Nonprofit after nonprofit stepped forward to help citizens and businesses alike, offering emergency relief such as food, clothing, shelter and money. From the Community Foundation Serving Boulder County to the Foothills United Way, from the Longmont Community Foundation to Community Food Share, nonprofits stepped forward to provide assistance where it was needed. (And many continue to do so.) The nonprofit sector also has been a conduit for individuals and businesses to donate to worthy causes aimed at flood relieve. Disasters such as the 2013 floods and forest fires of prior years help illustrate the importance of this sector. Yet with that important role come challenges, as demand for services PUBLISHERS balloons. Nonprofits NOTEBOOK are always in need of Christopher Wood volunteers, expertise and funds.

At the same time, they faced a shifting fundraising landscape as the public migrates toward the Internet and social media for information about charitable causes and monetary giving. The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County recently released its biennial Trends Report, tracking information such as residents’ access to housing, education, the arts and other research regarding quality of life in the county, said Josie Heath, executive director of the foundation. Colorado grew older and more diverse, according to the Trends Report, and Boulder County poverty is on the rise with one in seven residents now living below the poverty line. In addition to research, The Community Foundation does leadership work, encouraging a culture of giving and is a major grant maker. “We’ve given out more that $55 million to nonprofits in our 21 years,” Heath said. The Community Foundation focuses on nonprofits in areas such as health and human services, the environment, education and the arts. The recent flooding prompted people to come forward. “People have come to us to establish individual funds for flood relief,” Heath said. Natural disasters spark additional needs within the community, too – something the Emergency Family Assistance Association has seen. EFAA helps families, seniors and people with disabilities meet basic needs, said Marissa Hallo Tafura, associate director of marketing and development for EFAA. It serves Boulder and Broomfield counties and significantly stepped up its assistance during the recent flood. “We had case workers at the disaster assistance centers ... and hired a temporary case Boulder County Business Report GIVING GUIDE 2014 worker to provide specialized attention for families from the flood,” Hallo Tafura said. EFAA opened transitional housing – furnished apartments in Louisville – for affected families, and provided money or vouchers for some flood-incurred expenses, she said. While the post-flood outpouring of donations has been tremendous, Hallo Tafura said, EFAA still must serve families impacted by the rising tide of poverty in the area. “If people are going to give to a disaster, we hope it won’t change what they would normally give to others,” she said. So far that hasn’t been the case. “We just had our celebration gala ... and we set a record,” Hallo Tafura said, noting that $214,000 was raised this year largely through business sponsorship led by Boulder Brands. Diversity in Colorado increased by 5 percent since 2000, according to the Trends Report, with 30 percent of Coloradans people of color. For Colorado immigrants, a smooth transition into the culture fosters success. Boulder-based Intercambio trains volunteers to teach English and other life skills to immigrants, said Lee Shainis, its executive director and co-founder. The nonprofit serves more than 1,000 immigrants from 60 nations, using around 500 volunteers. Attracting and retaining volunteers is essential. “We always need more volunteers,” Shainis said. The majority of volunteers come to Intercambio through word of mouth, with advertising, print and radio media reach- We’re not much different than where we were a year ago in terms of individual giving, but it seems like grant opportunities have moved away from the arts. BILL OBERMEIER executive director, The Dairy Center for the Arts ing others. The organization reaches out through other venues, too, including speaking at area religious institutions, clubs, and at school and other events. They’re exploring advertising on buses, too. Reaching potential donors has changed, as well. “I think that donors are becoming more engaged and more savvy,” Shainis said. “Nonprofits are walking that fine line between being visible ... without being annoying.” Brian Conly, executive director of Broomfield-based nonprofit Bal Swan Children’s Centers, approaches donors differently, too, using Facebook, Twitter, email and other social media marketing more often. 9 “It used to be if you got an article in the paper a couple times a year that was great,” Conly said. Now some donors expect regular social media updates and contact. Last year Bal Swan offered donors a website giving options for their annual fundraiser and received nearly 50 percent of its donations online, something that’s changed significantly in the past five years, Conly said. Many people still donate through traditional avenues, prompting many nonprofits to meet donors on multiple fronts rather than dropping old ways to make room for the new. That’s true when fundraising for the arts, too. Boulder boasts a high concentration of artists, according to the Trends Report, but art fundraising is notoriously tricky, said Bill Obermeier, executive director of The Dairy Center for the Arts. “We’re not much different than where we were a year ago in terms of individual giving, but it seems like grant opportunities have moved away from the arts,” Obermeier said. A strong art community offers a good return on investment by boosting creativity and attracting and retaining residents, he said, and people attending arts events tend to spend more money at local businesses than do other visitors. Boulder County donors look generous by absolute dollar amount, Heath said, giving about 4 percent of their income to charity. It’s a bit deceiving, though, as the national average is 4.7 percent. “It means,” Heath said, “that we shortchange the nonprofits here when we don’t give at the level of others.” Dancers from One Big Yes Productions perform at the Boulder-based Dairy Center for the Arts.

