How To Help
Thank you for deciding to support Sense of Security
Your generosity will help us provide monthly support to Coloradans living with breast cancer during their treatment.
We help pay for basic, non-medical expenses like housing, transportation, utilities and groceries for our grantees by provided up to $500 a month directly to the vendors selected by the grantee.
The only time we send funds directly to a grantee is when they request grocery and transportation support, then we send them a $500 King Soopers Gift card which can be used for either expense.
YOU make our grants possible and the help you provide our grantees is enormously appreciated!

Other Ways to Give
Planned Giving/Bequests
Those unable to make a major gift to their favorite charity during their lifetimes can easily do so through their estates. Most legacy gifts are made through wills, living trusts, beneficiary designations on IRAs, 401(k)s, and other financial and investment instruments.
The donation of a legacy gift fulfills your philanthropic wishes that costs nothing during your lifetime. Best of all, you and your loved ones benefit from present-day gift planning, allowing donors to make an impact while fulfilling their charitable goals.
Many individuals and families here in Colorado give back to the community by making a legacy gift—a charitable gift made from your estate or financial planning—to Sense of Security. It’s a great way to create a legacy and express your spirit of philanthropy. Planned gifts such as stocks, real and personal property, interests and assets of value can provide a variety of benefits for you:
- Fulfill your charitable goals
- Reduce your taxes
- Increase your income
- Avoid estate tax
- Design a charitable gift to reflect your special interests
Leave a legacy of hope and opportunity today for a brighter future
With thoughtful planning, you create a win-win for you and for the community, leaving a legacy of hope and opportunity today for a brighter future for many generations to come.
