Through our Citywide Connect community outreach program, Citywide Banks and its employees are actively supporting local charity programs that impact communities across Denver and Boulder.
Encouraging Businesses to Get Engaged Locally
Due to our economic times, it's increasingly important for businesses to step up and help those in need around Denver and Boulder. Our local charities cannot depend on government resources alone. Citywide Connect aims to encourage more businesses to look at local charities for their corporate giving campaigns. We also want to encourage more business professionals to volunteer in our local community.
Employee Volunteering & Hundreds of Thousands in Donations
A large portion of Citywide Banks employees regularly lend a 'hand-up' to local nonprofits through event coordination, board leadership, and other volunteering. Employee Volunteering Spotlights are regularly published on the bank's blog. Citywide Banks is also an active financial contributor to over a 100 different charities each year.
Raise Awareness through $5,000 Quarterly Vote on Facebook
Each quarter, Citywide Banks spotlights five Front Range charities to raise awareness about their ongoing great work, needs, and corporate giving opportunities. The charities are nominated by Citywide employees. Then, during a 14-day vote on the bank's Facebook Fan Page, customers and the local community votes for the most deserving charity. The winning charity receives a $5,000 cash donation, while two runner-ups receive $500 and $250 donations. Past votes have generated more than 30,000 views and important public awareness for all the charities. Stay tuned to announcements on our Citywide Banks Blog and Facebook Fan Page for the next Charity Fan Vote.
