Introducing The Denver Foundation’s New Strategic Framework

The Denver Foundation’s new Strategic Framework is designed to be the guiding light for the foundation over the next decade. Rather than a static road map, it is a flexible, living document that will evolve over the next 10 years, in response to changing community needs.

As its core, the Framework affirms The Denver Foundation’s commitment to centering racial equity and prioritizing community leadership, inside and outside the organization.

This Framework presents a commitment to bringing together donors and nonprofits and facilitating meaningful interactions across those constituencies. It establishes The Denver Foundation as a core Metro Denver leader that takes a strong position on public policy and uses data to support decision-making in the region. Under this framework, The Denver Foundation’s full range of assets is directed towards the mission to create excellence in all parts of the foundation’s work.
