What is the Playbook?

Tools, tips, and downloadable assets to help you share your support and encourage more support of Community Foundation Boulder County’s All In, Boulder County campaign.

All In, Boulder County

Our community needs you now more than ever. 51% of Boulder County nonprofits have had to cut programs or change services in the last year, and 70% of nonprofit leaders say our community members’ access to basic needs is being threatened

So for two weeks, May 1–15, Community Foundation Boulder County is asking you to go all in.

Because together, we can fund the community-driven local organizations that make a difference in Boulder County.

The language included in the All In playbook is approved by the foundation for All In fundraising events. Any deviation from the approved language may result in the foundation denying receipt of donations. Net proceeds from a fundraiser can be sent to the Community Foundation Boulder County for the All In Boulder County Campaign at any time; however, donations made by May 31, 2026, will be distributed through the Community Trust in 2026. Any donations received after that date will be distributed through the Community Trust in 2027. Only donations directly received by the foundation will be tax-deductible as charitable contributions and will receive gift receipts from the foundation. Donations received in bulk (e.g., net proceeds) will not be individually acknowledged for charitable purposes. All proceeds from the event will be entered as a single donation. No record of individual donations will be kept by the foundation. Community Foundation Boulder County will acknowledge any donations sent directly to the foundation, including checks, online gifts, wires, etc. Rummage sales, auctions, and raffles are not permitted.

The foundation will report any fundraising activities done in the name of foundation, or campaign’s name, that are not ultimately received by the foundation. Donating directly to the foundation is always your safest option. If you suspect that an individual or business is engaging in fraudulent activity, please contact allinboco@commfound.org.
