By Dana Rinderknecht, GivingFirst Manager WOW! How time flies when it is the Giving Season! We are just now coming down from an amazing high, and I thought it would be fun to share some of the information we have gathered and open up a forum where others might share their experiences. For me, Colorado Gives Day was a renewal in faith in the people of Colorado. For the past three years, I have been talking about the statistics that Colorado Nonprofit Association’s Generosity Project brought to light that said Coloradoans do not give like the average American gives, ranking 38th in overall giving. I have spoken about how I believed GivingFirst.org can change this statistic by giving the people of Colorado a place to learn about the phenomenal nonprofits operating in their neighborhoods. On December 8th, you stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the ball park! 8.4 million dollars ! Unbelievable! For me, it was an amazing 24 hours. Yes, I was up from midnight until midnight.
ColoradoGives.org, powered by Community First Foundation, is an online giving website providing up-to-date information about Colorado nonprofits and an easy way to support them online.
