Become a Member

CIPA is built and led by its members. Joining puts you behind the work of advancing Native priorities in Colorado, and for eligible members it gives you a direct say in where we go.

Two kinds of membership

Find where you fit.

Can vote

Voting member

Citizens and descendants of federally recognized tribes who live in Colorado.

Voting members elect our board leadership and vote on our endorsements and major project decisions.

No vote

Associate member

Anyone who wants to stand with this work, whether or not you are Native.

Associate members take part in meetings and events, help fund and grow the organization, and connect us with their networks. They hold every part of membership except the vote.

Every member can take part in our meetings and attend our events for free.
