  16. What We Do

  17. Market Opportunity - Position DOUGLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (DCCF) Is the only central, county-wide resource to highlight needs in Douglas County • working to identify and inspire local donors • supporting the needs of local nonprofit organizations and • matching donors with effective local nonprofits to improve the quality of life for everyone living in Douglas County.

  18. Market Opportunity – DCCF Assets • Strong, committed and well-connected Board of Directors with deep ties across Douglas County representing businesses, government agencies and nonprofits • Corporate relations, investment and communications committees comprised of local experts • Well-established programs, including Douglas County Gives, a coalition of established local nonprofits and the Give Back Fund, a vehicle to provide direct financial support to nonprofit organizations that are located in – and providing services in – Douglas County

  19. Market Opportunity - Needs • Douglas County is the 6th wealthiest county* in the nation and the second wealthiest county west of the Mississippi River. However, local donors in the county have not been inspired to support local nonprofit organizations sufficiently to address the county’s pressing needs. (*Forbes July 2017) • Douglas County residents sent 60% of their Colorado Gives Day donations to organizations outside of Douglas County. • In 2016, nonprofits received $579,266, an increase of nearly 17% over 2015. In 2017, Douglas County nonprofits received $1,909,67, more than double the amount received in 2016. • In 2016 – DCCF also saw a 53% increase in donations and a 133% increase in the number of donors. • Philanthropists may perceive that Douglas County does not have the same level of community needs of those of its surrounding counties. • Unfortunately, Douglas County has serious, persistent, and increasing needs, including those for mental health treatment, senior support, environmental and open space protection and historic preservation.

  20. Market Opportunity- Needs • Douglas County has unparalleled open spaces. These require support to be maintained and enhanced to meet the needs of future generations. • There are thousands of veterans, and people with physical and mental disabilities in the County, as well as environmental and land use challenges. • In the Douglas County School system, there are over 900 students in grades pre K-12 who are registered as homeless (and probably many more who are hidden), including seniors in each of the public high schools in the county. • In 2013, 3.2% of the Douglas County population (10,000 people) lived below the federal poverty level (FPL) of $23,624, to support a family of four. In 2014, 4% of the population lived below the FPL. 10.5% of Douglas County residents - nearly 33,000 people - lived below 2 times the poverty level - $48,016, to support a family of four. To serve these families and others, there are at least 10 food banks in Douglas County. • By 2030 it is estimated that one in four residents of Douglas County will be age 60 or older.
