Colorado Gives Day
Nonprofit Connects Members
Colorado Gives Day makes good happen for more than 3,000 local nonprofits. What began in 2010 has grown to one of the largest giving days in the US. In 2020, the annual statewide movement raised more than $50 million in 24 hours. This celebration of giving helps donors give where they live to the causes they care about most.

Golden Senior Santa - The Golden Senior Santa program provides holiday gifts to seniors in our community who may be experiencing financial or medical challenges and don’t have nearby family. Participating seniors provide their “wish list” items which are available on tags hung on the Christmas trees at Connects or on an Amazon Wish List. If you choose Amazon Wish List, you can pick a gift requested by a senior and it will be delivered to Santa’s Workshop for wrapping and delivery. If possible, please return gifts by Tuesday, 12/14, to allow time for sorting and organizing at the North Pole. All gifts are needed by Thursday, 12/16, at the latest. See Flyer.
