Now through Dec. 6, any donation to a Colorado nonprofit will be boosted with a $1.4 million incentive fund.
Colorado Gives Day is the first Tuesday of December, but every donation made from Nov. 1 to Dec. 6 on ColoradoGives.org counts toward Colorado Gives Day. With support from Community First Foundation, FirstBank and other community partners, all donations statewide will be matched proportionally using the $1.4 million in the incentive fund.
Dozens of Longmont charities are participating in the event, funding everything from animals and the arts to human services and civil rights. The Longmont Humane Society is one such organization.
“Our fight to improve the lives of companion animals is more vital now than ever before,” the humane society said. “This day of giving is one of the many ways you can make a real difference. We look forward to having you join us for this special campaign. Together, we can make the world a better place for animals.”
Donors to TRU Community Care, which provides hospice and advanced illness services to Longmont and nearby communities, will see their support matched thanks to a grant from The Paige Foundation.
“TRU Community Care relies on support from friends like you to continue our vital work: providing the best possible care to anyone who needs us, regardless of ability to pay,” the organization said.
Colorado Gives Day has raised more than $362 million for nonprofits across the state since it began.
