The LibertyGives Foundation is a Colorado non-profit organization formed by Liberty Media in 2007 to encourage and promote charitable giving. In 2010, the LibertyGives Foundation established a permanent theme for corporate giving: to support charities that address the needs of underprivileged youth in Colorado, with a focus on proactive and preventative services. All recipient organizations have a Liberty Media employee who is actively engaged with the entity and acts as a sponsor on its behalf.
We actively promote the values of giving and philanthropy among our employee base. Since its inception, the LibertyGives Foundation has contributed over $9.6 million to various recipient organizations. However, the reach of LibertyGives extends beyond these monetary contributions. Liberty Media employees are actively involved in the organizations for which they act as a sponsor, often through volunteer work and board representation, and this investment of time is often far more impactful than our investment of dollars. Additionally, we offer all employees a 1:1 match on charitable contributions up to a limit of $10,000 per employee per year.
In 2023:
- Contributions were made to 105 organizations.
- Donations totaled $750,000 including LibertyGives grants going to 22 organizations.
- Half of our employees participated in the Liberty Match Program, donating $175k, totaling $350,000.
- Liberty employees and contractors continue to be a huge support to Clothes to Kids, donating school supplies in the fall and coats in the winter.
- Employees raised money for and participated in the Invest In Kids Jane-A-Thon, an annual charity ski event at Winter Park.
- Urban Peak, which helps to shelter and provide services to youth experiencing homelessness in the Denver metro area, engaged employees who spent time with interested youth to cover topics that could help them seek gainful employment.
- Liberty Media’s annual Treasury Fundraiser for MOVEmber brought in over $34,000 to raise awareness for health and cancer research.
- Employees donated $7,086 to the Diana Lynn Trujillo Financial Assistance Program (DLTFAP), an initiative created by Susan G. Komen to honor Diana, a past employee of Liberty.
