Foundation Mission and Focus Areas
At the Denver Post Community Foundation, our mission is to improve and enrich the lives of those in our community through support of programs focusing on:
- Arts and Culture
- Children & Youth
- Education & Literacy
- Human Services
These four pillars guide our giving and community partnerships, helping us build a stronger, more compassionate, and more vibrant community.
Arts and Culture
We believe that the arts inspire creativity, provoke thought, and build community. Through strategic support of cultural organizations, we help ensure that exhibitions, performances, and artistic opportunities are accessible to all. By nurturing creativity and expression, we bring color and connection to the lives of those in our community.
Children and Youth
Every child deserves a future full of hope and opportunity. We support programs that empower young people to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. We work with partners who provide guidance, support, and encouragement to youth every step of the way.
Education and Literacy
Education opens doors and creates lasting change. We support initiatives that provide access to quality education and build essential literacy skills, especially for underserved populations. Our commitment to education is rooted in the belief that knowledge is a catalyst for opportunity.
Human Services
When people face hardship, we’re here to help. We fund organizations that provide essential support to individuals and families struggling to meet basic needs. By investing in basic human services, we uplift those facing the greatest challenges and strengthen the safety net in our community.
Together, with our partners and supporters, the Denver Post Community Foundation is creating meaningful, lasting impact—one grant, one program, one life at a time.
