About Us

We're Colorado Gives Foundation.

Creators of Colorado Gives Day + ColoradoGives.org

Colorado Gives Foundation is a community foundation with a mission to make good happen by connecting people, ideas and nonprofits. In Jefferson County (Jeffco), we partner with local nonprofits through various philanthropic tools, including grantmaking to help build resilient, connected and thriving communities. Statewide, we created ColoradoGives.org—a year-round giving platform that makes it easy for individuals and businesses to support nonprofits, and for nonprofits to raise the funds they need to grow their impact.

Colorado Gives Day is our favorite time of year—where all of us can come together to support the causes we care about most and help nonprofits thrive. That’s what this statewide giving movement is all about! Since 2010, Coloradans have raised over half a billion dollars, including $54.8 million in 2024 alone.

$1M+ Incentive Fund

Every donation made and processed during the Colorado Gives Day event is boosted by one of the largest Incentive Funds in the country.

How It Works

All nonprofits receive a percentage of the fund equal to the percentage they raise for Colorado Gives Day. So, if they raise 10%, they get 10% of the Incentive Fund.

Example

Nonprofit A raised ($10K) divided by the Total Amount Raised on Gives Day ($10M) x Total Amount in Incentive Fund ($1M+) = Individual Nonprofit's Share of Incentive Fund ($1K)*

*All numbers presented in the example are hypothetical (with the exception of the Incentive Fund amount).
