Make a Donation
We believe cost should never be a barrier to justice. Your donation ensures all TJP services, mental health support, legal advocacy, court accompaniment, community nights, and our food pantry, remain completely free to youth and families navigating systems designed to fail them. You can give a one-time gift or set up a monthly recurring donation, whichever works best for you.
Join the Monarch Circle
No young person should face the legal system alone. Monarch Circle members give monthly, so TJP can say yes when a family calls, month after month. Right now, Colorado Gives Foundation will match the first $100 of any new monthly gift, while its $250,000 statewide match fund lasts.
The Transformative Justice Project of Colorado is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 27-2021425). Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Driven2Donate
TJP now accepts vehicle donations through our partnership with Driven2Donate, created by Step Denver. Your car, truck, or motorcycle donation supports our work dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline while also benefiting Step Denver’s addiction recovery programs for men. Double the community impact with one donation.

Food Pantry
Tony’s Food Pantry provides food and household essentials, completely free, to any family in our community who needs support. Learn how to donate, volunteer, or see our current needs list.
Cy Pres
After class action settlements or trials, the money that is ordered to remedy the harm is often left undistributed or unrecovered. Cy Pres allows for these funds to be distributed to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (like TJP) to support work the indirectly benefits the members of that class. If you have questions or would like to nominate TJP as a Cy Pres award recipient, please contact our Executive Director of Communications and Court Advocacy at erin@tjpcolorado.org.
