The Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT) and the Colorado Union of Taxpayers Foundation (CUT Foundation) serve different but complementary purposes:
The Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT) is an advocacy group focused on representing the interests of taxpayers. Its primary goal is to advocate for lower taxes, reduced regulation, and more accountable government spending.
CUT engages in lobbying, political advocacy, and public education efforts to influence policy and legislation in favor of taxpayer interests. Through these activities, CUT aims to ensure that taxpayer voices are heard and considered in government decisions.
CUT operates as a 501(c)(4) organization, which allows it to engage in political activities and advocacy. Contributions to CUT are not tax-deductible.
The CUT Foundation is dedicated to educating the public about the fiscal impact of proposed legislation and ballot issues. It aims to provide non-partisan, research-based information to help Coloradans make informed decisions.
This foundation conducts research, publishes reports, and hosts educational events to raise awareness about the effects of tax and spending policies. The foundation seeks to promote transparency and accountability in government spending.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, the CUT Foundation focuses on educational activities and is prohibited from direct political lobbying. Contributions are tax-deductible.
Many candidates and representatives have signed the CUT Pledge. They pledge to limit taxes, keep government in its’ limited role, and to protect property rights.
During each legislative session, the all-volunteer Colorado Union of Taxpayers board reviews and takes positions on Colorado legislation. CUT appreciates each legislator who represents “We the People” instead of representing special interests.
