About the CADP Foundation and CADP
Coloradans for Alternatives to the Death
Penalty (CADP)
is actually comprised of two separate, yet
affiliated, corporate entities.
What are the Two Entities?
These two separate entities are:
Although both entities are affiliated, it
is necessary for CADP to have two separate
organizations in order to do a broad
range of work to establish alternatives to
the death penalty. This Web site collectively
refers to the two organizations under the
name "CADP."
What are the Differences?
Although
there is some overlap in the work done by
each organization, certain activities that
CADP does to establish alternatives to the
death penalty must be done by one organization
and not the other. This is primarily in the
area of lobbying. Coloradans for Alternatives
to the Death Penalty engages in legislative
lobbying. As an organization that is eligible
to receive contributions that are tax-deductible
by the contributor, federal law limits the
extent to which the Foundation may engage
in lobbying activities. Therefore, most of
the lobbying activity done by CADP and discussed
throughout this Web site is done by Coloradans
for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. By
contrast, most of CADP's educational and
communications efforts described throughout
this Web site are done by the charitable
Foundation.
Which Contributions are Tax Deductible?
You can make a contribution to
Coloradans for Alternatives to the Death
Penalty, the Coloradans for Alternatives
to the Death Penalty Foundation, or both.
A contribution to either organization will
be used to support its work to establish
alternatives to the death penalty. However,
each organization will only use the funds
contributed directly to it to carry out the
specific activities it conducts as part of
the overall CADP mission. Both organizations
welcome, need, and appreciate your donations.
