A group of Black men came together with The Denver Foundation to start our first giving circle, which was also our first giving circle for communities of color, and the first African-American male giving circle in Colorado and the West.
They created the Denver African-American Philanthropist (DAAP) giving circle as an intentional space for Black philanthropists to direct how they are investing and how funds are distributed to the communities they seek to support. DAAP has granted more than $112,000 to 29 unique organizations.
Since 2012, the Giving Circle movement has greatly expanded, adding the Colorado Asian American Pacific Islander Circle and LatinasGive! to name a few. (learn more)
