COLORADO GIVES DAY
WHEREAS, charitable giving in Eagle County, Colorado is critical to providing support that local
nonprofit organizations need to make our community a desirable place to live; and

believe it is the future of philanthropy;
WHEREAS, Community First Foundation and FirstBank have partnered in an effort to increase
charitable giving in our community through the online giving initiative Colorado Gives Day;

donation and over $2 million to Eagle County nonprofits via 4,000 individual donations at
eaglecountycoloradogives.org, a website allowing donors to direct their contributions to one or
more of the over 60 local Eagle County charities featured on the site, making it an ideal resource
for facilitating charitable giving to our locally -based nonprofit organizations.
