Greetings!

It’s no trick. Colorado Gives Day is December 10, with all donations for Colorado Gives Day eligible for a share of the $1 Million Incentive Fund from First Bank! Last year was our best ever, bringing in over $33,000 in donations!

That was a big treat for us, and we thank you all again!

When you give to the Colorado Center for the Blind, you are part of changing lives. Across Colorado, any number of our graduates who are blind parents will be taking their excited little ones trick-or-treating tonight. The belief that they can live the lives they want—including becoming parents—is in good part thanks to the Colorado Center for the Blind and your generous support!

And it’s so easy! You don’t even have to wait until December 10. You can make your gift beginning tomorrow, November 1. Any donation on the Colorado Gives website, or offline to us, will be counted toward our Incentive Fund share.

Set Up a Recurring Donation

Wish you could give, say, $100? Why not a monthly donation of $10 instead? That would make your annual gift to the Colorado Center for the Blind $120, and it won’t be such a big impact on your account!

And here’s the best treat of all: Become a new monthly donor, and Colorado Gives Foundation will match it up to $100. Starting November 1, 2024, the first month’s gift of any new recurring monthly donations on our ColoradoGives.org site will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $100 (with a total match pool of $250,000 across all organizations)!

Wow, it’s a matching treat! Go to our Colorado Gives page and make a new recurring donation, or a one-time donation starting November 1!