For nonprofit’s new CEO, it’s about building community BY MICHELLE VENUS [email protected] LAFAYETTE – Coming on board as new president and chief executive of a nonprofit organization is challenging enough. Then, less than six months into the gig, add September’s monumental floods, which devastated wide swaths of Boulder County, and you have an idea of what Doug Yeiser’s job looks like. It’s a tough one. Still, it’s one that the new captain of Foothills United Way tackles head on – and does so with the energy and drive that is often paired with commitment to community service. Yeiser came to Foothills, which serves Boulder and Broomfield counties, in April from United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County in Texas, where he was the vice president in charge of strategic markets. Working with United Way is what he’s done his entire 25-year career. “I’m starting to think community service is a career path,” he said with a chuckle. After he graduated from Baylor University with degrees in psychology and political science, Yeiser, 49, worked with United Ways in Stamford, Connecticut, and Manhattan, serving the entire New York metropolitan area. Then he headed to Tulsa to head funding activities there. Then came Virginia-based United Way Worldwide, to build a relationship program that connects individual United Ways to Fortune 500 Boulder County Business Report 13 GIVING GUIDE 2014 companies across the globe. Now he’s here in Colorado. Colorado feels a lot like coming home. Yeiser spent childhood years living in the Golden area and his family has a home near Durango. “Colorado is near and dear to my heart,” he said. When the opportunity at Foothills presented itself, “it was too good to pass up.” Yeiser rarely sits at his desk in the Foothills United Way offices in Lafayette. Instead, he’s out in the community, learning firsthand what the issues are in the different Boulder County communities and working with local officials and organizations to pinpoint solutions and mobilize the resources to carry them out. Responding to the floods and providing assistance and resources for long-term relief is on Yeiser’s front burner. “On Sept. 12, when the floodwaters came in and people saw how serious this was, we set up the Flood Fund,” he said. Atop his list of priorities was to reach out to corporations, community leaders and individuals to jumpstart the fund. “These were all newly formed relationships,” said Yeiser, “but we called out to these partners and asked them to create a single fund that we all could rally around and point to as a resource.” For the past six weeks, the partners have been meeting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to evaluate needs and identify the best ways to invest the contributions that have poured into the fund and respond to YEISER RARELY SITS AT HIS DESK in the Foothills United Way offices in Lafayette. Instead, he’s out in the community, learning firsthand what the issues are in the different Boulder County communities and working with local officials and organizations to pinpoint solutions and mobilize the resources to carry them out. Boulder County Business Report applications for monetary relief. So far, $3.2 million has been donated from corporations and individuals, with $1 million already distributed to community nonprofits that help with direct-impact assistance and immediate recovery needs. But that doesn’t mean the team at Foothills United Way has moved other initiatives to the back burner. Already committed to supporting impact areas such as education, financial stability, health and basic needs, the 16-member staff continues to address issues surrounding them. Using the Flood Fund as a guinea pig, Yeiser, along with other partners, is looking to apply a collective-impact model for future community investment. In concept, collective impact is very different from how community services have been delivered for the past century. Instead of applying for grants from many small, individual funding sources, community service agencies would have a single source to work with. The collective-impact model reverses the old way of doing work. Rather than spread funding thinly across the community, it identifies the greatest needs and concentrates the funds by joining forces with many other funders to create stronger, more collaborative initiatives that actually can make significant changes. Nonprofit services organizations apply