Charity Auction

Charity is very important to us at Colorado Anime Fest, we’re a family. We generally focus on local charities that directly help our community in the Denver metro area. Charity representatives attend COAF in-person to help attendees learn more about what they do.

We’re proud that our auction items are often rare and very hard to find—worth saving up for all year long! We procure items from around the world and are grateful for any donations received.

Charity has been a priority for us beginning with our first year. Since 2016, we’ve donated over $63,502 to worthy causes.

Silent Auction: Runs the entirely of the convention in the Charity room (Lupine). Bidders will write their badge number and bid amount on the sheets provided. Auction will end on Sunday at 2pm, and the final bid will win the item! WINNER MUST BE PRESENT or it will move to the next present winner.

Live Auction: Our live auction will have a sign up feature this year, which only requires a badge number and paddle number (that you will receive before the auction). Once through our quick registration, you can bid to your heart's desire during the event and pay afterwards for your winnings. Must show badge number as proof before final payment can be taken. We encourage you to preregister in the charity room before the Live Auction, but you may also register at the event.

Our 2026 Charity:

Animal Rescue of the Rockies

Animal Rescue of the Rockies is a 501(c)3 non profit Colorado corporation. Organized in 2003 by a group of friends who wanted to provide an alternative to shelter environments, A.R.R. has served this vision well. They’ve successfully provided foster homes and subsequent permanent homes to over 10,000 dogs and cats to date. They work with foster homes to give homeless pets the chance to socialize in a home environment. This gives them the advantage of transitioning to their new forever homes much more easily and quickly.

A.R.R. also works with other rescue groups in Colorado and surrounding states. They help with transport, fostering, and adoptions whenever they can. Foster homes are always needed, and pets are waiting in shelters daily for people like you to open your hearts and homes to save their lives. They would love to have you join their lifesaving team.  If you’re interested in helping, please email them at:  admin@arrcolorado.org or fill out one of their foster or adoption applications today!
