About City Give

In 2019, the City established City Give(External link) to provide a transparent, reliable pathway for residents to support services, missions, and programs that may fall outside the budget, but are well-positioned for private funding.

Many layers of best-practice philanthropic guidelines ensure such charitable giving is not a political vehicle or beyond the reach and transparency of public oversight. Most importantly, charitable gifts must reflect the priorities and needs of the City of Fort Collins and align with City Plans and the City’s strategic objectives.

City Give partnership examples include such projects as The Hand That Feeds(External link), Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado(External link), and the Community Center for Creativity at the historic Carnegie Library.
