Colorado Gives Day is Dec. 6. Donors may schedule their donations in advance in support of causes they care about through swcogives.org.

Southwest Colorado Gives is a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado to inspire generosity in the five counties and increase online giving for local participating nonprofits.

Southwest Colorado Gives is a safe, secure and easy platform for donors to contribute online to local nonprofits. Last year on Colorado Gives Day, $55 million was donated statewide, with almost $500,000 going to nonprofits in the five-county region. The regional platform, swcogives.org, features more than 100 nonprofits. This year, the local giving goal is to exceed $550,000.
