Colorado Gives Day! Support the Nonprofit that Matters to YOU

For Giving Made Easy, Donate Online!

With 2012 coming to a close, it’s time to let your philanthropy shine through! ASES is proud to announce that we are part of Colorado Gives day, which takes place on December 4th. Colorado Gives Day is a 24-hour event, presented by Community First Foundation and FirstBank, dedicated to supporting Colorado nonprofits. Now is the time to support ASES’ important work with a generous donation. 100% of your donation goes to ASES.

You can donate wherever you live! FirstBank provides a $300,000 incentive fund that will be split proportionally among the participating organizations. The more donations ASES receives, the larger our share of the incentive fund. Last year almost $13 million was donated in 24 hours to Colorado nonprofit organizations. Help put ASES at the top of the list!

You can pre-schedule your donation to be applied on December 4^th through Colorado Gives Day. Click the donate button which will take you to the ASES page.

Community First Foundation helps donors and nonprofits come together to improve quality of life in the Denver metro area. We use our resources to fund community programs, support the services of nonprofit organizations, and assist individuals with charitable giving. By monitoring the pulse of the community, we create new and innovative programs such as GivingFirst.org, an online giving resource, and Colorado Gives Day, an initiative that inspired Coloradans to donate more than $8.4 million in one day last year. We’ve been serving the region since 1975.

GivingFirst.org is an online resource featuring hundreds of Colorado charities. Made possible by Community First Foundation, it encourages charitable giving by providing comprehensive, objective and up-to-date information about local charities–and an easy way to support them online.
