| Thank You for Coming! December Anniversary Celebration |
Our Anniversary Celebration and Silent Auction
were a huge hit!
Photo credit: Edwin Lachauer,
DOM Member
At our 13th Anniversary Celebration on December 2nd, we had over 200 attendees, many of whom participated in our silent auction through eBay leading up to and during the event. Thanks to your help and generosity, we raised nearly $7000!
Your support goes a long way at OMF. We rely on our members and community to run our free youth programs, keep class tuition and equipment rental affordable, provide nonprofit services at half the market rate and hold monthly community events.
Thank you for being a part of the community and making our work possible. Your support and participation, at every level, is the reason we are here.

| Colorado Gives Day | We Can't Thank You Enough |
Colorado Gives Day
This fall, in preparation for Colorado Gives Day, Denver Open Media offered several local nonprofits to join us in our studios for a unique opportunity to tell the community more about themselves.
In November, nine organizations came to Denver Open Media for a tour and a free taping of an information interview and a short pitch to explain why each organization should be given special attention on Colorado Gives Day. Every participant also received one Basic Membership and one free class with us. In addition to offering this opportunity free of charge, we raffled off two Chromebooks to two lucky participants. The event was fulfilling for us to give back and forge new relationships with fellow community leaders.
Open Media Foundation raised $22,000 on Colorado Gives Day. The support and generosity we received was amazing - from supporters new and old, friends and family.
Our deepest gratitude goes out to our supporters and we commit to continue our work, making Denver a better place for everyone.
