About Our FoundationWe are the Colorado Gives Foundation (formerly Community First Foundation). We connect people, ideas and nonprofits. We are a Jeffco grantmaker and statewide, we invest to build the capacity of nonprofits and donors through online fundraising on ColoradoGives.org. We also support nonprofit endowments and donor services to help make a greater impact.What We BelieveWe believe that a community is built by connection, and everyone can make good happen. Together, we strive to build resilient, connected and thriving communities, which is good for everyone.What We DoColorado Gives Foundation is a community foundation (a 501(c)(3) public charity) dedicated to improving the lives of people in a defined geographic area. We work statewide to help donors, whether they are individuals, organizations, or corporations, with giving accounts that fulfill their charitable interests. We also make grants to nonprofits serving Jefferson County to ensure that all of Jeffco is thriving. Unlike other community foundations, we also run an online giving platform – ColoradoGives.org – that connects donors to nonprofits across the state of Colorado, and powers a giving day every December called Colorado Gives Day.Colorado Gives Day is Dec. 10, 2024 and it's easily the best day to give. Giving today atColoradoGivesDay.org.
