It isn't just Colorado: Repulican State Parties Financial Crisis. Reuters.
In Today's "Good News":
That's because the plutocrats do not want to squander their money by giving it to grifter and morons in MAGA-land.
What will probably happen is that as the state parties shrivel up (or to use a metaphor they might appreciate: become small enough to drown in the bathtub), the plutocrats will finance their own "privatized" political organizations: super PACs.
There is something to your theory, LB. Recalling in 2021; I don't remember his name without going elsewhere on line; the little known plutocrat entrepreneur gave Leonard Leo, of Federalist Society "fame;" a tax free gift of $1.6 billion.
From NYT – "The source of the money was Barre Seid, an electronics manufacturing mogul…"
And if results count – and in realpolitik, they do – then Barre Seid got a lot more bang for his bucks than anything those writing large checks to Colorado Republican Party can claim.

When do we get an update on Colorado's GOP?
It may be a while. They can't afford to make payroll so I doubt anyone there is answering the phone.
According to FEC reports, Colorado Republican Committee has raised $9231 this year, started out with $325,748 1/1/23 and now has $117,622 on hand.
Ouch.
"Ouch" is something we can agree on. I wonder how many donors gave that $9,231?
The donors are listed in the FEC report I linked to. I counted 24 of them.
Missed the link.
I went to look at the Colorado Republicans' FEC form – the monthly report covering May 1 to May 31, 2023,
but it has YTD info, beginning cash: $325,747.68 raised $66,921.38 spent: $275,046.14 ending Cash: $117,622.92
