Statewide Signature Initiatives

The America 250 - Colorado 150 Commission will create opportunities for everyone in Colorado to participate in the Sesquisemiquincentennial through a variety of signature initiatives.  These initiatives will engage Coloradans from every area in our state by creating memorable public experiences, commemorating our shared history, and by supporting Colorado communities.

Signature Initiatives consist of diverse projects ranging from community grants, historical activities, preservation efforts, public ceremonies, educational materials, and more. 

Signature initiatives are funded by our generous donors. Contact Commission staff at katie.roach@state.co.us for information on how you can support these efforts.
