Why your gift matters

Every gift moves us toward a more connected Front Range.

Your donation directly contributes to a more resilient and vital Front Range — through Commons Sense education that opens understanding, Solidarity Suppers that deepen relationships, Neighborhood Resiliency Programs that build real preparedness, and Community Grant Rounds that put resources directly in the hands of the communities doing the most vital work.

★ How your dollar flows

Every dollar follows a clear path.

We are raising $300k–$500k over 18 months to seed the Commons.

Our floor is $300k. Our reach is $500k. What grows as we raise more is the number of paid hours our stewards can give to this work, and the size of the Commons Grant Pool we put directly into community hands.

Where the money goes — at our $300k floor

Amount Use %
$144,000 Steward labor — next 12 months, 10 hrs/week each in programs and coordination 48%
$100,401 Commons Grant Pool — directly to community projects 33%
$49,190 Programs — Solidarity Suppers, Commons Sense, Neighborhood Resiliency 16%
$6,409 Capital repaid — startup costs fronted by stewards as loans 2%
