Colorado Gives Day: How to Make an Impact

So, what is Colorado Gives Day?

Colorado Gives Day, hosted by Community First Foundation and FirstBank partner has grown to be Colorado’s largest 24-hour giving event. Since it began in 2010, it has raised more than $362 million for Colorado causes. Each December, Coloradans come together with the common goal to strengthen the community by helping to power nonprofits. Among them, the Kempe Foundation takes part in the event as well.

When is it happening?

There are two key dates for Colorado Gives day:

  • November 1: Early Giving begins
  • December 6: Colorado Gives Day

Early giving is a chance for donors to give before the big day. December 6 is the official start of Colorado Gives Day. If you are interested in making a fundraising page for the Kempe Foundation, you can start that process as early as now!

What is a fundraising page?

Think of Colorado Gives Day fundraising pages as creating your own personal page for friends and family to donate to an organization of your choice. If you choose, you can build one that funnels directly to the Kempe Foundation.

Aside from a fundraising page, how else can I contribute?

You can donate directly to existing fundraising pages raising money for the Kempe Foundation. You can also help spread the word by talking about Colorado Gives Day and the Kempe Foundation on your social media and in conversations.
