End-of-Year Giving: Make a Monumental Impact this Holiday Season
Your support makes a difference!
We’re sharing 5 ways you can make a monumental impact this holiday season.
As the year draws to a close, we’re excited to share the many ways you can support the Colorado National Monument Association (CNMA) and help us continue our work in preserving this beautiful landscape for generations to come. Whether you’re looking for opportunities to give on key dates, shop for the holidays, or simply make a difference through year-end contributions, there are options for everyone.
5 ways to make a monumental impact this season:
1. Colorado Gives Day – December 10th
Colorado Gives Day is one of the biggest giving days of the year, and CNMA is thrilled to be part of it once again! Scheduled for December 10, this 24-hour event boosts each donation with a portion of the $1 million Incentive Fund, making every dollar go further in support of CNMA’s mission. Early giving is already underway, so you don’t have to wait to make your gift.
Donate now and until December 10th through our Colorado Gives page!
2. Giving Tuesday – December 3rd
On December 3rd, join the global movement of Giving Tuesday and support CNMA! This is a wonderful opportunity to kick off the holiday season by giving back and making a direct impact on the monument. Every contribution to CNMA helps us fund vital programs, educational outreach, and conservation efforts, ensuring the monument remains a place of beauty and learning for all.
Make a donation on December 3rd to participate in Giving Tuesday.
3. Matching Grant with Western Colorado Community Foundation
This year, your donation to CNMA can go twice as far! We’re proud to partner with the Western Colorado Community Foundation on a matching grant campaign that will double every dollar raised, up to $60,000, through December 31. It’s an incredible opportunity to amplify your impact—supporting everything from educational programming to resource stewardship at the monument.
