What is Colorado Gives Day?

Coloradans are encouraged to join the statewide Colorado Gives Day movement by supporting their favorite causes online through ColoradoGives.org. Give Where You Live on Colorado Gives Day, December 5, 2023.

Every online donation made on coloradogives.org during the giving period from November 1st to December 5th is boosted by the incentive fund. For example, if a nonprofit organization receives 10 percent of the total donations made up to Colorado Gives Day, that same nonprofit receives 10 percent of the $1 Million Incentive Fund.

Why donate to Greenwood?

As the largest facility of its kind on the Front Range, the wildlife need our services and depend on us to provide food, shelter, and enrichment while they recover, grow, and thrive. You can help us give wild lives a second chance.

What does your donation help Greenwood do?

$10 pays for one animal’s radiograph.

$100 helps us test one animal for Avian Influenza (HPAI).
$1,500 buys us enough formula for squirrels for the year.

How can I participate?

  • Starting November 1st, you can place your donation for Colorado Gives Day. All donations from 11/1 – 12/5 will count toward the incentive fund which helps Greenwood receive even more donations for the critters. We couldn’t do this work without supporters like you! 
  • Follow our social media channels in the coming weeks to hear stories of our patients returning to the wild, watch amazing videos of our patients’ healing and more reasons why you should give on Colorado Gives Day! Find us on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you’re just as passionate as us, share the posts on your own social channels too!
  • Encourage your workplace to give in your own fundraiser!
  • Donate a portion of your Individual Retirement Account (IRA)! This feature allows you to give any time of the year to charitable organizations. What makes it better is that these contributions are free from federal income tax. If you are 72 or older and need to take minimum distributions from your tax-deferred retirement account, try charitable giving!
