How to start a JFS fundraiser on Facebook or Instagram
Did you know that Facebook and Instagram let users create fundraisers to raise money for nonprofit organizations, like JFS? Whether you want to celebrate a birthday, honor a loved one, or do a good deed in your community, you can help JFS make the greatest impact for the greater good when you create a fundraiser. And because your friends are already using social media, it’s a low-fuss, high-impact way to support JFS!
How becoming a monthly donor benefits you and JFS
Monthly gifts to JFS help create a steady funding source for the critical programs and services our clients rely on to succeed. When you become a monthly donor, you allow us to invest in impactful and innovative programming for future generations and enable us to be more flexible and responsive when crises occur.
We appreciate you!
Whether you gave to our Dorinda Levy Thanksgiving Fund, supported Colorado Gives Day, participated in our Adopt a Family Bright Holidays gift program, or were a Secret Shopper and provided gifts to local individuals and families, we thank you. Your incredible generosity brought joy and light to our community. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your support and willingness to help those who need us most.
Bright Holidays
You can bring light and joy to those we serve by participating in this year’s Bright Holidays program. Sponsor an individual or family’s personal wish list, donate gift cards or make a monetary donation to the program.
It’s not too late to make an impact in 2023
Why not close out the year by participating in something meaningful? JFS has several donation opportunities; we’re positive that one will resonate with you. You can support us and make the greatest impact for the greater good when you help our clients enjoy Thanksgiving meals, receive holiday presents, or make a donation for Colorado Gives Day or during our year-end campaign.
Doing good in our community
If you’re looking for a way to commemorate a special occasion by giving back to your community or simply wanting to help those in need, you’re in luck! We’ve created three service project toolkits with everything you need to make getting involved in your community easy. We also have suggestions about other ways to get involved and make a difference to those who need a little extra support.
Shop and Support JFS
Did you know that every time you buy milk or fill your gas tank at King Soopers, you can support JFS? That’s right. Your weekly shopping can help those who rely on JFS. If you’re looking for a simple, convenient way to help JFS by doing what you usually do at no additional cost to you, we’ve got a program to share with you!
Monthly Giving Benefits You and Our Neighbors
Did you know that monthly gifts to JFS help create a steady source of funding for the vital programs and services our clients rely on to succeed?
Planned giving and how it can benefit you and JFS
Planned gifts can be funded through cash, equity, or property, and they allow you to give what is typically the most significant gift you’ll be able to make to an organization. Some planned gifts enable you to receive life-long income, while others use estate and tax planning avenues to provide for nonprofits in ways that minimize the taxes on your estate.
Make a difference every month
People donate to JFS for all sorts of reasons—perhaps it’s to honor a person who made a difference in their life, or they want to be a part of something meaningful. Whatever the motivation, our donors are part of a community that shapes JFS’s future and helps meet the challenges facing 21st century Coloradans.
Erase the need with backpacks and supplies—it’s a school thing
All kids should start the school year with the supplies they need to help them be successful in school—and you can help them thrive.
As the cost of living increases and caregivers struggle to afford school supplies, you can help JFS provide more than 400 backpacks filled with school supplies to kids at our Lunchbox Express program sites! Donating $50.00 provides all the essentials for kids’ first day of school, including a backpack. You have the power to help boost confidence, promote learning, and encourage success for students in our community—and show them we’ve got their backs!
Help shape the future of JFS
Thanks to the vision and substantial commitment of those who came before us, JFS has evolved to meet the needs of those who rely on us most for 150 years. Without their support and generosity, JFS would not be the vital resource it is today. Now, we hope it’s time for you to consider your legacy.
