2024 Give Campaign wrap-up: $831,000 awarded to local nonprofits
(PIKES PEAK REGION, Colo.) — The 2024 Give Campaign has officially wrapped up, marking an exciting year of generosity and impact.
On Jan. 3, the campaign concluded with a Check Celebration, where $831,000 was awarded to 64 nonprofit organizations making a difference in our community. Victoria Norton, Executive Director for Give! Pikes Peak shared on FOX21's Loving Living Local how these funds will benefit local organizations.
The Give Campaign allows nonprofits to earn extra funds through partnerships and challenges from donors. This year's competitions, sponsored by groups like the Tiemens Foundation, Bristol Brewery Growlers, and Social Media Innovators, were very successful. These events encouraged friendly competition and helped raise significant funds for the participating nonprofits.
Victoria said, 'This year, we saw an impressive increase in young donors, with 14% of donors now under the age of 35, up from just 9% last year. To support this growth, we launched the Family Give Guide, helping parents engage their children in meaningful conversations about the importance of giving back.'
The Give 2025 Campaign is approaching, with applications opening this spring. Interested organizations can subscribe to the newsletter for important updates at givepikespeak.org.

Bitget Protection Fund Surges over 140% Since Inception Hits All Time High of $725M
VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has released a May 2025 report for its user security fund called the Protection Fund, which hit a new peak valuation of $725.1 million in May, marking its highest level since inception. The fund, designed to safeguard user assets in extreme market conditions, showed steady growth throughout the month, with an average monthly valuation of $673.5 million. Originally launched with a $300 million reserve, the fund has grown by over 140%, aligned with the appreciation of BTC holdings and Bitget's strategic focus on market insurance. The fund's value fluctuates in accordance with the price of Bitcoin, with May's performance boosted by BTC trading above $110,000 on multiple occasions. Graph of Bitget Protection Fund Valuation in May 2025 This level of capital reserve positions Bitget among the top exchanges globally in terms of user asset security through on-chain protection mechanisms. As volatility continues to define the broader crypto environment, the rise in fund valuation serves as a key signal of resilience. The increase shows the effectiveness of holding reserves in BTC and the confidence in the long-term fundamentals of the asset. Bitget continues to publicly disclose regular snapshots of the Protection Fund wallet to maintain transparency. The reserve remains untouched and unleveraged, offering users a layer of reassurance against incidents such as platform breaches, asset freezes, or unforeseen events affecting trading integrity. Launched in 2022 with an initial allocation of $300 million, the Protection Fund has more than doubled in size, bolstered by Bitget's steady platform growth and smart financial management. Bitget's security framework is built on a comprehensive, multi-layered approach that goes well beyond its multi-million dollar Protection Fund and over 100% Proof of Reserves. With monthly Merkle Tree audits verifying full asset backing and ISO 27001:2022 certification asserting best-in-class protocols, the platform integrates SSL encryption and an advanced risk control system that actively monitors suspicious activity. This combination of rigorous standards and real-time protection has kept Bitget breach-free since 2018 and contributed to its AAA security rating and helped reinforce user confidence to set a benchmark for transparency across the industry. With institutional and retail attention on risk management intensifying, the growing scale of Bitget's Protection Fund is an integral part of the platform's strength.
