What can we do with $1 a Day?What can we do with $1 a day?
When you hold a dollar bill in your hand, do you see a million dollar difference? With an average donation of less than $1 a day, Community Shares and our workplace giving donors, like you, annually invest $1.5 million in Colorado nonprofits. A paycheck contribution of $1 a day - $5 each work week - adds up to a $260 annual donation to the nonprofits and causes you care about most.

Click here and take a few minutes to find out what our members can do with $1 a day. When we say "every dollar makes a difference" it's more than a campaign slogan-it's the Community Shares promise.

Please look for Community Shares at your workplace meetings and come say hello. We're happy to be your partner in philanthropy.

Best Regards,

Your friends at Community Shares

Giving Campaign Poll:
Win $25 for the Community Shares member of your choice

For a chance to win a $25 donation to the Community Shares nonprofit organization of your choice we're asking: How are you going to help the community giving campaign?

In setting our goal for the 2010-2011 giving campaign, we assessed the commitment of our worksite partners, strong support of our donors, and the essential work of our family of nonprofits and decided to raise the bar.  Community Shares has set an audacious goal to increase donations by 10% this giving campaign and raise more than $1.65 million for local nonprofits!  We know we can have a record-setting year because of community shareholders like you!

There are a variety of ways that you can help us reach our bold goal of $1.65 million for local nonprofits. We asked a few Community Shares staff members to see how they are going to help reach this year's goal.

Erin is taking her belief in $1 a day to all Coloradans, "Making a financial investment in my community is important to me. I get a lot of satisfaction knowing that I gave more with $1 a day than I could have with a one-time donation."

Jason is talking about his causes with those around him, "When I support a cause I'm vocal about my investment with my friends and family. I think of myself as an ambassador for the nonprofits I believe in."

Kristi is complementing her gifts by volunteering, "When I offer my time I get to see the small victories happening everyday for my causes. I like to interact with the nonprofits I support to know more about the impact of my gift."


Which staffer are you most like? How are you going to help? Take our poll and win!


As thanks for participating, on October 10th we will draw a name at random and make a $25 donation to the Community Shares nonprofit member of their choice.  During your fall workplace giving campaign, don't forget that there are lots of ways you can help!
