Which Kind of Donor Unicorn Are You?
(Slide the diamond to see!)
Heart of Community-Building Unicorn
While some people might underestimate you, you walk tall in your flower forest knowing that there is strength in numbers and it’s all about supporting your community! And besides, people also underestimated Baby Jack-Jack, and look where that got them. 😉
At this level, your gift supports things like:
- Shipping valuable resources to community-based organizations
- Up to $10 worth of overhead costs
- A small gift card for staff, advocate, or survivor appreciation
Seeds of Support Unicorn
Flowers, veggies, internal change, professional development – you know all kinds of growing are important, and you plant seeds so we all can become the best people and organizations we can be. Keep letting that light shine!

- Registration fees for staff to attend trainings

Seeker of Social Justice Unicorn
That fire in your eye is you imagining a better world that is not only possible, but necessary. When people tell you your head is in the clouds and it could never happen, you laugh and say “It’s already happening! So get on board, or we’ll trot on by!” Because as the great Janelle Monae once said, you and your comrades come in peace, but you mean business. Thank you for supporting us so we can all make a violence-free future a reality!
At this level, your gift supports things like:
- High-quality training for domestic violence advocates through our Online Learning Center
- Up to $50 in overhead costs
Appreciator of Advocates Unicorn
You know that grants don’t always fund things like public policy work, raises, cost-of-living increases, or even 100% of one person’s position. So here you and your fellow unicorns are, showering the advocacy community with love and support to cover their overhead costs. We appreciate you!
At this level, your gift supports things like:
- Parking costs around Denver for public policy meetings
- One-time cost of office supplies and remote setup for our staff to safely work during the pandemic
- Up to $100 in other overhead costs
Builder of Capacity Unicorn
You know that in anti-violence work, the learning is never over. Whether it’s reading a new book, learning bystander intervention techniques, or something else, you’re probably often found doing something to build your own capacity or to spread the learning love.
At this level, your gift supports things like:
- Preparation and delivery of a 2-hour training
- Professional development and gift cards to compensate survivors for sharing their lived experience
- Up to $250 in overhead costs
Wings of Healthy Relationships Unicorn
A truly violence-free Colorado? You’re giving it wings! From the Western slope to the Eastern Plains, the city bustle to the mountain landscapes, you know that all Coloradans need healthy relationships and that we’re only going to get there when we all work together.

- Our educational efforts through Stand Up Colorado, our violence prevention campaign

Harbinger of Flexible Funding Unicorn
What is that magnificent unknown horizon? That starry sky of limitless possibility? It’s a future of flexible funding, heralded by all our supporters, including you and your fellow harbinger unicorns. Unrestricted funding gives us the freedom and flexibility to pursue the work we know is vital to ending violence but that may not otherwise be possible due to grant restrictions. And thanks to all of you, we’re galloping straight for that new horizon.
At this level, your gift supports things like:
- Travel for one of our staff to meet member programs across Colorado to provide training
- Expert consulting, professional development, and coaching for our staff to improve capacity to support advocates and survivors
- Expansion of our violence prevention work
- Our public policy lobbyist’s efforts to raise awareness and advocate for survivors at the Capitol
- $501+ worth of overhead costs
We encourage anyone who is able to also match their gift to us with a gift to their local domestic violence organization. Find your local agency and their donation link in our map.
Learn more about the origins of this campaign here. Additionally, we want to extend a big thanks to NonprofitAF and their nonprofit unicorn names, which inspired this campaign. We also appreciate all the attention NonprofitAF brings to what it really costs to run a non-profit, and the necessity to inform funders and donors about things like overhead costs.❤️
