Tuesday December 6

The APS Foundation is excited to announce that Colorado Gives Day is set for Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022!

For 24 hours, Colorado comes together to raise funds for local nonprofits, and we’re excited to be a part of the day! On Colorado Gives Day, we’ll be celebrating and fundraising for APS students. We invite you to join us by helping to share the news and invite your family, friends and your personal network to participate in this giving holiday. Every gift is tax-deductible and helps us reach our goal of $20,000 to support more APS students. We are working to make possibility a reality for every student; this day of giving is one way you can be a part of the work!

You can schedule your Colorado Gives Day gift here today!

We are excited to partner with Academy Roofing, who is matching all donations, dollar per dollar, up to $10,000! We look forward to having you join us for this special campaign. Together, we can create more opportunities for APS students!
