Join us this CO Gives Day in supporting Colorado Safe Haven for Newborns. Our nonprofit works to protect vulnerable newborns, support parents in crisis, and prevent the heartbreaking reality of infant abandonment. Colorado’s Safe Haven Law allows parents to safely surrender an unharmed newborn up to 72 hours old at a designated location—no questions asked and without fear of prosecution.
Because of statewide awareness and training efforts, Colorado has now seen 100 safe surrenders. The funds we raise help ensure parents know this option exists and that hospitals, firefighters, law enforcement, and healthcare workers are prepared to respond with compassion and clarity.
This year, we strengthened partnerships with local and state agencies, provided updated guidance for Safe Haven situations, and invested in a redesigned website to give parents better access to resources. Our billboard campaign also continued, reaching an estimated 1.6 million people across Colorado.
Your contribution helps us expand awareness, increase training, and continue protecting the most vulnerable among us. Together, we can make a lasting difference.

Mission
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing infant abandonment by teaching about the Safe Haven Law. Unfortunately this law in unfunded in our state so we rely on contributions from our supporters to make sure we can get the word out to those who need to hear about it.
Background Statement
During the summer of 2003, the Denver area witnessed the tragic discovery of three infants who had lost their lives. The lives of these babies could have been spared if their mothers were aware of the Safe Haven law. Motivated by this heartbreaking incident, a group of compassionate individuals united to establish an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the Safe Haven law. The vision is to prevent infant deaths resulting from abandonment by ensuring that more people are informed about this vital option.
