About Colorado Helping Hub 501(c)3 #85-3265595
Colorado Helping Hub is based in Parker, CO, and focuses our efforts in Douglas, Elbert, and Arapahoe Counties. We help identify needs in our community and assist in connecting those needs to financial resources, volunteers with a unique skillset to help, or other Nonprofit Organizations that are better suited to help. We do this through 2 primary ways:
- Programs - we offer both Year-Round Programs and Seasonal Programs. Volunteers are an integral part of these programs.
- Campaigns - as the needs arise, we’ll run need-specific fundraising Campaigns, similar to a GoFundMe campaign, with 2 main differences: 1) all donations are tax deductible for the Donors, and 2) the identity of the Recipient can be kept confidential throughout the process per the Recipient’s preference.
