Tuesday, Dec. 4 is Colorado Gives Day, an initiative to increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving. For 24 hours, donors will be able to make their charitable contributions go further at GivingFirst.org. All processing fees will be covered by the Community First Foundation, ensuring that 100 percent of donations go directly to nonprofit organizations. In addition, FirstBank will match a portion of donations with a $300,000 incentive fund.
All you have to do to make a difference is visit GivingFirst .org, select the charity of your choice and donate. There are hundreds of Colorado nonprofits from which to choose, and they are searchable by location and type.
Last year, Colorado Gives Day distributed $12.8 million to 928 nonprofits statewide. The Community First Foundation is optimistic that this year’s event will be even more successful.
