Community Shares of Colorado

Community Shares is Colorado's Community Giving Fund. We connect Coloradans to the charities and causes they care about most. We have been broadening charitable choice in workplace giving campaigns in Colorado for more than 25 years. One dollar at a time, one donor at a time, we have collected more than $22 million for local investment in Colorado nonprofits.

Giving at Work
Workplace giving has been a key element of corporate philanthropy for more than a century.  It is a low-cost and efficient way to connect your company and staff to local nonprofit organizations.  Offering a giving campaign allows employees to make a charitable gift via ongoing paycheck contributions.

Why paycheck contributions?
Spreading out your donation over the course of a year allows smaller, more manageable amounts to be taken out of your paycheck, allowing people to give more overall.  Also, the contribution is deducted automatically from each paycheck which exponentially increases the likelihood of the pledge being fulfilled.  It is an easy and convenient way for your staff to give to the charities and causes they care about most.

  • 98% of employees at companies offering workplace giving campaigns want the program continued.
  • 79% of Millennials entering the workforce want to work for a company that cares about how it impacts and contributes to society.
  • Studies show that giving through payroll contributions is 300% more effective than simply writing a check.
Mission: We connect Coloradans to the charities and causes they care about most.
