Memorial Gifts

Some people create special funds for tributes and memorials. Contributions may also be made to existing funds in order to:
  • honor a living person
  • memorialize deceased persons
  • commemorate anniversaries or other special events

You can also use this giving option to:

  • create a scholarship fund acknowledging the contributions of a retiring teacher
  • engage a civic group in creating an emergency relief fund for a disaster
  • support the favorite charities of a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary
  • create a youth program that keeps the memory of a deceased child

Many people like to give to the Foundation's Community Endowment Fund to honor or memorialize someone. And if you choose, we can notify the appropriate person about your gift.

The Community Endowment Fund helps meet the changing needs of Metro Denver. Thousands of people have given to this fund since 1925. Earnings from this fund are distributed through our Community Grants Program.