for grants that support the strategies developed by the collective impact team. “Here’s how that could look,” said Yeiser. “We can take a high school with an at-risk population and we identify that there are perhaps health issues or early drop-out issues. We then pull together community services that could provide dental care for these kids, maybe on-site counseling, and extend those services to their families. But really, concentrate those services in a finite area and make sure we’re flooding the market with the services people need.” Input from constituents is important. Yeiser has seen successful results when communities have been asked what their needs are. That is followed by collaboration with nonprofit providers as well as citizens to provide solutions that create more sustainable neighborhoods, where people will live, raise their families and build community. For Yeiser, building community is what makes his job and the services Foothills United Way provides meaningful. 14 GIVING GUIDE 2014 Imagine! 1400 Dixon Ave Lafayette, CO 80026 303-665-7789 www.imaginecolorado.org Number of Employees: 528 Operating Budget: $31 million Year Established: 1963 1963 - Colorado House Bill #121, providing for a pilot program relating to community centers for mentally r* and seriously handicapped persons, is passed. Boulder is chosen to administer the program, and the Boulder County Interagency and Citizens Council on Mental R* is formed. Ruth Wood is named Executive Director. 100 individuals are served. 1997 - The Developmental Disabilities Center’s Out & About program is formed, providing community-based services within a therapeutic framework in response to the requests of community members with disabilities and family members who care for those with disabilities.

Foundation). Our goal is to help people aspire to, and achieve, a fulfilling life of new possibilities. Imagine! was established in 1963 by a group of Boulder County parents who refused to accept the limited options available for their children with developmental disabilities. They envisioned a world where their children would have the same opportunities as any other child. For the past 50 years, Imagine! has used that vision as its foundation. Imagine!’s guiding philosophy is that all individuals, regardless of ability or disability, have talents and strengths that make them vital members of their communities. When it first opened its doors 50 years ago, Imagine! served 100 individuals. Today, it serves almost 2,600 individuals and their families in Boulder and Broomfield counties. *Editor’s Note: Much has changed since Imagine! began its journey 50 years ago, including the language that we use to describe people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Though we deeply believe in the use of People First language today, it was unheard of all those years ago. In the context of this article you will find that we have made some modifications to the language used. The words “retarded” and “retardation” are completely unacceptable today and have been replaced in the text by the use of “r*”. 1970 - The Boulder County Board for Mental R* serves 140 individuals. 1973 - Boulder County Board for Mental R* moves from the old county hospital building to the newly built Mental Health and Mental R* and Sundquist Rehabilitation Center on Iris and Broadway and serves 180 individuals. 1974 - The Boulder County Board for Mental R* is renamed The Boulder County Board for Developmental Disabilities. 1975 - The Boulder County Board for Developmental Disabilities begins providing Early Intervention services and serves 250 people overall. 1976 - Don Coloroso becomes Executive Director of The Boulder County Board for Developmental Disabilities. 1980 - The Boulder County Board for Developmental Disabilities serves 420 individuals. 1983 - John Taylor becomes Executive Director of the Boulder County Board for Developmental Disabilities. 1984 - The Boulder County Board for Developmental Disabilities is renamed The Developmental Disabilities Center. An Adult Day Services program is established, forming the foundation of what is to become CORE/ Labor Source. 1985 - The Developmental Disabilities Center serves 600 individuals. 1989 - The Developmental Disabilities Center opens the Red Balloon Daycare Center, the first local day care that integrates children with and without developmental disabilities. 1990 - The Developmental Disabilities Center serves 750 individuals. 