Community Outreach
Community giving is rooted in GFM’s belief that organizations, as well as individuals, must be good tenants of the world. We owe it to our community to do what we can to improve the lives of our neighbors, as well as friends far beyond the borders of Colorado. For us, giving back expands our passion for life and connects us to our community helping people and organizations that need assistance the most.
Since our inception more than 10 years ago, GFM has donated the equivalent of nearly 15 percent of annual revenues back to the community – consisting of cash contributions, pro bono public relations, reduced billing rates for nonprofit clients and staff time committed to community organizations. Our client roster consistently features several pro-bono clients, as well as several nonprofit organizations that receive public relations and social media services at a reduced fee.
In 2011, our pro-bono partners were Jeremy Bloom's Wish of a Lifetime Foundation and SafeHouse Denver. The GFM team worked with both organizations to develop strategic positioning, implement targeted media relations programs, and offer social media support across a variety of mediums. GFM will continue to support SafeHouse in 2012 to continue to grow awareness of it and its mission among Denver media. From 2006-2010, our pro-bono partner was Tennyson Center for Children, one of the Rocky Mountain region’s leading treatment and education centers for abused, neglected and at-risk youth. We received the national Kauffman Community Award for the charitable work we did in partnership with this deserving nonprofit.
Our team members sit on boards for local organizations, lead committees and simply volunteer time to those who need it. Just a sampling of the organizations in which our staff is involved includes ALS Rocky Mountain Chapter, Outward Bound Denver, Denver Rescue Mission, Cooking Matters, dZi Foundation, Downtown Denver Partnership, Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation, Friends of AirLife, Jeremy Bloom’s Wish of a Lifetime, PlatteForum, Metro Denver Sports Commission, SafeHouse Denver, Special Olympics, Tennyson Center for Children and Trout Unlimited.
