The Denver Post Community Foundation strives to fulfill Denver Post Community’s mission of improving and enriching the lives of those in our community by raising and distributing money to Denver area nonprofits in the areas of arts and culture; children and youth; education and literacy; and the provision of basic human services.

Season to Share focuses on alleviating poverty by funding nonprofit agencies in five guideline areas: Child/Youth Education; Hunger; Housing; Literacy; and Health/Wellness.

In-Kind Sponsorships

Denver Post Community is proud to have a long history of supporting the events and cultural institutions that define Denver. By lending support to some of the area’s top nonprofit events and organizations in their promotional and fundraising efforts, we hope to ensure that these high quality programs remain accessible to everyone in our community, both now and in the future.
