Colorado Gives Day may be behind us, but the season of giving is far from over—and there’s still time to make a meaningful difference for children and families across Colorado before the year ends.
At Illuminate Colorado, our Give the Gift of Hope campaign continues through December 31, and every gift you make this month helps strengthen families, support parents, and build safer, more connected communities. Hope grows when we invest in prevention, and your generosity helps families with the support they need, exactly when they need it.
Your Gift Creates Real, Measurable Impact
Your donation fuels evidence-based programs, community education, advocacy, and statewide partnerships that all work together to prevent child maltreatment. From home visiting to caregiver support groups to training professionals across the state, your gift helps ensure every family can thrive.
If you’d like to see the impact in action, you can explore real stories from families and partners whose lives have been strengthened by Illuminate Colorado.
Give Before December 31 and Enjoy a Significant Tax Benefit
Your year-end donation does more than support Colorado families—it can also reduce your tax burden in a substantial way.
Donations to Illuminate Colorado are eligible for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit, which provides a 50% credit on Colorado state income taxes for qualifying monetary gifts.
That means if you give $200, you may receive a $100 credit back on your state taxes—making your generosity go even further.
This credit is in addition to standard state and federal charitable deductions, making December the perfect time to maximize both your impact and your benefits.
Your Hope. Your Impact. Your Colorado.
The end of the year invites reflection on what we’ve accomplished, what still needs to be done, and how we can continue to build communities where every child is safe, supported, and able to grow.
When you choose to Give the Gift of Hope, you’re helping us build that future.
You’re investing in:
-
- Stronger families
- Better outcomes for children
- Healthier, more connected communities
- A Colorado where all children thrive
Your generosity matters—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
There’s Still Time to Make Your Gift
Join us in continuing this important work through the end of the year. Donate and give the gift of hope!
