Dear Friends of The Denver Foundation,

The theme for this year’s Annual Report is Seeds to Leaves: Growing a Community. Here at The Denver Foundation, we’re experiencing the dynamic process of growth, from the germination of ideas, to the testing and trying of new projects, to the full blossoming of partnerships and strategies.

The Denver Foundation has two roles. We are stewards of an endowment contributed by generous donors overtime and we help accomplish the charitable goals of businesses, families, and individuals through more than1,000 different funds. In this year’s report, you’ll learn how strongly these two roles of the Foundation are connected.

As the Foundation’s staff and volunteers work to take action in the areas of Basic Human Needs, CommunityLeadership, Economic Opportunity, and Education, our fundholders frequently co-invest with us through theirfunds. You’ll read about how we’re working to nurture our region’s system of food pantries, to help children find academic success through ensemble music, and to plant the seeds of economic opportunity with cooperativesand social enterprise. We’ll share how giving circles, corporations like RBC Wealth Management, and legal and financial advisors all work in partnership with the Foundation to meet the community’s needs and accomplish a wide range of charitable goals.

Together, we’re growing a strong future for Metro Denver.

As you read this report, we hope you’ll consider how you can connect – or expand your connection – with The Denver Foundation as a partner, a donor, a fundholder, a grantee, or a friend. We are able to take action because people like you choose us as a partner in philanthropy. We are so grateful for your support, helping the seeds of potential to develop into the lush fullness of a healthy community.

Sincerely,

William Ryan Sandra Shreve David MillerChair, Board of Trustees 2013 Chair, Board of Trustees 2014 President and CEO

Community-Campus Partnership: The Anschutz MedicalCampus has changed the community of Original Aurora, and anew Community-Campus Partnership is connecting the campuswith its neighbors for workforce development, job access, healthimprovement, and economic development.

Colorado nonprofit Social enterprise exchange: The Exchange teaches nonprofits to create sustainable, unrestricted sources of funding to help achieve their missionsthrough the development of businesses that train and employ clients.

veterans to Farmers: Based in the Curtis Park neighborhood,Veterans to Farmers is developing a training center to teachveterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars how to run businesses focused on growing fresh vegetables using an indooraeroponic system.

CAFé 180: While the groups above receive funding through the Foundation’s Community Grants Program, our donors also invest in many social enterprises. One such project is CAFÉ 180in Englewood. Created by Julie Mihevc, Cathy Matthews, andLibby Whitmore, CAFÉ 180 fills a need in a neighborhood wheremany people struggle to make ends meet. Neighbors have cometo see CAFÉ 180 not only as a place to eat and volunteer, but also as a place where they know they are valued and part of a community that embraces them.

The Denver Foundation seeks to help low-income communitiesbecome places of economic, cultural, and artistic opportunity.This work launched in 2013, in response to the community’s call for the Foundation to do more to build local economies.“We’re really at the ‘seed’ stage with these efforts,” says PatrickHorvath, the Foundation’s Director of Economic Opportunity.“Over time, we hope these projects will grow to improve thelives of hundreds of Metro area residents.”

Urban Cooperative Development Center: We are helpingthe Rocky Mountain Farmers Union to start urban cooperatives.Some examples include worker co-ops of janitors, housekeepers,or fitness instructors, and food co-ops where urban farmers jointogether to sell their produce.

During the past two years, the collaboratives have greatly improved their ability to serve their communities. They implemented “client choice,” a model allowing people to choose the food they need, and they increased the availability of fresh produce. In one community, two pantries combined into a single larger pantry, and in another, partners created ashared warehouse.

Now The Denver Foundation is taking what we learned and helping pantry staff leaders improve their effectiveness. The Full Pantries, Full lives leadership institute offered byHunger Free Colorado, provides support for pantry leaders to develop their leadership skills, to collaborate, and to betterserve their clients through practices in inclusiveness and community engagement.

Tom Heule, a Denver Foundation donor advisor and member ofthe Foundation’s Basic Human Needs Committee, shares his perspective. “If we can help these leaders learn from each other and work together, we can improve the whole system of providing emergency food to those in need.” Heule and hisfamily support hunger relief efforts through their fund, particularly a weekend “food backpack” program for children in Metro area parochial schools.

To learn more about the Food Pantry Partnerships Project, or the Foundation’s work on hunger, visit denverfoundation.org andsearch “Fighting Hunger.” To learn how you can start a donor-advised fund like Tom Heule’s, contact the Philanthropic ServicesGroup at 303.300.1790.

