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.
Since launching Colorado Gives Day in 2010, Coloradans have donated over $523 million for thousands of nonprofits statewide. Held each December, it’s become Colorado’s biggest giving movement, bringing communities together to support nonprofits.