1992 - The Developmental Disabilities Center’s Early Intervention service program is renamed Dayspring. 1995 - The Developmental Disabilities Center serves 900 individuals. 1999 - The Developmental Disabilities Center moves from Boulder to Lafayette. The Developmental Disabilities Center serves 1,100 individuals. 2001 - The Developmental Disabilities Center’s residential program is renamed Innovations. The new Developmental Disabilities Foundation (later renamed the Imagine! Foundation) has a very successful first year, raising more than $175,000.00 in 2001-02. 2002 - The Developmental Disabilities Center runs a very successful mill levy campaign in Boulder County, which increases the stability of services for people who live in Boulder County. The Developmental Disabilities Center is renamed Imagine!. 2003 - Imagine! Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) is created. 2005 - Imagine! engages in negotiations with the Mental Health Center to be the Medicaid contract entity for people with developmental disabilities who are dually diagnosed. Imagine! serves more than 1,800 individuals. 2008 - Mark Emery becomes Executive Director of Imagine!. Imagine! breaks ground on its first SmartHome, the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome in Boulder. 2009 - Imagine! breaks ground on its second SmartHome, the Charles Family SmartHome in Longmont. Imagine! pilots “The Companion Home Model,” services to individuals (adults) living in their own homes or the homes of their family members. 2010 - Imagine! serves 2,600 individuals. 2013 - Imagine! celebrates its 50th Anniversary. Boulder County Business Report 15 GIVING GUIDE 2014 Mission stateMent service area The mission of Imagine! is to create and offer innovative supports to people of all ages with cognitive, developmental, physical, and health related needs so they may live fulfilling lives of independence and quality in their homes and communities. Imagine! was established in 1963 as a private, not-for-profit organization and as the first community-centered board (CCB) in Colorado. A CCB is a local area’s single point of entry into local, state, and federally funded programs for people with developmental disabilities in a community. Imagine! is currently one of 20 CCBs in Colorado. In addition to serving as a state CCB, Imagine! also provides services designed to incorporate people with developmental, cognitive, and physical challenges into the fabric of their communities. Services include educational and therapeutic services, job training and placement, therapeutic recreation activities, opportunities for community living, behavioral health services, technology solutions, and support for families. GivinG opportunities Imagine! is grateful to our generous community for supporting so many of Imagine!’s programs and services over the years.

Bigger facility in Louisville helps meet bigger need BY VALERIE GLEATON [email protected] LOUISVILLE – With holidays around the corner, food is on the brain: family feasts, Thanksgiving dinner, holiday parties and treats. But for many people, just getting enough to eat on a daily basis is a struggle. That’s why for the past 32 years, Community Food Share has provided food assistance in Boulder and Broomfield counties. With a new headquarters and warehouse in Louisville, the nonprofit is poised to feed more people than ever. “Our primary mission is to make sure no one in our community goes hungry,” said Jim Baldwin, chief executive of Community Food Share. “Unfortunately, there is a segment of our population who are in need of additional food assistance.” It might not be the segment you think. Al- though homeless and unemployed individuals make up a small percentage of those receiving assistance, Baldwin said, the vast majority are working families with low incomes. According to the most recent census data, approximately 56,000 individuals in the area live below 130 percent of the poverty line – the same metric used to qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly called food stamps) and the free-lunch program. “That’s like a family of four making $30,000 or less a year,” Baldwin said. “After paying rent, utilities and other bills, they just don’t have enough resources to put food on the table.” Community Food Share distributes food though a network of 48 nonprofit agencies in Boulder and Broomfield