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!
