Community First Foundation (formerly LMC Community Foundation)
has created a new online tool designed to enrich donors' knowledge
about the nonprofit sector and encourage charitable giving in metropolitan
Denver. All credit card donations to the Action Center are made
through GivingFirst and Community First Foundation pays the credit
card processing fees, which typically are three percent per gift.
This means that 100 percent of gifts made through GivingFirst.org
goes directly to the Action Center!
