This holiday season, give a gift to your communityColorado Gives Day

On December 8th, the Open Media Foundation is asking our community to log-in to GivingFirst.org, register, and make a donation to the Open Media Foundation.  Or, if you don't want to wait until the 8th, you can schedule your donation now.

To schedule your one-time donation for December 8, 2010

1.  Click here to go to OMF's Giving First Page.

2.  Enter the donation amount.

3.  "Is this a recurring donation?"  Click: Yes.  (Although you are not making a recurring donation, selecting "Yes" allows you to schedule a one-time donation in advance.)

4. "First installment date" Enter: 12/08/2010

5.  "When should this donation end?" Enter: 12/10/2010

6.  Click "Add to Cart"

All donations will be matched by FirstBank and the Community First Foundation, around 25 percent, depending on the total number donations given as a part of Colorado Gives Day. If you intended to make a donation this year or next, we ask you to take this opportunity to make your gift now to take advantage of these matching funds.

Colorado Gives Day is a new initiative to increase philanthropy in Colorado through online giving. Colorado Gives Day will take place during a 24-hour period starting at 12 a.m. on Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Donations will be accepted through the website GivingFirst.org, with a goal of raising $1 million in one day for Colorado charities.  Minimum donation is $10 and all donations are tax-deductible.

Another great way to support OMF this holiday season is to purchase a gift membership or media production class for that special someone in your life who should be on TV. Give the gift of creativity this year and support OMF in the process. If interested, please contact Ann Theis for more details.
