Considering a Donation? Get to Know Local Nonprofits this Colorado Gives Day!
We believe in adopting a spirit of generosity all year long, but we love that Colorado Gives Day (second Tuesday of December) falls right in the heart of the holiday season! In the midst of all the busyness (and beauty!) this time of year can bring, we love celebrating a day that encourages people to slow down, do good, and think outwardly. Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, we're on board with the philosophy that every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in!
