MAKE A DONATION

Please call Laura Bennett at (303) 839-1808 ext. 112 for information about making a donation with a credit card, or mail checks directly to Invest in Kids at 1775 Sherman Street, Suite 2075, Denver, CO 80203. LMC Community Foundation has created a link between giving and the community. GivingFirst is the Foundation's new online tool designed to enrich donors' knowledge about the nonprofit sector and encourage charitable giving in metropolitan Denver. The goal of GivingFirst is to INFORM donors so they can INVEST in nonprofits and have a greater IMPACT in our community.



This online resource provides vital facts about a nonprofit's management, finances, and programs and creates a detailed portrait to help donors make informed decisions about their charitable giving. GivingFirst helps connect donors with causes they care about by sharing consistent, validated data on metropolitan Denver nonprofits. LMC Community Foundation believes this program will encourage philanthropy, recognize the good work of hundreds of area nonprofits, and strengthen the nonprofit sector and the entire community.

You can make an imprint... Whenever credit card donations are made through GivingFirst, LMC Community Foundation pays the credit card processing fees, which typically are three percent per gift. This means that 100 percent of the gifts made through GivingFirst goes directly to the participating nonprofit. Additionally, in 2007, the Foundation has committed $100,000 in matching funds to participating nonprofits through GivingFirst.org at 50 cents for every dollar, up to $5,000 per participating nonprofit. You can maximize your contribution to Invest in Kids by donating online through this great new program!
