You're invited!
Support our mission of helping people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and gain control of their future by donating on Colorado Gives Day, December 8, 2020.
Colorado Give Day 2020
Presented by Community First Foundation and FirstBank, Colorado Gives Day is an annual statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy through online giving. The event is powered by ColoradoGives.org, a year-round, online giving platform. You can easily search for the IRC in Denver on the site, or click here, to make safe and secure donations.
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. Starting November 1, you can schedule your donation to be processed on December 8 so that the IRC in Denver can receive a portion of the $1 Million Incentive Fund.
Your donation on December 8 makes a tremendous difference!
How? Whether you donate $5 or $5,000 to the IRC in Denver, you are making a positive impact in the lives of Colorado’s newest community members. Here is some of the good you will contribute toward:
- A family being able to make their rent payment this month
- A family being able to put food on the table this month
- A survivor of torture continuing to receive much needed medical, mental health, and psychosocial support services to support their rehabilitation
- An asylum-seeker receiving legal assistance with their case
- A refugee receiving help pursuing citizenship
- Refugee and immigrant youth receiving tutoring to navigate remote learning and improve their grades during this very stressful and chaotic school year
- A newly resettled family being welcomed into their new home with a hot meal and a warm bed
- New Coloradans being supported during their job search
- A family receiving financial coaching and credit-building loans as they plan for their future
And while the list goes on, you can be confident in your choice to support refugee resettlement, asylum, and immigration during this incredibly tumultuous time for our country. This work would not be possible without your support, your voice, and your commitment to the IRC’s mission.
