The Colorado Gives Foundation donated $20,000 to the 2024 Jeffco political issues to eliminate TABOR refunds. Free State Colorado walks through the mechanism in the video below with Natalie Menten. Major Colorado Charity Gave $20,000 to Raise Taxes & Eliminate TABOR during 2024 Election! As reported in Lakewood news, Colorado Gives also gave $5,000 to de-TABOR Lakewood. Cory Gaines reports that Colorado Gives Director Dunkin confirmed that the foundation, after a vote by their board, did donate the money. The board felt as though the donation reflected their mission. Gaines also reported that “Director Dunkin was quite emphatic in saying that no donation that comes through cogives.org or cogivesday.org is ever used, in any way, for any ballot issue or political purpose. Nor is it used by Colorado Gives for anything other than a tiny fraction to keep the donation infrastructure running.” As reported by Free State Colorado, there is no record of where the money came from to donate to the Jeffco and Lakewood de-TABOR political issue. Colorado Gives raised $54.6 million in 2024 for Colorado causes.
