BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Fort Collins Police Services serves our community with an unwavering commitment to public safety, preserving
peace, preventing and detecting crime, enforcing laws, and protecting our homes and families.
The T2G Family Foundation’s gift is a tangible demonstration of appreciation for the service of over 300 FCPS
staff who work with a passion for making Fort Collins a safe community for our residents and families. The gift
underwrites the purchase of personal protective equipment, Angel Armor rifle plates, for all sworn officers.
City Give’s transparent, non-partisan governance structure upholds the public’s trust in the City’s ability to honor
donor intent and make meaningful investments in our community. Per City Give policy, this generous gift, as all
gifts over $25,000 made to the City of Fort Collins, warrants a Gift Agreement, a “best-practices” approach to
clarify gift terms, expectations, and to ensure no municipal influence was or will be provided at any time by the
City to the donor as consideration for the donation.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance will appropriate $193,000 of philanthropic revenue received by City Give for expenditure from
the City’s General Fund by Fort Collins Police Services. The funds have been received and accepted per City
Give Administrative and Financial Policy. COPYATTACHMENT 1
