Critical Needs Fund

The Denver Foundation operates a Critical Needs Fund that can be activated to meet essential community needs outside of the normal course of our grantmaking.

This fund has been activated three times since its creation in 2005.  The first time was in 2005 to address dramatically rising energy costs and the resulting affect on local nonprofit organizations.  The fund was activated a second time in 2006 to meet a challenge in provision of food to schoolchildren during the summer months. 

During our current economic downturn, the fund is working to address emergency food needs for people throughout the community.
