As we celebrate 100 years of impact, we reflect on the remarkable growth and generosity that have shaped our journey. We have awarded $1.5 billion in grants to nonprofits across the Denver Metro region and beyond. We have also received $2.1 billion in gifts from generous donors and fundholders. Our assets grew from the initial $1,000 gift to $1.3 billion.
Since 2001, we have supported 13,060 unique grantees and helped 1,562 fundholders with their giving. We have also grown the Fund for Denver, our permanent endowment to $207 million thanks to 1,493 individual donations.
Philanthropy, at its heart, is generosity. Giving of time and talent is philanthropy, just as much as giving money. We envision a world where everyone can see themselves as a philanthropist, and where everyone has a say in how their charity shapes the future.
These milestones demonstrate the ongoing commitment of our community to driving meaningful change. During the next century and beyond we will continue to meet the ever-changing needs of our city.
