Community
Dear Friends,
On behalf of our member agencies, board of directors, volunteers, and staff, thank you for making 2012
a milestone year for Community Shares of Colorado! We pushed ourselves to exceed expectations and
achieved just that – posting 5% campaign growth in 2012 and passing $2M in total revenue for the first
time.
However, like any small business during the economic recession, we’ve had to take a close look at our
capacity and priorities and make some smart (but tough) choices. Because we are proud to serve as
your trusted and transparent partner in philanthropy, I’d like to share some of the strategic decisions
we’ve made at Community Shares to become more effective and efficient. I’ve highlighted below six
creative strategies we’ve adopted to refine our business model relative to the external environment.
Dual bottom-line thinking
• We examined the intersection of mission fulfillment and financial sustainability to focus resources on
our most successful programs
Line by line with an open mind
• As a staff we identified cost-saving opportunities by imagining different approaches to our tasks
from big to small
New internship program
• After making the difficult decision to reduce staff size we added several new internship positions to
expand our team to ten
New earned revenue streams
• Thanks to our efficient back-end systems, we are pursuing fiscal management contracts and will
begin pledge processing and distribution for Community Shares of Cincinnati in 2013
Cost-saving collaboration
• Our move into the Colorado Collaborative for Nonprofits has resulted in cost reduction and new
partnership opportunities
Start with a “yes”
• Every obstacle has a bearable weight – our job is to figure out how many people it will take to help
us lift
I’m so proud of Community Shares’ flexibility and openness to change and growth! We are relentless
in our efforts to improve our transparency and efficiency. While we look forward to the year ahead, we
thank you for taking the time to look back on our shared accomplishment in 2012.
Thank you for choosing Community Shares as your partner in philanthropy!

2012 Annual Report
Community 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.
We’ve partnered 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.

Along with capital improvements and financial investments in Colorado, our member
nonprofits make a lasting impression on those they serve. Nonprofits invest social venture
capital in human potential. Without nonprofit organizations, who would fund aspiration,
opportunity, and possibility?

The definition of the word “philanthropist” is fairly simple: one who actively promotes
human well-being. However, when we hear the word “philanthropist” our minds often
jump to the most extreme examples; we think of black and white photos of the Vanderbilts
and Rockefellers, the names that grace our buildings, theaters and streets, and the new
generation of billion dollar givers.

2012 Annual Report
As this annual report reflects, philanthropists don’t just exist in black and white photos;
philanthropists live in bold colors in our vital and vibrant community. At Community Shares,
a philanthropist is not defined by the amount of the gift but by the inspiration that motivates
it. Community Shares’ $22,000,000 investment proves when we work together we can
make a lasting impression on Colorado.

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