counties, including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, emergency assistance programs, churches, schools and centers that serve the mentally ill, disabled citizens, at-risk youth and lowincome working families. Although some food banks charge agencies a handling fee to deliver food, CFS does not. “That means we have to raise a little more money,” Baldwin said. “But they’re basically the safety net of our community, and we’re here to support them.” The nonprofit also offers two direct-service programs: Elder Share, which serves the area’s low-income senior population, and Feeding Families, which serves families that have a child on the free lunch program within the Boulder Valley or St. Vrain Valley school districts. CFS gets its food from a variety of sources. TO DONATE time, food or money, visit communityfoodshare.org. Boulder County Business Report 17 GIVING GUIDE 2014 About 20 percent comes from Feeding America, The Nation’s Food Bank Network, through which the organization receives food from corporate donors such as Kraft and Kellogg’s. Food also is donated by local companies, including the area’s Walmart superstores, Whole Foods, King Soopers, Safeway, Munson Farms and WhiteWave Foods. CFS also distributes U.S. Department of Agriculture food through the Emergency Food Assistance Program. Food drives such as the upcoming Let’s Bag Hunger (Nov. 17-27 in Boulder) and Hunger Hurts the Whole Community (April in Longmont) get the community involved, and financial donations round things out by allowing CFS to purchase food when supplies run low and to fund operations. CFS employs 20 paid staffers and uses three large refrigerated trucks to deliver food to distribution agencies and pick-up donations from food suppliers. The organization also works with approximately 2,500 volunteers, who log more than 36,000 volunteer hours every year. “It’s a real testament to the kind of folks we have in our community,” Baldwin said. That community also showed up to help when CFS recognized that it needed a larger building. “We were simply out of space JONATHAN CASTNER Community Food Share has moved into a building in Louisville which, at 68,000 square feet, is more than triple the size of its former building in Niwot. in our old facility,” Baldwin said. “We couldn’t be as organized as we wanted, there was no place to meet with people, we didn’t have room for more volunteers, and parking was a problem.” Baldwin and his team started researching what they wanted in a new location and launched a capital campaign to start raising money for the move in 2010. Last year CFS took out a $3.5 million loan to purchase its new facility at 650 S. Taylor Ave. in Louisville. Then something amazing happened. “A generous donor offered JONATHAN CASTNER Kimberly Bryant, who works for Mental Health Partners of Boulder County, picks up some food for families in need at Community Food Share. Boulder County Business Report us a $2.5 million gift to pay off the loan if we could pay off the remaining $1 million by the end of the year, which we did with support from the community,” Baldwin said. Renovations began in May and CFS moved into its new building – which at 68,000 square feet is more than triple the size of its former building in Niwot – on Aug. 1. That was not a moment too soon because September’s flooding drove many residents from their homes, leaving them with little access to food. “If the flood had hit when we were still in the other facility, we would not have been able to step up like we did,” Baldwin said. Because of its new, larger space, CFS was able to accept 380,000 more pounds of food in the six weeks after the flood than it took in during the same period the year before., which it used to provide assistance to flood victims through disaster centers and agencies in the affected areas. Baldwin is quick to point out, however, that need doesn’t end when the waters recede. “As the holidays approach, we’ll continue to serve not just flood victims but our normal operations as well.” 18 GIVING GUIDE 2014 Longmont community foundation 636 Coffman Street, Suite 203 Longmont CO 80501 Phone: 303-678-6555 www.longmontfoundation.org Email: [email protected] Facebook – Longmont Community Foundation Twitter – Longmontfdtn Text “LCFCommunity” to 22828 to join our email list GOALS To build and maintain the Community Endowment –a permanent funding source that helps provide financial support to a variety of nonprofit organizations and programs.

