Our goal this fall is to raise $1.5 million for our member nonprofits through incremental giving campaigns at Colorado workplaces and through online giving drives.  We know we can't do this alone and we are asking you to become an active part of our giving community.  The next three boxes are our call to action to you:
Believe in $1 a Day, Becoming a Giving Ambassador, and Make a Million Dollar Difference.

Believe in $1 a Day

+ To start the Community Giving Campaign this year we want you to hold a $1 bill in your hand. We're serious - reach into your pocket, find a dollar bill, and ask yourself if you believe that $1 a day can make a million dollar difference.

+ Our average gift at Community Shares really is $1 a day. It's not a slogan or abstract, fancy math - it's what really happens each year.  Your dollar, my dollar, his dollar, her dollar - it all adds up and together we come together to invest more than $1.5 million in Colorado nonprofits.

+ If you look at our end results - the $1.5 million we raise annually for nonprofit organizations or the $15 million we've raised for Colorado - you can lose perspective of how we get there.

+ At Community Shares, we never forget that we get there $1 at a time, one person at a time.  We see each of you and the difference you make.  Your dollar counts at Community Shares.

+ To kick off the 2009 campaign, hold a dollar bill in your hand and start believing in the power of incremental giving!
