Give Real Change

Help curb panhandling 

The Give Real change campaign encourages charitable giving to help those in need. The initiative encouragesGive Real Change sign community members to donate to Aurora's homelessness programs via Spirit of Aurora—a resident-founded, longtime nonprofit that funds various city and local community programs— rather than giving directly to individuals soliciting money. The campaign aims to support those in need in a meaningful way that fosters long-term change toward self-sufficiency and advocates for public safety on busy intersections impacting drivers and those soliciting money. 


Campaign messaging will be promoted across the city's digital platforms, newslettersAuroraTV, and on signs placed on busy intersections and medians across the city.
