Sponsorship Opportunities
GCF’s greatest strength is our boots-on-the-ground expertise. We live and breathe Golden every day, and that deep knowledge of our community is something we bring to you and every partnership. We do the hard work for you, connecting your passion to where it is need most.
We are proudly community-funded and proudly community-driven—and we could not do this work without you. Last year alone, we partnered with more than 40 nonprofits working to make Golden the kind of place people are proud to call home. Learn more about our 2025 impact here: GCF Community Impact One Pager.
Let’s build a partnership aligned with your goals and your impact in Golden.
“As a local Realtor, who also lives right here in Golden, I’ve seen firsthand how the Golden Civic Foundation keeps our town strong and connected. Being an Annual Gala Sponsor was a meaningful way to give back to this place I’m lucky to call home—a town that’s given me so much in return. Every dollar raised goes right back into local nonprofits, helping Golden stay vibrant and full of heart.”

Annual Gala & Auction Sponsorships
As Golden’s most anticipated and celebrated social event of the year, sponsors receive prominent recognition at the 300-guest extravaganza and in event communications. In 2025, the GCF Annual Gala & Auction was named Best Non-Profit Charity Event for the City of Golden by Colorado Community Media.
As a sponsor, your name will have visibility with thousands of community leaders, both residents and businesses. We encourage you to act fast before sponsorship levels sell out!
Community Event Sponsorships
Gain visibility and connect with the Golden community at neighborhood festivals, VIP events, and more. Event sponsorship is one of the most popular ways community-minded businesses engage with GCF's mission. In addition to our Annual Gala & Auction, we host several events throughout the year that offer meaningful opportunities to connect your brand with the people who make Golden special.
Become a Golden Investment Partner!
Businesses that contribute $10,000 or more in total annual support, including sponsorships, donations, and in-kind contributions, qualify as a Golden Investment Partner. This is a great way to partner with GCF year-round to maximize your organization’s presence and contribute to sustained community impact.
Cause Marketing: Together, For The Good Of Golden
Supporting our local businesses has been at the core of our mission since we were founded in 1970.
GCF’s “Together for the Good of Golden” cause marketing campaign will allow Golden businesses to designate a specific product, such as a menu item, a service, or a physical item, as their unique “Together for the Good of Golden” product. A percentage of the sales of these items will be donated to GCF. In return, we will promote the business and campaign through our website, social media, events, and more. This mutually beneficial partnership will help our local businesses achieve their social responsibility goals, will encourage people to buy local and support Golden businesses, and will allow GCF to deepen our community impact through grants to nonprofits and civic organizations.
Want to learn more about how your business can get involved through cause marketing? Please reach out to Violina Mitovska at violina@goldencivicfoundation.org or 303-279-9169.
