EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO FEEL SAFE AT HOME.
YOUR DONOR-ADVISED-FUND (DAF) MAKES THIS POSSIBLE.
La Cocina is on a mission to eradicate childhood abuse, neglect, and the kindergarten-to-prison pipeline for Latine families in Colorado and beyond.
Why Our Work Matters With La Cocina
Over 41% of All Children Who Were Confirmed as Sexual Abuse Victims In Colorado are Latine – That Stops With Our Work.*
No child should ever need to fear monsters in their own home. Child abuse has accelerated within the Latine community of Colorado since 2020, but we’re pushing back together.
Colorado Department of Human Services, 2024. Colorado Child Welfare Outcomes 2022.
We Stand With Latine Children to Feel Safe and Seen, Especially In the Face of Legislative Uncertainty.
Family separation, systemic racism, generational trauma, and other experiences of displacement haunt Latine children across Colorado and beyond. We intentionally design cultures of social-emotional health to serve those most impacted.
We Are Reclaiming the Zero-to-Five Window for Healthier Minds In Latine Communities and Beyond.
Thanks to our work at La Cocina, young Latines are growing healthier minds, stronger relationships, and unshakable confidence from birth to age five, the most crucial neurodevelopmental window in a child’s life.
With Your Support, These Children and Families Can Finally Heal and Start Building a Better, Healthier Future.
Why Give to La Cocina Through Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?
A donor-advised fund, or DAF as it’s often called, is essentially your personal giving account to support causes and initiatives that matter to you. So, how does a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) work?
First, you put money into your DAF, much like a savings account. However, instead of earning interest, your DAF grows in impact. You get an immediate tax benefit, and you can decide at your discretion which nonprofits you want to support, like La Cocina.
By directing your DAF to La Cocina, you’re investing in children’s safety in and out of their homes, affirming services, expanded healthcare access for babies and children, and training our next generation of leaders.
DAF Benefits when you support La Cocina:
Maximize tax-savvy charitable giving that aligns with your values and financial legacy.
Directly support brighter futures for babies by investing in a woman-led organization.
Fund and champion long-term, scalable solutions for families in urgent need of safety.
Invest in affirming healthcare programs that train communities to keep children safe.
Your Donor-Advised Fund grant is more than a gift — it’s a symbol of your support as we work to help every child and their family feel safe, seen, and free
to heal for a better future.
