The Civic 50 Colorado, now in its second year, identifies the state’s 50 most community-minded companies via a survey modeled after the national Civic 50 award administered by Points of Light. The survey is independently administered and scored by True Impact across four “I” dimensions: investment in the community, integration of corporate social responsibility into its strategies, institutionalization of practices that contribute to societal causes and impact measurement.

The above companies have supported Colorado in countless ways in 2020, including by:

• Contributing over $45 million in monetary and in-kind donations to Colorado charitable causes
• Contributing over 275,000 volunteer hours toward COVID-related assistance, social-justice efforts and other causes
• Involving 5 out every 10 employees in volunteer opportunities supporting external nonprofit organizations and 4 out of 10 in employee resource groups (ERGs) and other internal opportunities to support societal issues (on average)

The Civic 50 Colorado honorees were announced via a virtual party that included a presentation by Natalye Paquin, president and chief executive officer of Points of Light, and each winner will be featured in the Denver Business Journal over the next year.

​Today is Human Rights Day — the anniversary of the day the global community adopted, in 1948, the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), a milestone document that proclaims the rights to which every human being is entitled — regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. The UDHR has been translated into over 500 languages. One of these tongues, Navajo, is native to our state.
​
In Colorado, as in the world, much work remains before we can say that we fully recognize the “inherent dignity and… equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family,” as the UDHR establishes. Why not develop ongoing employee volunteer opportunities to help realize this vision? Click the link below for several nonprofit organizations that might be able to help.
