Colorado Gives Day returns for the seventh year on December 6, 2016. The goal is to increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving by providing comprehensive, objective, and up-to-date information about Colorado charities — and an easy way to support them online. You don't have to wait till next week. Visit the website now while it's fresh in your mind, and your donation will be processed on December 6.
Why Colorado Gives Day is the BEST Day to Donate
- No credit card and processing fees so 100% of your donation goes directly to the nonprofit organizations you choose.
- The FirstBank $1 Million Incentive Fund will proportionally increase the value of every dollar donated.
- Participating non-profit organizations are eligible to win additional cash prizes through a Luck-of-the Draw process.
- It feels good to unite with other Coloradans in a common goal to strengthen our state's nonprofits.
Kids for ColoradoGives.org
New this year is a special page for families to use to help them decide which organizations to support. KidsforColoradoGives.org uses kid-friendly icons and sections like Education, Animals, and Love Our Planet to connect your family with Colorado charities, find out about the good work they do, and learn why they need our support.
