Funds are generated, in large part, through LHM companies and employee contributions, as well as donations from the general public through fundraising in the community. All contributions remain in the state where they were donated in order to help improve those communities. Since 1995, Larry H. Miller Charities has contributed to many organizations and worthy causes.
Larry H. Miller Charities is a nonprofit foundation functioning as the charitable arm of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies. Assistance from the foundation is directed toward groups and programs based in the communities where Miller Companies run business. While we primarily focus on issues affecting women and children, emphasizing on the health and education of under privileged children.
Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver - Funding will support the programs and operations of the newest Boys and Girls Club in Green Valley Ranch. The new club will provide after school programs to approximately 150 children and teens per year.
The Rise School of Denver - This donation will support the school's integrated therapy project to provide music, occupational, physical and speech therapy services to students, including those with developmental disabilities.
Firefly Autism - Funding will allow the organization to provide scholarships to families in need, who have children enrolled or soon to be enrolled in the autism therapy and behavioral support program. Firefly Autism's comprehensive services include clinical assessments and the development of individual treatment plans for students up to age 21, including school, home and community-based programs.
Bags of Fun - This donation will help to fund the Bags of Fun program, which aims to bring joy, laughter and relief to every child fighting a long-term or life-threatening disease or condition. The brightly-colored, cheery backpacks are filled with fun rehabilitative games and toys that are age-specific and custom built for each child.
SafeHouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence - This donation will support Safehouse's Emergency Shelter program, which provides immediate crisis intervention and safe shelter to survivors of interpersonal violence and their children. Shelter residents may stay for up to six weeks, and they receive all basic needs, counseling and advocacy services, access to a therapeutic play area and computer stations, and other services to foster self-sufficiency.
Kids Crossing - Kids Crossing is a private, nonprofit child placement agency that provides foster care and group facility care, and has served more than 250 children throughout Colorado. A tree filled with ornaments will be displayed in Larry H. Miller Liberty Toyota, and customers and employees may select an ornament and purchase the items requested on that ornament for a foster child.
Marian House - Catholic Charities of Central Colorado (Marian House) provides help and creates hope for homeless and vulnerable individuals and families in Colorado Springs. Employees of Larry H. Miller Toyota Colorado Springs will 'adopt' several families for the holidays and provide gifts and essential items.
Stuff for Students - The annual school supply drive in Colorado collects school supplies for area children in need. In 2017, the Larry H. Miller Dealerships raised close to $50,000 in school supplies which benefitted 60,000 students in Colorado.
Larry H. Miller Charities donated $10,000 to the Denver Santa Claus Shop. For three days in December, the Denver Santa Claus Shop set up a makeshift toy store, and invited parents to come and shop for donated toys for boys and girls from newborn to 11 years old. The organization depends upon a large supply of toys for children. Many toys are donated by employees, and money donations to operate and our team was thrilled to be able to help out needy kids this holiday season.
5 Weeks of Giving
The donation was presented as part of Larry H. Miller Dealerships' "5 Weeks of Giving" campaign to help positively impact the lives of Coloradans throughout the holiday season. Larry H. Miller dealership employees across Colorado presented more than $60,000 in monetary donations to various charitable programs, conducting collection drives in support of children and families, and volunteering their time in the communities they serve.
"We aim to be good citizens and community partners year-round, but we look forward to the opportunity to impact even more charitable programs, individuals and families during the holiday season," said Ray Reilly, senior vice president, Larry H. Miller Dealerships.
