Wild Bird and Greenwood both welcome calls from the public. CPW and State Patrol will sometimes respond to reports of injured wildlife. So will local animal control officers. Some rehab facilities have volunteers who help with capture and transport and some don't. Usually, finders need to transport injured and orphaned wildlife to rehabbers/facilities on their own.
That's where Animal Help Now comes in, compiling resources in one place, so you don't have to try to figure out who to call when, especially after hours and on weekends. The site creators work closely with both facilities and individual rehabbers and do not publish information without permission ( https://ahnow.org/resources.php#maintocgeneral). It's a fabulous resource and can be used anywhere in the country. They are working to add Canada to the database. By the way, CPW has a list of Colorado Wildlife Rehabilitation License Holders on their website, along with contact information for them. Looks like their contact information is out there whether they like it or not :( ( https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/RulesRegs/SpecialLicenses/WildlifeRehabilitation/PublicRehabListing.pdf#search=wildlife%20rehabilitators ).
