Share your Nonprofit Newsflash! The NoCo Foundation wants to shire a spotlight on the incredible impact nonprofits are making every day in our communities. From heartwarming success stories to innovative solutions, Nonprofit Newsflash will celebrate the heroes who are changing lives, one act of kindness at a time. Nonprofit Newsflash isn’t just about news—it’s about a community united for a better tomorrow.

If you are a 501(c)(3) organization that serves Northern and Eastern Colorado residents, please submit recent stories of impact through Nonprofit Newsflash. We may post these stories on our social media channels, our website and, possibly, create a larger story from your submission for our newsletter!

Guidelines

  • Focus on an achievement or current story that shows your impact on our region.
    • Examples include grant funding awards, programs or services that were grant funded, how your programs have impacted the community, etc.
  • Share post-event success stories.
    • Examples include funds raised and what they are for, what your event accomplished, and who benefits from your event.
  • Submit engaging photos that compliment your story.

DON’T:

  • Announce or advertise upcoming events.
  • Announce money raised unless you also share what it’s supporting.
  • Announce changes to your organization’s Board positions or its staff.

Fictional Example

Instead of: NoCo Foundation raised $200k at its annual event.
We want: NoCo Foundation’s annual event raised enough money to provide 15 families with housing for the next year.
