2017 the CHEER for Life Fund has supported more than $116,000 in giving.
