Online fundraising is critical for nonprofits to successfully fulfill their missions. A recent study from the Blackbaud Institute found a 42% increase over three years in online giving, and 12% percent of total fundraising comes from online sources.

Whether organizations are just getting started fundraising online or want to take their efforts to new levels, the one-year exclusive Colorado Gives 365 capacity-building opportunity has three key components to support online fundraising growth for nonprofit through strategy development, technology and skilled volunteers to help execute projects. The opportunity is free thanks to support from the Schlessman Family Foundation.
LEVEL UP will help organizations that use ColoradoGives.org as their primary fundraising tool make the most out of the Colorado Gives 365 platform using advanced features like CRM, application integration, text-to-give, volunteer management and more. Interested applicants must be:
