Community Shares connects Coloradans to the causes and charities they care about most.

Welcome to Community Shares of Colorado.  Founded in 1986, Community Shares is a nonprofit federation that raises funds for over 110 Colorado charities through 150 workplace giving campaigns reaching 200,000 potential donors each year.  Workplace giving is an easy and efficient way for people to support the Colorado charities they care about most. Community Shares raised over $1.57 million in pledges for our member agencies in 2006-2007.  This success is a testament to the shared interest in maintaining a diverse, vital and vibrant sense of community within this state.
