The Moving Fort Collins Forward! 2015 campaign is the once a year opportunity for businesses to claim their 2016 programs sponsorship through The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce. A long with campaign sponsors Blue Ocean Enterprises, Inc. and OtterBox, the Fort Collins Chamber has now made hundreds of 2016 sponsorship available to purchase.
Instead of soliciting business members throughout the year for upcoming event sponsorships and products, the Fort Collins Chamber switched to a one-time ask model with the Moving Fort Collins Forward Campaign in 2011. The campaign model has successfully helped members budget and identify the sponsorships that best fit their needs.

These programs cover a variety of subjects and give members a wonderful marketing opportunity for exposure to many different businesses throughout the region while supporting the Chamber’s economic development, public policy and member value efforts.
The Moving Fort Collins Forward! 2015 campaign will provide the Fort Collins area with a properly funded chamber of commerce capable of accomplishing key initiatives in the community. The Chamber is dedicated to improving community infrastructure, keeping schools strong, sound public policy, and economic growth, all of which lead to a more successful and vibrant community.
From now until November 19, over 60 volunteers on 13 teams are tasked with raising $660,000 and recruiting 100 new members for the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce. To reach this goal, volunteers will be raising funds in five different ways which include special community initiatives, memberships, event sponsorships, advertising and budget reductions trades.
