The Denver Children’s Foundation (DCF) is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit comprising more than 100 young men who volunteer a substantial amount of time to raise money on behalf of disadvantaged, at-risk youth in our local community. Our mission targets underserved youth in the most marginalized segments of our community. Almost 85% of the youth supported through our grants live in low income or poverty conditions, represent communities of color, and suffer disproportionately from the effects of social, health, education, and economic disparities. Our members are called to action to help improve low rates of educational attainment, lack of health care access, high rates of abuse and neglect, and insufficient personal growth opportunities these children experience.

Since its founding in 1986, DCF has been known for hosting world-class fundraising events that combine five-star service and top-tier fun for our guests. At the end of the year, DCF members perform an extensive grant application and review process that allows us to strategically distribute the money we raised that year back into the community. With decades of experience and deep relationships with the charities we support, DCF ensures that the funds we raise have the greatest impact on the marginalized children that we aim to support.

If you are a charity and would like to be considered for a grant, please submit your information via the online portal prior to the deadline in mid-to-late summer. After applying, a DCF member will touch base to begin the charity-review process and later present their findings with the rest of our group.
