The Incentive Fund Boost
The Incentive Fund is made possible by Colorado Gives Foundation, FirstBank and other generous sponsors totaling more than $1,000,000.
From November 1 through Colorado Gives Day (December 10), every donation you receive benefits from one of the largest community incentive funds in the nation! Here’s how it works: Each nonprofit gets a portion of the fund based on their share of the total raised. For example, if you raise 10% of the total funds, you receive 10% of the $1M Incentive Fund.
Your share of the Incentive Fund will be included in the Colorado Gives Day disbursement in December.
$250K Recurring Match
Monthly donations can make a significant impact by providing a reliable source of funds to support your year-round projects and programs. Starting on November 1, when your donors set up a new monthly donation to any nonprofit on ColoradoGives.org, Colorado Gives Foundation will match the first donation up to $100, with a total matching pool of $250,000 across all participating organizations.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity—secure your monthly donations before the $250,000 match is gone! View Match Progress
