Colorado Gives Day 2020 is December 8

Colorado Gives Day, a statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy through online giving, is scheduled for Tuesday, December 8, 2020. Starting November 1., you can schedule your Colorado Gives Day donation at ColoradoGives.org

Colorado Gives Day is a 24-hour day of giving to show support and gratitude to the nonprofits that work tirelessly to sustain Colorado communities.

“Many nonprofits have served as first responders during COVID and it has placed a tremendous burden on their resources. Other nonprofits, like museums and theaters, have lost revenue because of the shut down and social distancing.” said Kelly Dunkin, president and CEO of Community First Foundation, the organization that runs the event. “Colorado Gives Day is our chance to support and show gratitude for the nonprofits that keep Colorado wonderful. They need us more than ever this year.”

Since its inception in 2010, Colorado Gives Day has raised $257 million for Colorado nonprofits, making it among the most successful giving days in the nation. Last year alone, donors gave more than 165,407 individual donations to 2,610 nonprofits totaling $40 million, breaking all previous records.

“As a longtime corporate partner, it’s been an honor to witness the growth in statewide giving year-after-year and the monumental impact it’s made on our communities,” said Brian Larson, Regional President of FirstBank. “The $40 million raised in 2019 goes a long way toward supporting Colorado nonprofits, and we’re hopeful Colorado Gives Day 2020 will have an even greater imprint.”

Donors can search for local charities from any page on ColoradoGives.org to learn more and donate on Colorado Gives Day. Starting November 1, 2020, donors can also schedule their Colorado Gives Day donations.
