FAQs

B:CIVIC is a 501©3 under our affiliate, the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation and can support your charitable giving goals. Please connect with staff for a copy of our W-9.

B:CIVIC has been growing an ecosystem where companies are better equipped to address both community and social issues that are critical to Colorado since 2014. As you know, we empower organizations, like yours, and their people to build stronger communities. We do that by creating connections, sharing expertise and inspiring action.

At the end of 2021, we transformed our membership model to offer more access and choice through an investor model. Within this model, current members can continue engaging at your investment level or choose to increase your investment for more exposure and benefits, new organizations can invest to uplift ESG & CSR in Colorado, and individuals will find more opportunities to engage and gain access to best practices.

Our Investor Model Gives You:

• Engagement in our year-round educational and networking programming, including the annual B:CIVIC Summit (complimentary tickets now included)
• Access to a community of social responsibility professionals sharing expertise and best practices
• Collaboration with a growing, diverse field of organizations that value social responsibility and want to build stronger, more resilient communities
• Choice in selecting the level of investment that best meets your organization’s needs

In addition to the social benefit of your investment, B:CIVIC is a 501©3, under the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation, and can support your charitable giving goals.

As of Jan. 1, 2019, nonprofits are eligible to apply and engage with B:CIVIC. Nonprofits do not receive a discount.

Non-Solicitation Policy

B:CIVIC has a non-solicitation policy. We strive to create an environment of best practices exchange and genuine community-building, free of unnecessary disruptions. Therefore, all investors are prohibited from certain forms of solicitation that is not investor-related and seek to promote certain products, services or fundraising causes. The prohibited forms of solicitation include e-mail solicitation, face-to-face solicitation, and distribution of literature or circulation of petitions at our events or on our website (unless the company is a sponsor of the event). B:CIVIC will periodically host select events that will allow investors an opportunity to promote their services to others. B:CIVIC reserves the right to terminate an investor violating this policy.

Media investors must not engage in interviews on behalf of B:CIVIC or discuss B:CIVIC-related business to reporters unless asked to serve as a thought leader on behalf of the organization. Please refer all media-related questions to B:CIVIC.

These terms apply to all investors, users and others who access or use our services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms.

We encourage organizations across the state (and beyond) to invest in B:CIVIC. Investment levels with B:CIVIC begin at $500 annually for organizations with less than 100 employees. However, if you cannot invest at this time, we do offer a paid community option for select events. Please see our calendar for upcoming events.

When a chamber or business association becomes a B:CIVIC investor only their employees are able to engage and utilize investor benefits, except special affinity groups for which they are not eligible. (e.g., Non-CSR professional  can’t attend a CSR Peer Roundtable.) While we hope that you share information about B:CIVIC and special events that are open to the public with your members, your members do not automatically become B:CIVIC investors as well. Each of your business members will need to invest and engage with B:CIVIC individually.
