FAQs
What will my donation support?
Your contributions fund the general operations of The Colorado Sun. That means: funding the reporting, editing and production of stories from every corner of our state, providing our journalists and staff a salary, benefits and the tools to do their best work and serve readers like you.
Occasionally we have special projects or options for you to direct your gift to a specific program, but unless otherwise noted, reader support is directed to the general operations and mission of The Sun.
Are there other ways to give?
You bet! In addition to cash, check and credit card donations, we accept gifts of appreciated stock, DAFs, QCDs, bequests and vehicles. You also have the option to list The Sun as a beneficiary of your insurance or other policies. Click here to read more.
