"The donations we receive on Colorado Gives Day help us provide exams, microchips, vaccines, and spay/neuter surgeries for every animal placed into our care. Additionally, these funds off-set the costs of surgical and behavioral rehabilitation services for those animals most in need", stated Michelle Featheringill, Executive Director, LPCHS. "Our goal is to raise $15,000 through Colorado Gives this year, which will help many of our animals thrive and find forever homes."
$1 Million Incentive Fund
Community First Foundation and FirstBank each contributed $500,000 to create a $1 Million Incentive Fund, one of the largest gives-day incentive funds in the country. Every nonprofit receiving a donation on Colorado Gives Day receives a portion of the fund, which increases the value of every dollar donated. For example, if La Plata County Humane Society receives 10 percent of the total donations made on Colorado Gives Day, La Plata County Humane Society also receives 10 percent of the $1 Million Incentive Fund.
Community First Foundation, a leading foundation dedicated to fueling the power of community to drive positive change, and FirstBank, Colorado's largest locally owned bank, have partnered to present Colorado Gives Day for the past seven years. By making fundraising simple for nonprofits and giving easy for donors, Colorado Gives Day is one the most successful events of its kind in the nation. Last year, $28.5 million was raised for Colorado nonprofits in just 24 hours. Since its inception in 2010, $111 million has been donated on Colorado Gives Day.
