Colorado Gives Day returns for the 12th year on Tuesday, December 7, 2021. 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.
Since its inception in 2010, Colorado Gives Day has raised over $300 million for Colorado nonprofits, making it among the most successful giving days in the nation. In 2020, donors gave more than $50 million in 24 hours.
You don't have to wait till next week. Visit the website now while it's fresh in your mind, and your donation will process on December 7.
Why Colorado Gives Day is the BEST Day to Donate:
- When you donate on Colorado Gives Day, your donation is proportionally increased by the $1.6 Million Incentive Fund, increasing the value of your gift.
- Participating nonprofit 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!
