Nominate an organization
Know an organization that
keeps Colorado strong?
Every year, one Colorado organization receives a donated battery backup system and professional installation from Photon Brothers. Tell us about the one you think should be next.
Who can nominate
Anyone can put an organization forward — the people who run it, the people it serves, or a neighbour who sees its work up close. You do not need to be connected to the organization to nominate it.
Who is eligible
KCP is open to Colorado organizations that demonstrate community impact. We’re especially looking for organizations whose operations can be affected by planned or unplanned power outages, meaning they rely on electricity to continue their important work. Organizations do not need to be nonprofit organizations.
