Community is defined by a group of people who live in the same place and share common goals. One of the fastest growing types of philanthropic organizations are community foundations, who use the energy of their community to address these goals.

The Denver Foundation listens to both its donors and
recipients of its charity. They recognize that Denver
residents want all of their neighbors to have access basic
needs, such as employment and economic opportunity,
access to food, shelter, and health care. And, all Denver
children should be able to have a high-quality education for
their children.
