    OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS IN 2005
    In addition to its grantmaking, The Colorado
    Trust makes other distributions to support
    charitable purposes. As a result of its historical
    relationship with both the Colorado Episcopal
    Foundation and the Presbytery of Denver, The
    Trust makes annual distributions to these
    organizations for charitable activities of their
    choice. The foundation also matches
    contributions to charitable organizations
    made by members of the Board of Trustees
    and staff, and makes directed contributions
    to charitable organizations designated by
    Trustees and Officers of The Trust. In 2005,
    such contributions were made to 209 nonprofit
    organizations.
