Colorado Gives Day


Colorado Gives Day is just days away! 

Tuesday, December 6th is the 2nd Annual Colorado Gives Day.

This initiative was started by the Community First Foundation in an effort to increase philanthropy in Colorado. The first Colorado Gives Day, held in 2010, was a huge success, raising nearly $9 million for local charities and foundations.  Foothills Animal Foundation was part of this historic day of giving and we hope you, your friends and family will be able to support us again this year.

Remember, all donations made on December 6th via the Community First Foundation’s Giving First website will be matched by up to $0.10 per dollar, thanks to generous support provided by FirstBank Colorado. In addition to First Bank’s incentive fund, additional challenge grants are being offered!  Three of these challenge grants will be awarded to the organizations with the highest number of donors highest number of donors.  So, even if you or your friends and family can only donate a few dollars, please consider making a contribution to Foothills Animal Foundation on December 6.  100% of your donation will benefit the animals and programs of Foothills Animal Shelter.
