Please note: Fees are waived for gifts of $100,000+ made using an IRA, DAF or wire transfer to one or many nonprofits in a single transaction. Donations from a DAF at another institution may have minimum distribution requirements. We recommend checking with your fund manager before making a donation. If you send funds without making a submission through the ColoradoGives.org checkout process, we will attempt to contact you to clarify intent. If we cannot identify or reach you within 30 days, the funds will be directed to Colorado Gives Foundation's unrestricted fund. If your payment exceeds your cart total, any additional amount will be directed to Colorado Gives Foundation’s unrestricted fund.

How It Works
1. Add Nonprofit(s) to Cart: Select all the nonprofits you want to support and add them to your cart. Then select 'Donor Advised Fund (DAF), IRA, Wire' as the payment method at checkout.
2. Send Us One Check: After checkout, you'll receive an email with detailed instructions on how to send a check to Colorado Gives Foundation.
3. We Distribute the Funds: Once we receive the check, we'll send an email when the funds have been distributed to your chosen nonprofit(s).
Important: The date of your donation is when we receive and process your funds—not when you submit your cart online. To ensure your gift counts toward Colorado Gives Day, please send your funds early. Gifts processed after Dec. 9 will still be disbursed to your chosen nonprofit(s) but will not qualify for Colorado Gives Day.
