Colorado Gives Day is an annual statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving. The Colorado Combined Campaign is designed to provide you ease of giving through online pledging and monthly payroll deduction. Combine the two this Tuesday, Dec. 8, and you can give to more than 600 Colorado-based nonprofits all throughout 2016. and you are sure to find a program that touches your heart.
When you join with other Colorado state employees and make a donation to a nonprofit organization through the Colorado Combined Campaign, your impact is increased. Just a few dollars per paycheck allows partner nonprofit organizations to strengthen Colorado communities. For example:
- $3/paycheck provides a child with an individual counseling session
- $3/paycheck provides backpacks and school supplies to two homeless youths
- $5/paycheck provides parenting skill classes for a teen family
- $5/paycheck provides lunch for 60 preschoolers
- $20/paycheck provides a month of shelter, food and counseling for a family in crisisÌý
- $25/paycheck sponsors one-on-one therapy sessions for a child with special needs
Last year, state employees donated over one million dollars to support more than 600 important causes. Contributing to the Colorado Combined Campaign is another way to support Colorado, and we hope you will continue to show your generous spirit.
