Facts & Information

What does it mean to be a Lead Coordinator?

Serving as a Lead Coordinator is a meaningful way to support Colorado communities while growing your professional skills. Some departments have a team of volunteers rather than a single coordinator, which can be especially helpful for larger departments.

As a Lead Coordinator, you will:

• Share information about the CCC and the benefits of pledging

• Send regular updates such as weekly emails on your department’s progress

• Create fun and motivating activities like nonprofit fairs, chili cook-offs, contests, or presentations at staff meetings.

• Remind your team about key deadlines so everyone has a chance to give

• Show passion for strengthening Colorado’s communities and supporting hundreds of charities statewide

After the Campaign

Once the campaign closes, Community Shares of Colorado verifies pledges, disburses funds to charities, and ensures payroll departments begin recurring payroll donations in January.

Employees can continue to pledge nearly year-round after the official campaign ends. This is especially helpful for new hires or employees who want to increase their giving. Payroll contributions made outside the pledge drive will continue through December of that year.
