On the Extra on New Year's Eve day, host Shannon Brinias talked with guest Tim Kranz, Board Chair of the Give! Campaign about the initiative for charitable giving through donations and volunteer time as part of IndyGives.  Give! is a year-end philanthropic initiative created to encourage everyone in the Pikes Peak region to give back and get involved with local nonprofits, with a particular emphasis on catalyzing philanthropy from those 36 and younger. Since 2009, Give! has enabled 223 local nonprofits to raise $13 million from over 94,654 donations while helping them access matching grants, media exposure and capacity-building training from local and regional experts. Give! is the nonprofit civic arm of the Colorado Publishing House and receives support from the Colorado Springs Independent, Colorado Springs Business Journal and the Pikes Peak Bulletin. For more information, please visit indygive.com.  Other guests were Tonia Nifong, with the Arc of the Pikes Peak Region indygive.com/arc and Tom Shephard, founding director of the Youth Documentary Acadmy indygive.com/yda.  Tom also mentioned the Rocky Mountain PBS partnership documentary series, which can be viewed at youthdocumentary.org/ourtime.
