9-1-1COLORADO FOUNDATION

In Connection with its dissolution, the Foundation granted, contributed or donated the balance in its accounts to the Colorado 9-1-1 Resource Center. Inc., a 501(c)(3) corporation. It's Mission Statement is: "The Colorado 9-1-1 Resource Center is committed to the improvement and support of 9-1-1 emergency communications throughout the state of Colorado. The Resource Center will accomplish this goal by acting as a focal point of information for 9-1-1 Authority Boards and Public Safety Answering Points throughout the state, facilitating discussion and collaboration among Colorado's 9-1-1 stakeholders, and by conducting research and other activities in the service of the 9-1-1 professionals of Colorado." Prior to dissolution of the 9-1-1 Colorado Foundation, it was generally viewed that the Resource Center was "inward-facing" in that it served the 9-1-1 Authorities and Emergency Call Centers, particularly those serving rural areas and which had more limited resources than those serving more urbanized areas, and the 9-1-1 Colorado Foundation was "outward-facing" in that it provided public education regarding 9-1-1 and ENS services. With the dissolution of the Foundation, the 9-1-1 Resource Center and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission are jointly developing an "outward-facing" website or pages to fill the public education role the Foundation used to provide. For this reason, it was particularly appropriate for the Foundation to make a grant of the balances of its accounts to the 9-1-1 Resource Center upon dissolution of the Foundation. The address of the Resource Center is: "Colorado 9-1-1 Resource Center Inc., ATTN: Daryl Branson, Suite 250, 1560 Broadway, Denver, CO 80202. (Mr. Branson is the State 9-1-1 Program Director for the State of Colorado and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission's designee to fill its seat on the Colorado 9-1-1 Resource Center's Board of Directors.)
