Make a Donation
You’ve heard the phrase, follow the money, right?
If you follow the money donated by individuals, organizations, foundations and churches, you’ll see a direct connection to the smile of a young child awaiting a dinner they might otherwise skip. Or a newly arrived immigrant’s relief at receiving their Colorado ID card.
Donations make up nearly 37% of DICP’s total budget
We believe that any money not directly funding our programs should be spent in a restrained and frugal manner. The best charities to donate to show transparency in their annual reports.
Donations are where the rubber meets the road and where mission statements materialize.
Every donation, no matter the frequency or amount, is put immediately to use in one of our seven program areas and ensures dedicated staff resources are allocated.
We are responsible stewards of your donations
