Support Local Nonprofits on Colorado Gives Day ~ Tuesday, December 5

November 30, 2017

Colorado Gives Day returns for the eighth year on Tuesday, December 5, 2017. 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. More than $200 million has been raised for Colorado nonprofits since 2007.

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 5.

Why Colorado Gives Day is the BEST Day to Donate

The FirstBank $1 Million Incentive Fund proportionally increases the value of every dollar donated.

Participating non-profit organizations are eligible to win additional cash prizes.

It feels good to unite with other Coloradans in a common goal.

Get the whole family involved and inspire the next generation of givers! KidsforColoradoGives.org connects families with Colorado charities to help them find out about the good work these organizations do and why they need our support. There's even a quiz for kids to take — What Kind of Giver Are YOU? — so the entire family can be involved in choosing an organization to support. ​

You can also search for nonprofits working on the issues you care about most, or use your zip code or city to find one working in your own community. If you aren't sure where to start, following is a list of a few local and family-oriented nonprofits you can support:
