The Center for Nonprofit Excellence promotes the effectiveness of the nonprofit sector through leadership and resource development, advocacy and collaboration.
Description:
In Colorado Springs and the surrounding community, over 1,800 nonprofits work day-to-day to better the quality of life, not only for individuals, but for the community as a whole. Human services, education, youth development, arts, environment, animal protection - each of these critical areas represent the overall health of our community. The Center endeavors to provide each the support and resources they need to flourish.

- The Volunteer Center (www.volunteerpikespeak.org)allows nonprofits to list their community volunteer opportunities and provides a resource to track volunteer hours as well as means to match up potential volunteers with opportunities.
Events are important to the nonprofit sector for advocating the importance of nonprofits and celebrating our successes. Nonprofit Day in March and Volunteer Day in May are key events witin our community to provide education, support and recognition to nonprofits and those who support their work.
