Our 2025 Ten-For-CoCoRaHS Year-End Fundraiser has begun! Please consider making a $10 donation. Matching gifts available!
The beginning of December traditionally heralds the start of our annual CoCoRaHS year-end fundraiser. This significant event occurs once a year and accounts for approximately one-third of our operating budget. We thank all of you who have donated in the past and those who might consider making a gift this year for the first time. Our goal is $300,000 by January 11th. It's ambitious, but with your help, we have a good chance to achieve it. We are hoping for many first-time donors this year. CoCoRaHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit network. Click here to DONATE We also have over $100,000 in matching funds available via "challenge matches" offered by over 80 CoCoRaHS observers who will match your gift up to a certain amount in many areas of the country. The list is available on the donation portal near the bottom of the page. It is a great way to double your gift.
We are offering a special thank-you gift to all who donate $75 or more. This year, it is our CoCoRaHS "snowstorm" t-shirt, and it's rather striking. An indigo t-shirt with streaming white snowflake graphics. A long-sleeved version is available for donations of $125 or more (you can still choose a short-sleeved shirt instead). Shirts are mailed out a few weeks after your donation is received.
For those who wish to send in their donation by postal mail, click here to download a form. Due to the large volume of mail, these donations will process more slowly than online ones. Please remember to put "CoCoRaHS" in the memo field and mail to: CSU Foundation, P.O. Box 1870, Fort Collins, CO 80522.
You can view our fundraising page at any time (no donation required) throughout the campaign to stay up to date on how we are doing. It shows a bar graphic with information on the number of supporters and the amount raised so far. Please follow along with us on our journey in the weeks ahead. Thanks for your consideration and observations throughout the year,
The CoCoRaHS Headquarters Team

Hilberg's Tips -- Measuring and Reporting Total Snow and Ice on the GroundI've had a few questions on how to report total snow on the ground when there are large patches of bare ground. If there is any natural snow on the ground at observation time (i.e. not man-made piles from shoveling, etc.) then you should report the Total Depth of Snow and Ice on the Ground (old snow plus any new snow) every day there is snow on the ground. The total depth of snow on the ground is reported to the nearest half-inch. If less than 50 percent of the ground is covered with snow, then report the total snow depth as a Trace, and a Trace should be reported each day until the snow has melted, assuming there is no new snow. Review this short CoCoRaHS animation for more information: TOTAL DEPTH