Group maps out vision for more outdoor access BY JEFF THOMAS [email protected] BOULDER – Bet on the first six outdoor recreation companies to take quick advantage of a unique opportunity to contribute to trail use across Boulder County this year. “We do have six places on our map for company logos, no advertising, just logos, at $1,000 apiece,” said Suzanne Webel, vice president of the Boulder Area Trails Coalition. The coalition, with considerable effort, put together the most comprehensive map of trails available in Boulder County and is just about to put out the third edition. BATCO’s goal is to represent the spectrum of non-motorized trail use across the county and aid in making trail availability and use a reality for as many county residents as possible. The map is by far the most visible fundraising mechanism employed by this nonprofit – every county trail user should have one – but the nonprofit 501(c)3 organization also can take direct, tax-deductible gifts as well. “It took me over 100 maps to get a comBoulder County Business Report GIVING GUIDE 2014 23 BATCO HAS NO PAID STAFF and extremely limited administrative costs, so pretty much everything donated to this nonprofit organization goes into area trails. TO DONATE to the Boulder Area Trails Coalition, visit www.bouldertrails.org or contact Webel at 303-485-2162. Boulder County Business Report prehensive map (in the first edition started in 1996,” Webel said. Her background in geology and love of maps came in considerably handy during a multi-year effort to stitch together the first map, which will be updated for release early next year. “Our county is very fragmented when it comes to trails,” she said. “You go from Rocky Mountain National Park to small cities with their own trails, and none of them had coordinated their regional trail management. If you want to get from the national forest to the national park – they might show the trails but they didn’t show the big picture.” Other intricacies, such as trail limitation – who could use them and when, for instance – often are left out. More than 20,000 copies of the first editions of the map have sold, with nearly every dime of those proceeds going back into aiding trail development, or the actual cost of producing the maps. The maps sell for about $10 a pop, and are available at a wide range of outdoor recreation shops and other retail establishments. BATCO has no paid staff and extremely limited administrative costs, so pretty much everything donated to this nonprofit organization goes into area trails. That may include capital costs to help fix flood-damaged trails this year. Enlisting that sort of funding is difficult for public agencies, but it is often the umbrella nature of the organization – representing interests from equestrian users to trail runners and dog owners – that often helps public agencies most. “I think they’ve done a good job of trying to collect the different trail users into one approach – all the various components of trails users,” said Ron Stewart, director of Boulder County Open Space. “We really appreciate the help they’ve been.” Representing interests ranging from mountain bikers to trail runners, dog walkers and horse riders may seem like a heavy burden of collaboration, but the group has seen a great deal of success in creating that consensus, especially in helping projects such as the Trail Around Boulder move forward. “It would only take 34 miles of trail to create the circle around Boulder, and we only need six or seven more miles to fill in the gaps between the existing trails,” Webel said. “More funding could allow us to help City of Boulder Open Space to complete the trails – if it (a connection between trails) costs $60,000, and we could offer $30,000, maybe we could get it done.” TAB is only one aspect of the trails around the county in which BATCO participates, but it is important to the group because it represents the spectrum of trail users the organization seeks to serve and could be a high-visibility project both in terms of local usage and national acclaim. Past BATCO president Peter Bakwin, a celebrated trail runner and ultra-marathoner who grew up in Boulder, said it brings back a vision that the city first used to initialize open space purchases in the 1970s – a “greenbelt” that everyone could enjoy. “Now we have the greenbelt, and in a sense it completes the program to have a continuous trail that lets people explore the whole, amazing area,” Bakwin said. “It covers all the main environments of our area – foothills, agricultural fields, rolling prairies, creekside areas.” However, he added, “this vision gets bogged down in the interminable management plans and trail study-area plans. The city is years and years behind the schedule it set for itself as recently as 2005.” For those people whose finances might not allow for a donation to the group this year, current president David Blankinship said volunteers always are welcome, especially volunteers interested in public policy. BATCO does coordinate volunteer “handson” efforts, such as flood repair work at Walker Ranch on Nov. 9, but Blankinship said the group also needs people who can attend some of the multitude of meetings that go on around the county. “There are just too many meetings for us to currently attend,” he said. “We’re always looking for people who really want to get involved. There are many good opportunities for people to really make a difference here.” 24 ADVISED OR DESIGNATED FUND A fund held by a community foundation where the donor may recommend eligible charitable recipients for grants.
