You don't have to wait until Colorado Gives Day to donate to your favorite nonprofit -- but the December 4 event is a handy way to remember to do it before the end of the year, during what we like to think of as the season of giving. If you don't have a favorite charity in mind, this is also a chance to explore what's out there -- and there are hundreds of good causes participating that count on donations to make things happen right here in your own community.

And it does make a difference: Nearly all nonprofits on board for Colorado Gives Day see annual increases in donations.

To find out more about the causes, go to the Colorado Gives Day 2012 website and research the different nonprofits. You can schedule a pledge in advance, or go back after midnight when the drive is under way and do it live. The following video explains how to donate online.

Here's another option: Five local nonprofits -- Swallow Hill Music, Smart-Girl, Assistance League of Denver, the Greenway Foundation and the Bridge Project -- are joining forces tomorrow evening from 4 to 6 p.m. at Swallow Hill for a philanthropic, "give where you live" awareness-raising celebration with live music, noshing and door prizes. Visit the Facebook event page for details.
