Our Mission

BUILDING ECONOMIC STABILITY
THROUGHOUT COLORADO'S DISABILITY COMMUNITY
Our history

CDEI Started in 2007 as the Denver Real Economic Impact Tour, a part of the
national Real Economic Impact Tour.  With a strong group of dedicated
members, our coalition decided that we had the resources to turn this city
focused effort into a statewide coalition by the end of 2008.

This year, in addition to our Real Economic Impact Tour, CDEI will be working
on the Deaf Tax Pilot Project.  A collaborative effort between Deaftax.com, CDEI
and the National Disability Institute that allows the Denver Deaf Community to
access real-time VITA tax preparation via the Internet and a video phone.
