COLORADO YOUTH SPORTS GIVING DAY
BEGINS SEPTEMBER 1, 2026 @ 6:00 PM MT. 

Your gift goes further on Youth Sports Giving Day! It's playoff season for Colorado youth sports: get ready for 15 days of giving where every dollar gets supercharged. Dollar-for-dollar matching begins @ 6:00 PM MT on September 1, 2026 from the 1:1 Match Pool giving more Colorado kids a shot at sports.

New this year: You can give through a donor-advised fund (DAF), IRA, or wire on ColoradoGives.org and your gift unlocks its own dollar-for-dollar match from the brand-new America250 Fund — a $250,000 dollar-for-dollar match just for donors giving online with DAF, IRA or wire contributions. 

When these two match pools are exhausted, the donation boosters don't stop. Every remaining gift made online is matched at a percentage rate through the Incentive Fund — so your generosity stays in play right to the final whistle on September 15 @ 11:59 PM MT.

All gift matching applies to online gifts made on ColoradoGives.org only — including DAF, IRA, and wire gifts.
To keep the playing field level, matching dollars from the 1:1 Match Pool + America250 Fund caps out at $150,000 per organization to celebrate as many participating youth sports programs as possible.
