Dear Friends,

Thank you for investing and believing in our work at

Community Shares. We are thrilled to celebrate 30 years

of inspired philanthropy and more than $30 million raised

by everyday philanthropists throughout our community.

In 1986, the seeds of Community Shares were planted

by eight local, grassroots organizations working together

for fairness, equity, and social change. Community

Shares was founded to invite everyone to be an everyday

philanthropist by expanding choice in giving and ensuring

that individuals had the opportunity to see themselves

reflected in their workplace giving options.

30 years later, these seeds have grown roots into a steady

foundation of community support; reaching new heights

and maturing into an interconnected canopy of work that

is the Community Shares of today. Every day, we work

to meaningfully connect businesses and individuals with

local, grassroots nonprofits; encouraging businesses to

give alongside their employees while empowering all to

support the charities and causes they care about most.

We are proud to partner with more than 120 businesses

across the state to provide funding to our 115 member

nonprofits and additional charities across the state by

bringing workplace giving to more than a quarter million

Coloradans every year.

We believe that when nonprofits, business partners,

and generous individuals come together to invest in the

community where we live, work, and play, an energy

is born that drives change that is not incremental, but

change that is exponential.

The impact we make together is strong, enduring, and

growing. Our first campaign in 1986 raised just over

$3,000. In our 2016-2017 campaign year, we will raise

more than $4 million.

Every day, we celebrate the generosity of our community

partners and our workplace donors who give with us –

but we also celebrate an idea. We celebrate a shared

value and belief that inspiring philanthropy and

empowering individuals to find their voice through

their giving while ensuring that our community has the

opportunity to give for social change – that this work is

within itself worth supporting.

We are honored to be the steward of these dollars, big

and small. We believe that every gift is meaningful and

important – not only the intention of each donor, but also

the impact that each dollar has on our community through

our member nonprofits. We are proud to be your chosen

partner in philanthropy.

Thank you for connecting with Community Shares and for

giving because you believe in the importance and value

of our work. By supporting Community Shares, you are

empowering a growing community of givers and nonprofits

working to make Colorado the vibrant, welcoming, and

inclusive place we know it to be.

IN PARTNERSHIP,

Erin Atwell, CEO and Stephen Meswarb, Board President

VES COMMUNITY GIVING CAMPAIGN

The annual Community Giving

Campaign is the cornerstone of

our work and primary service to

member nonprofit organizations

and Colorado’s “everyday”

philanthropists. With an average

donor gift of less than $1 per day,

Community Shares raised and

managed more than $3 million

for nonprofit organizations in the

2015-2016 Community Giving

Campaign. We reach an annual

audience of more than 220,000

employees in more than 120

workplace giving campaigns. We

educate and inspire Coloradans

to connect to the causes and

charities they care about most.

BUILDING COMMUNITY PROGRAM

The Building Community Program

leverages Community Shares’

relationships with charities,

donors, and businesses to

increase community participation,

education, volunteerism, and

philanthropy across the state. We

participate in community initiatives,

boards, and commissions

including: Colorado Collaborative

for Nonprofits, Colorado

Association of Funders, Colorado

Funders for Inclusiveness and

Equity, Association of Fundraising

Professionals, Colorado Planned

Giving Roundtable, Community

Shares USA, and Colorado

Nonprofit Association’s Leadership

Advisory Committee.

3NONPROFIT SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

The Nonprofit Sustainability Program is our key to

strengthening the nonprofit sector and creating

sustainable, mission-focused organizations that

can best utilize the funds we raise. Community

Shares provides multiple access points to resources,

connections, and financial assistance for our local,

grassroots nonprofits. Without our support, many

of our members are unable to afford or access the

same quality capacity-building resources that larger

nonprofits obtain.

College Track

WE CONNECT COLORADANS TO THE CHARITIES AND CAUSES THEY CARE ABOUT MOST

Since our inception in 1986, Community Shares of Colorado has been a leader in community-based philanthropy. Our commitment to inclusiveness and equity extends to our qualifications for nonprofit membership in our community giving fund.

Community Shares’ current members vote annually to add qualified nonprofit organizations to our family of member agencies. In an effort to promote shared

progress, no member organizations may have conflicting missions and all members voluntarily choose to support the ideals of our eight program areas.

All Community Shares member agencies are active in our efforts to build a more inclusive Colorado. Community Shares represents only nonprofit organizations that respect and welcome all Coloradans in their services, volunteer opportunities, and leadership.

4Community Shares was founded in 1986 to broaden the types of charities and causes included in workplace giving campaigns. We introduced new focus areas to high profile giving campaigns and encouraged investment in local grassroots nonprofits.

Annually we partner with with hundreds of Colorado businesses and tens of thousands of individual donors giving at work. Community Shares is a valued collaborator in promoting more inclusive corporate philanthropy in Colorado. Thanks to the initiative and ingenuity of our corporate partners, more Coloradans see themselves in their workplace giving options.

Community Shares partners with more than 120 Colorado businesses each year to offer workplace giving campaigns. Employees are able to give a small amount from each paycheck to the charities and causes they care about most. The support of our workplace partners enables Community Shares to collect nearly $3 million each year with an average paycheck contribution of less than $1 a day.

The following list includes individuals, corporations, and foundations that financially supported Community Shares of Colorado, the Shares Fund, or Partnership for Colorado between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016. We honor the privacy of our donors and want to both acknowledge and thank our supporters who choose to remain anonymous. If we inadvertently neglected to recognize your gift, we apologize. Please contact our office to report our error.

Community Shares of Colorado receives the majority of its revenue from two sources: annual givers and earned revenue. The majority of donors listed on this page make annual donations to Community Shares through workplace giving campaigns or recurring monthly donations. Unlike many foundations or giving funds, Community Shares does not receive the majority of its revenue from a handful of major donors. Instead, we work diligently throughout the year to engage our community of “everyday philanthropists” in incremental giving campaigns. We are committed to building community from the ground up and

welcoming all who wish to give. THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS DONORS!
