How to help Boulder shooting victims

A nonprofit organization with ties to the state opened a special account to help support the Boulder shooting victims and their families.

Why it matters: The Colorado Healing Fund — started in 2018 with a $1 million donation from the state attorney general's office — offers a secure method to donate.

• The fund sends money it collects to community partners, including the Colorado Organization of Victim Assistance, who offer money for direct support.
• The fund received more than 100 individual donations in the first 24 hours, officials reported.

How to give:

• Donate online through Colorado Gives at ColoradoHealingFund.org.
• Checks and in-person donations accepted at FirstBank locations. (Designate donations to "victims account.")
