Set up Legacy Planned Giving

Legacy Planned Giving with Colorado Cross-Disability (CCDC) gives you a unique opportunity to leave a personal legacy of social justice for people with disabilities in Colorado. Our Legacy Planned Giving platform was established to give individuals and families the opportunity to support CCDC with a future gift that will ensure the continuation of our work for the generations that will come after us. Your Legacy Planned Giving is a statement of hope, a reflection of your  belief in advancing social change through programs provided by CCDC, and a powerful way to strengthen CCDC’s mission.

There are a couple different ways you can set up Legacy Planned Giving to CCDC. The first and simplest way to sign up for Legacy Planned Giving is to list “Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition” as a beneficiary in your life insurance policy or retirement account. This process is expense-free, and your gift will not have to go through any court system to be distributed. Second, you can name “Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition” in your will or trust. Gifts in your will may include mutual funds, stocks, real estate, vehicles or cash, to name a few. We advise you to consult with your financial or estate planner to determine the best method for you to support the mission of CCDC.

The Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and our Federal Tax ID Number is 74-2564419.
If you decide to include Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition in your plans, please let us know by contacting our Development Director at ddirector@ccdconline.org or calling us at 303-839-1775. If you let us know your intentions, this will give us a chance to acknowledge your generosity. Thank you for making the meaningful decision to partner with CCDC.

Participate in the Vehicles for Change program

If you have an old car, RV, or even a motorcycle, CCDC can accept it as a donation through a program called Vehicles for Change. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are donating a vehicle under your name and you are a recipient of ANY public services, please contact ddirector@ccdconline.org before you begin. We want to ensure your benefits will not be affected.

You can find more information at this website: https://www.vehiclesforcharity.org/Donate/COCD.html If you have any additional questions, please contact us at 303-839-1775 or ddirector@ccdconline.org for more information.

How does the Vehicles for Change program work?

  • Complete the online form at www.vehiclesforcharity.org or call 1-866-628-2277.
  • Your information is sent to the tow company, who will call you to schedule the FREE pick up.

As a donor, what do I need before I can donate?

  • A title to the vehicle with your name listed in the owner’s section, without an assignment or transfer to another person. All liens must be released prior to donating the vehicle.
  • You will need the information listed on the title and current mileage when you call or fill out the online form.
  • And of course the car keys!
  • Vehicles for Change will tow the vehicle (whether it’s running or not) for you.

What do they do with the vehicles?

  • The vehicles are taken to an auction and sold to the highest bidder.

Will I receive a tax deduction for my donation?

  • Absolutely! The IRS allows you to claim a tax deduction depending on the sale price of your vehicle.
  • CCDC will mail or email a letter recognizing your donation. Use the letter along with the receipt for your tax purposes.

Put your groceries to work with the King Soopers/City Market Community Rewards Program

You can support the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition through the King Soopers or City Market Community Rewards Program. When you connect your grocery store loyalty card to CCDC, we will automatically receive a portion of the proceeds from your total purchase! You can shop for groceries and support CCDC at the same time – it’s that easy!

To use the King Soopers or City Market Community Rewards Program:

  • You will need a King Soopers or City Market loyalty card; if you don’t have one, they are available at the customer service desk at any King Soopers or City Market for FREE, and they give you discounts on hundreds of products throughout the store.
  • Then, go to either http://www.kingsoopers.com or http://www.citymarket.com, whichever is appropriate.
  • Either create an account using quick, basic information, or log into your existing King Soopers or City Market account.
  • Click the “My Account” icon in the upper right corner of the screen. 
  • Scroll down about halfway through the page, and find the button labeled, “Community Rewards.”
  • Click on “View Community Rewards.”
  • Search for CCDC there; they have us listed as “Colorado Cross Disability Organization,” or you can use the NPO code IC213 and then click Enroll. 
  • Then, when you go grocery shopping and you’re at the checkout lane, swipe your King Soopers or City Market loyalty card or use the phone number associated with your registered loyalty card. REMEMBER, purchases will not count towards CCDC until after you register your loyalty card, and you must use your loyalty card when you make purchases for the nonprofit you’ve chosen to benefit.

Moving forward, each time you use your loyalty card, a portion of the proceeds from your total purchase will go directly to CCDC to support our work!
