Downtown Fort Collins Business Association

The Downtown Fort Collins Business Association (DBA) is a non-profit corporation based in Fort Collins, Colorado. It is a small organization with 4 employees. The DBA serves over 225 active business members, encompassing a diverse range of organizations including arts organizations, restaurants, retail stores, entertainment venues, professional services, and non-profit organizations. They strive to promote these businesses and the downtown Fort Collins community as a whole. The DBA facilitates this through various downtown promotions, events, and initiatives throughout the year. These events attract over a quarter of a million visitors annually, boosting economic activity in the downtown area. A key differentiator for the DBA is its successful track record of generating marketing income through self-funding. This allows them to reinvest over $1.5 million back into Downtown Fort Collins within the last decade, further enhancing the area's growth and development. They also promote the use of Downtown gift cards, selling $350,000 worth annually, which are exclusively spent within Downtown Fort Collins businesses. The DBA is committed to creating a vibrant and thriving downtown community. They can be reached through their website at downtownfortcollins.com.
