Amp the Cause is a nonprofit organization that raises funds, awareness, and provides volunteerism for organizations serving children and their families in Colorado through annual events and community service projects. We support these organizations so they can focus on critical needs such as staffing and programming.
Holidays for Kids
Each December, Holidays For Kids brings joy to over 1,800 local children from Title 1 schools. The event provides children with the ultimate holiday party, complete with arts and crafts, balloon artists, face painters, lunch, a visit with Santa and a backpack full of books and presents! In 2017, Amp the Cause volunteers wrapped over 29,000 presents for 2,139 children, with a total giveback of $377,611.38! Thank you to the 1,216 volunteers whose dedication made these events possible.
Aurora Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, STEM Launch School, Ricardo Flores Magon Academy, and Tennyson Center for Children
Over the years of Holidays for Kids, we have been able to increase the amount of giveback, volunteers involved, and number of schools that we are able to support, making this past year our biggest.
Community Day
Community Day allows nonprofits to spend their budgets on critical areas like programming and staffing to help the children and families they serve. 2018’s Community Day was a huge success, contributing a combined $525,870.19 in labor, supplies, and monetary donations to our 50 beneficiaries in Denver. Amp the Cause’s volunteers generated a combined 4,206 hours over the course of a single, six-hour day. Community Day is a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to give back to their community and learn more about local nonprofits. Teams of volunteers will go out to 50+ sites and participate in various facility improvement projects, including: landscaping, indoor and outdoor painting, general cleaning, and other facility improvement tasks.
Each year we serve over 50 child and family-focused nonprofits in the Denver Metro area.
Each year this turnkey event gives local nonprofits the necessary supplies and connections with volunteers to augment their budgets and perform necessary facility improvement projects. In 2017, our giveback was just over a million dollars.
