Programs and Projects:
Our main programs are:
1. Community Giving Campaign We raise funds from the community to benefit the nonprofit sector. In 2006-2007, the Community Giving Campaign raised over $1.56 million!
2. The Building Community Program We are developing a new program in 2007 called My Colorado™ which will provide a vehicle for young community members (24-39 year olds) to engage in basic philanthropy, nonprofit board service, and community involvement. We also strive to connect community members to each other to discuss issues and raise awareness. We have developed a series of forums with panel discussions on local issues, created an annual volunteer day with over 20 projects by partnering with Volunteer Connection (I Volunteer! Day on April 27, 2007), coordinate hundreds of public speaking opportunities annually for our member nonprofits, fiscal management of both the Denver Employees Emergency Program (DEEP) and the Denver Employees Volunteer Organization (DEVO), and launched a public awareness campaign on the importance of giving and philanthropy.
3. The Nonprofit Sustainability Program. In addition to providing funding and public awareness opportunities, Community Shares is committed to providing technical support, training opportunities, and cost efficiency savings to our member partner nonprofits. This includes: underwriting the Executive Leadership Institute (ELI), a confidential, facilitated forum for nonprofit leaders to share best practices with each other; developing a free training seminar series taught by one of the country's premier nonprofit consultants, Richard Male; public speaking training sessions; and annual reviews of financial statements, 990s, and annual reports for some of our smaller partner member agencies.

Who's your favorite philanthropist or social justice activist & why?:
All those who are actively participating in philanthropy on whatever level they can, because as Margaret Mead said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

TWP Presents 10K Check to Local Elementary School
Posted September 24th, 2008 by treeswaterpeopleOn Saturday, September 13th I had the great honor and pleasure of presenting a large and rather beautiful check for $10,000 to Ann Alfonso, the principal of Bethke Elementary School at the new school’s dedication ceremony. This funding will initiate the installation of a 10kw photovoltaic solar electric system on the school and was the culmination of a year’s worth of work here at TWP. It is also the kickoff of a program that is sure to result in many more renewable energy installations throughout Fort Collins and Northern Colorado.

Now, when the economy is so frightening and makes us all want to batten down the hatches, is the most important time to invest in our communities. The services provided by our amazing nonprofit sector are all the more essential as things get tougher all over. A healthy nonprofit sector means a healthy community. We have to look out for each other on a local, national and global scale.

Favorite quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. Marianne Williamson
