FRISCO \u2014 Summit County nonprofits beat their goal and raised $373,092 Tuesday, Dec. 10, during Colorado Gives Day, according to The Summit Foundation Director of Events and Marketing Taryn Power.<\/p>\n

County nonprofits aimed to raised $350,000 this year after collecting about $430,000 in 2018 and $357,000 in 2017. This year, there were 1,942 donations that went to 43 local organizations, Power said.<\/p>\n

The Summit Foundation, one of more than 120 nonprofits in the area, bested its $45,000 goal for the day. The money raised accounts for about 10% of the organization\u2019s annual fundraising.<\/p>\n

Jones said the money would go into the community foundation\u2019s general fund, allowing it to offer more scholarships and grants to other nonprofits in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority of the money that we fundraise does end up going back into the community,\u201d Power said.<\/p>\n

The Family & Intercultural Resource Center raised $35,000 Tuesday. That combines with a $40,000 match from an anonymous donor for a total of $75,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019re really excited and super grateful for the community support,\u201d Resource Center Executive Director Brianne Snow said. \u201cObviously, we could not do this without them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across the state, $39.6 million was donated to 2,569 nonprofits, according to coloradogives.org. Summit County collected about 1% of that total, earning about $9,420 from a $1 million match put up across the state by Community First, a First Bank nonprofit.<\/p>\n

Also Tuesday, more than $7,000 was raised for the Ken Jones memorial fund. The Summit Fire & EMS firefighter died Saturday<\/a> after falling from the roof of a condo building where a fire was burning. The memorial fund held at The Summit Foundation has raised more than $20,000 in four days, according to Power.<\/p>\n
