Colorado Partners of the Americas

Fundraise

The Colorado Chapter of Partners of the Americas (COPoA) is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) international development nonprofit based in Denver and Greeley, Colorado. Founded in 1964 and inspired by President John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress, COPoA made history as the first U.S.-Brazil partnership through its connection with the former Minas Gerais Chapter. Today, COPoA fosters educational and cultural exchange across the Americas through programs spanning the environment, dance, music, English teaching, and youth development, and through collaborations with chapters and affiliates in Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, and the U.S. Since adopting a hybrid model in 2017, the chapter has welcomed members worldwide and works to strengthen civic engagement, education, language acquisition, leadership, and social entrepreneurship throughout the hemisphere.
