GIVING JUST GOT EASIER!
MHYC begins new partnership with GivingFirst 
 
Mile High Youth Corps' success is due to the support of people like you who want to improve the lives of youth in our community.  We appreciate every contribution and are pleased to announce a new partnership that will allow you to learn more about how your gifts are used and to make new contributions with one click of your mouse. GivingFirst is an online fundraising tool created by the Community First Foundation.  Givingfirst.org promotes e-philanthropy throughout the Denver metro area by hosting profiles about nonprofits, including MHYC. As a MHYC supporter, you can log onto the site, learn in-depth information about us, and contribute to our cause. What's more, whenever credit card donations are made through GivingFirst.org, Community First Foundation pays the credit card processing fees.  These fees are typically 3% per gift, taking a chunk of your donation away from our services. With GivingFirst picking up the tab on these pesky processing fees, 100% of your gift will directly benefit the Corps.

From October 1 through Dec. 31, 2008, for every ten (10) donations made to MHYC through GivingFirst, our name will be placed in drawings to receive $2,500. A total of four drawings will take place, and the more donations we receive, the more chances MHYC has to win.
Please consider making a gift to Mile High Youth Corps through www.givingfirst.org and spread the word about this wonderful opportunity.
