About Us
“The Standard”, is a Colorado non-profit corporation formed in 2004, whose mission is to help those in need, including other non-profits raise the funds required to operate. Our goal is to financially help organizations that actively work to improve the quality of life in our communities and world. You can help us accomplish our mission by participating in our fundraising events. With your help we can achieve our dream of raising over $1,000,000 for charity.
“The Standard” is operated by a Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for planning, organizing and hosting different events, and also running the day to day affairs of the business. Currently there is no one on the pay-roll and all work is done on a volunteer basis. This allows, “The Standard” to pass along a very high rate of our incoming donations to the charities of choice.
Our goal is to pass along at least 90% of all net proceeds to other charitable organizations. For more financial information on our organization please click here.
