Please donate now to make your gift to The Denver Foundation!

As the recovery from the Great Recession continues, two things are increasingly clear.  The first is that we must all work together to improve life in our community; the second is that philanthropy plays a critical role in our ability to move the needle.  We know that philanthropy is important to you, and we ask you to consider a gift to The Denver Foundation again this year.

This past year, in partnership with generous community members, we invested in programs to serve those most vulnerable in our community:  people without homes, without food, and without health care.  We have supported the arts, and helped low-income neighborhoods improve from the inside out.  Specifically, in 2011, we have accomplished the following in our efforts to strengthen Metro Denver:

  • Provided almost $5 million in responsive, peer-reviewed grants for health, human services, the arts, education, and low-income neighborhood support
  • Led the merger of four of our state’s largest HIV/AIDS service providers to streamline operations, contain costs, and improve service delivery
  • Continued our focus on hunger by providing emergency food grants; coordinating a collaboration of nonprofit food providers; and supporting advocacy efforts, school breakfast and lunch programs, and summer feeding sites for low-income families with young children
  • Connected diverse college students with local nonprofit organizations to strengthen our sector and promote inclusiveness at all levels of nonprofit leadership

We also conducted an extensive Listening Campaign to understand what people in our local community consider the most pressing issues we face today.  We’re up to the challenge that our findings produced, and we need your help to proceed.  Please make your charitable contribution today!  We accept cash, credit cards, stock, and mutual funds, and you can give online at our secure website, if you prefer (www.denverfoundation.org).

We give to the community because others have given to us for the last 86 years.  Your gift will be a direct investment in our work to improve life for everyone in Metro Denver.

Thanks for considering a gift to The Denver Foundation.  Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place.  May your new year be full of promise, health, and joy!

Sincerely,

David J. Miller
President & CEO
