Press Release
Fort Collins, CO based CommunityFunded.com is excited to announce the successful funding of the
website’s first ten consecutive projects!
On June 26, 2012, “Help CharlyBar Take The Leap,” a CommunityFunded.com project started by entrepreneurial health food maker Charly Clifford, concluded its online funding campaign at 101% of its goal of $15,000. The CharlyBar project became the tenth-consecutively successful project to raise funding using the new website.
CommunityFunded.com was created by a small team of Fort Collins locals who wanted to bring the power of “crowd funding” into people’s everyday lives: providing a platform where communities can collaborate and share resources to make good things happen.
After a year of development, the site launched May 3, 2012, and has become a growing online community of 1,200 individuals and 230 organizations that have pledged over $70,000 to projects in their communities. Projects range from startups and small businesses seeking alternative funding streams, to non-profits, charitable causes and relief funds for those affected by the High Park Fire in Colorado.
Grant Family Farms had the first successful project on the site (June 8), raising $3,000 for their annual Spring Farm Tour. They were quickly followed by Akinz Clothing Company, Determined Nation Magazine, The 2013 Farmers of the Front Range & Brewer’s Calendars, and various other small business and charitable causes. LoCo Food Distribution raised $25,440 for their project through their efforts online and off, receiving a portion of their funding from Weld County’s Healthy Weld 2020 program.
This fund-raising model works in part by providing “Giftbacks” to supporters: pledges are made in return for goods and services provided from the project itself or offered by local businesses and organizations who support the project. CharlyBar raised funds by offering CharlyBars and apparel, tune-ups and gear from Full Cycle Bike Shop, and Mugs Coffee Lounge gift cards. This unity of projects, people, and organizations is what Community Funded seeks to create.
Charly’s project had an incredible one hundred and forty nine supporters whose combined efforts raised $15,179 to help his small business grow in an economy where cash is tight and loans are difficult to secure. While some of these pledges came from people simply exploring the website, most of them were driven there by Charly’s efforts to engage his friends, family, and community through real-world and online social networks.
Community Funded gives project creators the ability to showcase their ideas and gain support from their communities large and small. The Fort Collins, CO based team celebrated the launch of the first out-of-state project Wednesday June 27,Reopen Books and Breadboard” from Asheville, North Carolina. “We are excited to see this idea taking root in new communities. The word is spreading: Anything’s possible when it is Community Funded!”

Press Release
Great Big Color, a Colorado-based woman-owned, print production company adds the Inca Onset S-40 to their line-up of digital presses.

The Kenney Group Lands Four Pollie Awards for 2011 Ballot Initiatives
Press Release (The Kenney Group)
The Kenney Group, a Denver-based political consulting and public affairs firm won four national Pollie Awards from the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) outstanding work in television spots, online advertising, use of humor in a campaign and for an overall campaign – including a spot featuring Denver Mayor Michael Hancock opposing a local initiative.
The Hancock ad – which won a Bronze Pollie for best television ad in a ballot initiative – was the centerpiece of the successful 2011 campaign against a Denver paid-sick-leave initiative. The ad can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZeh1Bq3J5c
“We’re grateful that Mayor Hancock was such an effective and eager participant in helping us inform and motivate Denver voters on this issue in 2011,” said David Kenney, TKG founder and president, who wrote and produced the ad. “His presence helped sharpen the message, cut through the message clutter and hit home with voters who were wrestling with a complex and emotional issue.”
The Kenney Group also received three Pollie awards for its work on behalf of the Boulder Smart Energy Coalition, a group opposing a 2011 referendum in Boulder. TKG was honored with:
TKG is no stranger to national Pollie honors, having been recognized in recent years for innovative television advertising, direct mail and print persuasion -- including a well-known TV spot featuring then-Mayor John Hickenlooper parachuting from an airplane on behalf of a statewide fiscal referendum.
“Being recognized nationally once again for our work is a testament to the entire team effort , from concept to design to production that turns good ideas into effective political communication,” Kenney said.
The Pollie Awards are presented annually by AAPC, a national association for political and public affairs professionals. The awards honor the very best around the country in political campaign advertising and expertise. Winners are chosen from dozens of categories, recognizing a wide spectrum of political and public affairs communications.
The Kenney Group provides full-service strategic communications, media relations, government affairs and political consulting for a wide and diverse array of private- and public-sector clients. The firm has worked on a number of local, regional and statewide issue campaigns including the Denver Convention Center, FasTracks, the Better Denver bond program, the Denver Art Museum, among others.
In addition to its political work, the firm provides communications, public opinion research and government affairs services to a number of Colorado’s most prominent corporations, including Xcel Energy, Safeway, Frontier Airlines, Evraz Rocky Mountain Steel, and Centerplate.
