THE FEDERATION IS REGISTERED WITH COLORADO GIVES, WHICH IS LEVERAGEDCOLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO RAISE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COLORADO PUBLIC CHARITIES.4.

FOR THE PERIOD 2021 - 2025, 61% OF THE FEDERATION'S SUPPORT CAME FROM NBCE. NBCE HAS COMMITTED TO DONATE A PORTION OF THE EXAMINATION FEES TO THE SUPPORT OF THE FEDERATION UNDER A MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENT.
