"For it is in giving that we receive." - Francis Assisi
Today is Colorado Gives Day. This statewide movement celebrates and encourages philanthropy in Colorado with a local focus. Celebrating the theme "Give where you live" Colorado Gives Day makes giving locally easy by allowing people to go to one website,
www.coloradogives.org where they can find local charitable organizations they care about all in one place.
You can sort by cause or location to find the perfect charity that speaks to you. And e
ven if you can't give now, the site is up all year long, so you can give when you can.
