Charity Partnerships Committee
The responsibilities of this committee are why Denver Gives exists. If you have some expertise in a for-profit or non-profit business discipline and want to donate your knowledge and experience to help a small local nonprofit this is the committee for you! We do an evaluation of a small local nonprofit. This evaluation goes to this committee and each individual takes their “section” of the evaluation and develops recommendations AND provides a list of resources that can be used to implement those recommendations. The group then meets again to prioritize those recommendations. Denver Gives, provided there are funds available, will distribute funds as a resource to help that nonprofit implement one or more top priority recommendation.
