End of Year Giving
The holidays are almost upon us and the Dolphin House staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and kindness through another year.
Our mission is to provide help, hope, and healing to victims of child abuse throughout the 7th Judicial District; your generosity makes that possible. As you celebrate the holidays and contemplate your end of year giving, we ask you to keep the Dolphin House children in your hearts.
We wish you all a happy and HEALTHY holiday season.

Colorado Gives Day
December 5th, 2023
More than just a day. Generous donors like you have created a movement that changes lives. You, and thousands of others like you, have made Colorado Gives Day one of the most successful giving days in the nation.
Colorado Gives Day has grown to be Colorado’s largest 24-hour giving event, raising more than $362 million for Colorado since it began in 2010.
Each December, Coloradans come together with the common goal to strengthen the community by helping to power nonprofits. Community First Foundation and FirstBank partner to make this day rewarding for givers, nonprofits and the community as a whole.
City Market
Gift Card Drive
The Dolphin House serves victims within the six counties of the 7th Judicial District. That said, the 7th Judicial District serves over 10,000 square miles of mostly high mountain valleys, making it one of the larger geographic Judicial Districts in the State.
The Dolphin House is centrally located in Montrose, however for our rural jurisdictions it can be a very large commute. If a victim and their family are from Paradox and were to travel to the Dolphin House to receive services, they would be traveling approximately 226.8 miles round trip. For some comparison from Montrose to Colorado Springs it is 235.7 miles.
The Dolphin House is able to provide mobile interviews at locations that adhere to the NCA Standards for Accredited Members and at our Satellite location in Ouray County. However due to funding, staffing, and case load, our ability to respond to our rural jurisdictions is limited.
In order to soften the burden of the travel expense to the families we serve, we offer City Market gift cards for fuel, food, and other basic needs.
They can be dropped off or mailed to The Dolphin House CAC, 735 S 1st St, Montrose, CO 81401. Or stop in at San Juan Coffeehouse, 512 E. Main St, Montrose, CO for a delicious beverage or a wonderfully crafted meal and pick up an angel from their tree.
Wishing you A
Happy and Healthy Holidays from our Staff to your Family!
