Colorado Gives Day & End of Year Charitable Giving Guide for 2025

Colorado Gives Day is running now through December 9th this year. Since launching in 2010, Coloradans on Colorado Gives Day have donated over half a billion dollars to thousands of nonprofits statewide. We certainly encourage you to donate to causes you support and believe in, but if land conservation and protection are part of your core values, we have a donation guide for you.

The following is a list of nonprofit organizations that we endorse and support ourselves, and hope that you consider for Giving Tuesday, Colorado Gives Day, or for your end-of-year 2025 contributions.
