Centennial Celebration


January 1, 2025

The Denver Foundation’s 100th anniversary in 2025 marks more than just the passage of time. It symbolizes the strength, resilience, and unity of our community. It is a testament to the power of innovation, collaboration, and the dedication of multiple generations to build a thriving Colorado and beyond.

This anniversary represents our stability and adaptability, and the trust that has been placed in us as the first community foundation in Metro Denver. Most importantly, it symbolizes your generosity – and the generosity of the thousands of volunteers, donors, community partners, and fundholders who have made it possible to lift up this community for past and future generations.

We are celebrating the past century in a variety of ways, and we hope to see you all at an event, volunteering with us, or out in the community. There will be many ways to engage, and many opportunities to join us in shaping a bold new future. We also invite you to visit our new 100th anniversary web page, which includes a comprehensive timeline of some of the most important people, places, and partnerships of the past century.

While there is much to admire and reflect upon, we will not be resting on the accomplishments of the past. We view this as an opportunity to forge new paths, create new partnerships, and innovate new strategies that we hope the next generations of Coloradoans can celebrate, 100 years from now.

Thank you for your many contributions and continued support.
