Community First Foundation will provide nonprofit entries that include the nonprofit’s name to FirstBank who then draws the winners during a live broadcast on Denver7’s Mile High Living Date to be announced.

Get engaged - $35,000 (5 prizes of $7,000 each)

Colorado Gives Day is the perfect time to engage your board, ambassadors and super donors to raise funds on your behalf. And a Super Campaign is the perfect way to spotlight their efforts.

Super Campaigns are powerful fundraising tools because they can raise visibility of your nonprofit and your supporters’ efforts. Rally donors to help you fundraise by setting up a fundraising page. Then, you gather those fundraising pages on to one super campaign page and spotlight their efforts. Once your super campaign is up and running, you’re entered in a random prize drawing of all nonprofits with at least 1 Super Campaign live between November 1 and December 7 2021. Don’t worry, you can also continue fundraising using your ColoradoGives.org page.

There are lots of fun ways to use Super Campaigns. Here are a few examples:

Example 1: Board engagement
Encourage your board members to set up individual fundraising pages, set a collective goal and gather those fundraising pages onto a Super Campaign page. It’s a great way to engage in a friendly competition to see who can raise the most. Board members share the page link with family, friends, colleagues, and your social network.

Example 2: Fan Frenzy
Ask your ambassadors to set up a fundraising page. You can gather them on one Super Campaign page and spotlight their efforts.

Example 3: Spirit Competition
We’ve got spirit yes we do…we’ve got spirit how ‘bout you? Is your school foundation fundraising on Colorado Gives Day? Encourage teachers, teams, clubs or individuals to set up a fundraising page, then gather them all onto one Super Campaign page. It’s a great way to build community and highlight your donors’ efforts!
