- How will Craig use the money raised on Colorado Gives Day?
-
The money Craig raises on Colorado Gives Day will go into the Craig Hospital Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund. The fund supports the Craig programs in greatest need, including programs that insurance does not cover, but make Craig Hospital a special place of hope and healing. These programs include Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research, the Patient Assistance Fund, Therapeutic Recreation, Adaptive Driving, Community Reintegration, Music Therapy, the PEAK Center and many more. Colorado Gives Day contributions provide the hospital with the most flexibility in addressing the particular needs of the institution.
- Why should I encourage my followers to give on Dec. 8, instead of other days?
-
Because of the $1 Million incentive fund!
Community First Foundation and FirstBank each contributed $500,000 to create a $1 Million Incentive Fund, one of the largest in the country! It increases the value of every donation proportionally.
Here's how it works: If Craig Hospital receives 10 percent of the total amount of money raised on Colorado Gives Day, Craig receives 10 percent of the $1 Million Incentive Fund.
