Thank you for your interest in supporting the Food Bank for Larimer County (FBLC) by hosting a fundraiser to benefit our organization. Each year, we are very grateful for the many requests from organizations and individuals who wish to hold a special event, promotion or sale to benefit their hungry neighbors. Because of the volume of these requests, our staff is unable to participate in every event/ promotion proposed. If you are simply looking for a staff member or volunteer to come to your place of business, organization or event and give a presentation about the Food Bank, please call 970-530-3113.

Approval Process: Because keeping mission focused and maintaining the public trust is vital to FBLC, we would like to know about your plans. Please complete the online form for approval. Based on the information provided, the FBLC management will evaluate the proposal and get back to you as soon as possible to discuss the proposed event/ promotion and our level of participation.

General event/ promotion criteria:



  • Event proposals should be submitted 60 days in advance if they require staff or volunteer participation.

  • Food and funds must be submitted to FBLC within 30 days of the event date.  The submission process of food and funds will be coordinated with an FBLC contact.

  • Each event/ promotional activity shall be in compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations.

  • All promotions, agreements, contracts and permits required by City Ordinance or otherwise will be the responsibility of the sponsor/ event organizer.

  • Events/ promotions must maintain the integrity of the FBLC brand. In addition, the event/ promotion must also maintain public good will and trust.

  • The FBLC will not be liable for any costs associated with the event/ promotion (including rentals, printing, postage, security, licensing, permits, fees, taxes, etc).

  • Sponsor/ organizer will handle media and publicity. Requests for media and publicity assistance will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

  • In order to keep costs down, FBLC does not typically purchase advertising to endorse events or promotions.

  • Any use of the Food Bank's logo must be approved in advance of FBLC. Event sponsors may not list FBLC as a co-sponsor or beneficiary without advance permission. FBLC must approve any promotional materials displaying our logo.

  • In consideration of our ongoing donor relationships and funding requests from the following businesses, we ask that you do not contact the following for funds for your event: Anheuser-Busch, Inc.; First National Bank; and Poudre Valley Health Systems.

  • In consideration of our ongoing food donors, we ask that you do not contact any local grocer, Wal-Mart Supercenter, or Sam's Club to solicit donations on behalf of FBLC for your event.

  • If you plan to approach local businesses or faith communities for sponsorships, please provide us in with a prospect list for our review before you contact them. Ours is a small community and we want to avoid putting our donors in the unwanted position of receiving multiple funding requests in support of our organization. We also want to avoid diminishing the success of our fund-raising events, which could occur if a donor decided to support your event in lieu of ours.

We appreciate  your work on behalf of our disadvantaged Larimer County residents. Your kind support provides hope and encouragement for the single-parent families, teens in crisis, low-income seniors, disabled and the homeless people we serve.
