Description:
The Community Event Fund provides support for both community and fundraising events to nonprofit organizations providing services within the Poudre School District boundary area. Sponsorship consideration is given to single and multi-day events that create a meaningful interaction between the public and the nonprofit community.
Alignment with one of the Community Programs goals and subgoals is a requirement for funding. Applicants must demonstrate how their organization and/or event helps to advance one of our Community Programs goals and subgoals. Ideally, we look for applicants with organizational missions and event fund requests that align with a Community Programs goal and subgoal. At a minimum, event fund requests must align with a Community Programs goal and subgoal.
Community Programs acts on our commitment to the care and enrichment of our community through three main goals:
- Encourage and enable youth to thrive.
- Empower individuals and families on the path towards economic stability.
- Strengthen our vibrant community.
In addition to alignment with overall Community Programs goals, strong Community Event Fund applications will address one or more of the following priorities:
- Involve community members in nonprofit programs and services.
- Encourage philanthropy and volunteerism in Fort Collins.
- Showcase an organization’s successes and contributions within the community.
- Increase the public’s awareness and understanding of the nonprofit community.
