For the fifth year, Community First Foundation and FirstBank are partnering to present Colorado Gives Day onTuesday, December 9, 2014. Colorado Gives Day is an annual statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving. And for the first time ever, it features a $1 Million Incentive Fund created by the partners, one of the largest gives-day incentive funds in the country.
As many of you know, Live Urban Real Estate is committed to giving back to our community and we have made it our goal to give back as much as possible this year through our Live and Give Program. For every closing we have, we donate on behalf of our clients to one of four non-profits they can choose from. The four non-profits we love and are so passionate about are below and if you don't have a favorite non-profit, would highly encourage you to learn more about these four and help support them if you are able.
