Live Here, Give Here!
Get Cool Rewards
get swag here!

While giving is - and should be - its own reward, we have added some exciting twists to get you into an especially charitable frame of mind to support one or more worthy local Pikes Peak nonprofits selected by our broad-based community steering committee. This fun feature is made possible by more than two dozen local businesses and individuals.

Fine Print: Reward packages will be digital this year. Immediately after check out, you'll get a blue "DOWNLOAD YOUR REWARDS" button. Click on it to download a PDF of your reward package to your desktop. If you are not ready to download your rewards at that time, your e-receipt will have a link to go back to them. Most rewards must be used by February 29, 2012, but a few have later expiration dates. Rewards may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Except as otherwise provided herein, rewards ARE transferable, And YES! they do make great end of year holiday gifts!

 

Any reward followed by an * is an event. If you are interested in attending that event, you'll just need to return the reward coupon (as noted on the coupon) before Jan. 15, 2012 and we'll send you a formal invitation and RSVP instructions.

Diabetes Community Center featured on Fox 21

Some Give! alumni have told us the best thing about their participation in Give! wasn’t the additional funding they raised — what they really prized was the chance to learn how to market themselves to local media.

Not that you shouldn’t support the Diabetes Community Center with your time and dollars anyway, but look at them tearing it up on FOX21! They’re one of the smallest, newest nonprofits featured in Give! this year, but they definitely know how to make an impact. Great job, guys!
