Colorado Kids 1st License Plate Program
What is the Program?
The Colorado Kids 1st License Plate is a specialty plate that promotes
the health and safety of Colorado children. Every day, we are raising
awareness on Colorado roads reminding drivers to ALWAYS put kids first.
Money raised from the license plate goes directly back into the
community.
How Does it Work?
License plate purchasers give a $30 donation to Colorado Kids 1st. Kids
1st provides a certificate of eligibility. Purchasers give $50 to the
Colorado Department of Revenue. This $50 fee is standard for any
specialty plate in Colorado. The DOR uses the money to fund
transportation and road projects that help us drive more safely.
Kids 1st uses the $30 to grow the Colorado Kids 1st Fund. The Kids 1st
Fund gives grants to worthy organizations who are keeping Colorado kids
healthy and safe.
Why Did RMRPI Create This Program?
The Colorado Kids 1st license plate was Dr. Lisa’s brainchild to promote
public awareness and become a sustainable funding source for RMRPI’s
grant recipients.
Getting government approval for the license plate took four years of
legislative sessions. Through the dedication of Dr. Lisa, and with the
help of Senator Paula Sandoval and Representative Jack Pommer, the Colorado Kids 1st plate finally
became a reality in 2007.
The license plate raises funds to support local safety and health
projects in two ways. The plate is available to approved non-profits as
a fund-raising project with a portion of the proceeds going directly to
the local organization. Secondly, Colorado organizations can apply for
grants from RMRPI. The grants, which are given on an on-going basis, are
meant to fund programs that promote safety and prevent injury in
Colorado children.
