Colorado Gives Day is an effort by Community First Foundation and 1st Bank to increase philanthropic giving in the state of Colorado. On December 4, for 24 hours, Colorado residents are encouraged to donate to one of 1,000 participating non-profits! Last year, this effort raised $12.8 million in one day! It is an excellent way to give back this holiday season, and you can choose which organization you want to donate to by visiting
givingfirst.org. And best of all 100% of your donation goes straight to the organization-- no exceptions!
Many non-profits have benefitted from this program in the past including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, Animal House, and Boulder County AIDS project (just to name a few!). It's one day changing thousands of lives. Check it out

This looks like an awesome event! I have never heard of it before but I will definitely check it out. Are you planning on donating to a specific organization?
