The Opportunity 2021 Ally Awards Sponsorship Opportunities
One Colorado Education Fund (OCEF) is a statewide organization dedicated to securing and protecting equality and opportunity
for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Coloradans and their families.
One Colorado Education Fund will host its signature fundraising event — The Ally Awards — on November 12th, 2021 at the Four
Seasons Hotel in Denver. The evening will culminate in an awards presentation to allies who work to advance equality and make a
substantive difference in the lives of LGBTQ Coloradans. The evening will kick off with a cocktail party with a hosted bar and heavy
hors d’oeuvres. Guests will then move to the Four Seasons ballroom and attendees will enjoy an awards ceremony with special
guest speakers, delectable desserts, and champagne.
OCEF has made significant progress mobilizing the LGBTQ community in Colorado. OCEF has built a list of more than 105,000
supporters statewide, including 45,000 email members, 38,000 social media followers, and 4,500 individual donors. Ally Awards
sponsors have significant opportunities for brand exposure and promotion — both print and online — through their support of One
Colorado and this exclusive opportunity. Sponsorship of the 2021 Ally Awards gives sponsors access to other major One Colorado
stakeholder events throughout the year.

IGNACIO OUT & EQUAL ALLIANCE
A youth focused and centered organization based in Southwest Colorado,
Ignacio Out & Equal Alliance was created to include every aspect of the
LGTBQ+ community. Their mission is to support, empower, educate, and
advocate for the LGBTQ+ and two-spirit community members, their families,
and allies in the Southwest by providing a safe and inclusive environment.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Southwest Rainbow Youth Co-Founders
realized that everyone could use help, especially in our current times. They
have been a crucial partner with local schools and organizations on LGBTQ
issues within a disproportionately underserved part of the state in rural
Colorado where few resources currently exist.

THE INTERFAITH ALLIANCE OF COLORADO
The Interfaith Alliance of Colorado was founded in 1998 by a group of faith
leaders from multiple backgrounds who were frustrated that their diverse faith
voices were not being represented in the public sphere—specifically in politics
or media. Their mission is to promote justice, religious liberty, and interfaith
understanding through building relationships in order to educate, advocate,
and catalyze social change.
Interfaith envisions a society where all people are free and supported to live
the life they wish for. They imagine faith communities from many traditions and
backgrounds who are committed to work grounded in our shared values, in
order to engage in collaborative action to dismantle systemic oppression.
They seek to be a force for good in Colorado by standing up for rights and
equality for all people. The Interfaith Alliance has continued to be the faith
voice standing up for LGBTQ equality and women’s reproductive rights and
justice. They’ve also been an outspoken voice for criminal justice reform at the
state capitol and work to devise creative solutions to complex problems.

2021 Ally Awards Sponsorship Opportunities The Audience
The 11th Annual Ally Awards is a visible and high-profile event, with a typical attendance of more than 450 guests each year. The
2021 Ally Awards will follow strict public health guidelines and may have a limited capacity, depending on federal, state, and local
guidelines at the time of the event.
One Colorado is honored to host a diverse and influential group of civic, community, and business leaders whose power and
leverage reach every corner of our state. In addition, One Colorado welcomes a large, bipartisan contingent of elected officials—
from City Council members to sitting United States Senators—from across the state to join us for this unique celebration. Previous
attendees have included former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, Colorado Attorney General
Cynthia Coffman, Planned Parenthood’s President Cecile Richards, Governor John Hickenlooper and other special guests.
We celebrate the work of allies because of their tremendous ability to change hearts and minds of fair-minded Coloradans — and
because their courage is an incredible asset to One Colorado’s work.