The Denver Foundation works to ensure that Metro Denver residents can meet their basic needs with dignity. Increasing access to nutritious food is an important part of our work.

Food pantries are essential to the system that provides food topeople in need, complementing the system of federal nutritionprograms. In 2011, the Foundation joined with several donors topilot the Food Pantry Partnerships Project. The goal was to helpgroups of food pantries, called “collaboratives,” work together to improve their services. The selected collaboratives were the Food exchange Resource network in Southwest Denver, the Jefferson County Mountain Area Partnership, and the boulder County Collaborative.

BASIC HUMAN NEEDS

“As the Foundation seeks to improve the lives of those most inneed here in Metro Denver, we recognize the power that comesfrom helping people take action themselves,” says AdrienneMansanares, the Foundation’s Director of Community Leader-ship. “Everyone has strengths and the capacity to make change.Our Strengthening Neighborhoods work has been based on thisidea for more than a decade.”

The Resident Leadership Institute, involving more than 70 low-income resident leaders from across the Metro Denver area, meets on Saturdays from September through June. Busy residents, many juggling two or more jobs, make time tocome together to learn how best to take action on their issues of concern. The Denver Foundation provides child care, food, and trainers to teach skills such as public speaking and community organizing.

To learn more, visit The Denver Foundation’s online annual report at: denverfoundation.org/2013annual. You’ll find a videofrom spoken-word artist Bobby LeFebre sharing the power of the Institute.

Everyone in the large circle wears headphones for translation. Four languages can be heard: English, Spanish, and two dialects of Mai-Mai, the Bantu language spoken by various tribes in Somalia.

No, we are not at the United Nations. We are at Hinkley HighSchool in Aurora, Colorado.

The men and women in the circle have all been working activelyto make change in their communities. One group has been building urban farms in Denver’s Westwood neighborhood, andanother is organizing parents to introduce a concept called“restorative justice” to their children’s school. Despite the widerange of goals, all are seeking to learn how to mobilize aroundan issue they identified and to create sustainable change. This is The Denver Foundation’s Resident leadership institute.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

El Sistema Colorado is based on the highly successful El SistemaProgram developed in Venezuela in 1975 by Dr. José AntonioAbreu. This program now teaches some 400,000 childrenthroughout Venezuela each year, demonstrating the power of ensemble music to dramatically change the life trajectory of the nation’s youth. Among the graduates of the program is the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Gustavo Dudamel.

One of El Sistema’s supporters is the Butler Family Fund, createdby the late Brad and Erna Butler. Their children, son Jim Butlerand his wife Sharon, and daughter Nancy Accetta and her husband Tony, now recommend grants from the fund. “Momloved music, and Dad was committed to helping young children.El Sistema does so much to build a basis for success in life forthese children, and we’re proud to support them,” says Nancy.

The organization has received funding from several of the Foundation’s donor-advised funds, as well as from the Community Grants Program, the Strengthening NeighborhoodsProgram, and the Gwen Bowen Performing Arts Fund.

The Denver Foundation seeks to increase student achievementand graduation rates in targeted low-income neighborhoods.One key strategy is the “whole child approach,” which recognizesthat students do better when their academic success is linked toan understanding of education as supporting the developmentof the full human being.

At Garden Place Academy in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood,students as young as four are experiencing the joy of music asthey also learn that the study of music can help them to do better in school. This is the whole child approach coming to life.

Through el Sistema Colorado, teaching artists provide high-quality, rigorous ensemble music education. The studentslearn to strive for excellence, while developing sustained attention, self-discipline, and perseverance. They also gain critical cognitive development related to language acquisition,literacy, and math, all in the context of learning about, enjoying,and creating music.

Social venture Partners Denver (SvP) is a program of The Denver Foundation that unleashes the financial resources, passion, and skills of professionals who work together to helptackle the strategic business needs of nonprofits. In 2013, Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) embraced a pivotal opportunitywhen they decided to apply to SVP, recognizing that after 20 years of successful growth from four to more than 130 neighborhood gardens, their organization needed a comprehensive review and a new business model to take it to the next level of growth and sustainability. SVP met DUG’s request with a team of SVP Partners under the leadership of EricWatson, Division Preceptor for DaVita Healthcare Partners, andLauren Benjamin, a strategy consultant. SVP guided the DUGteam to identify and implement a path for growth, impact, and sustainability.

teDxMilehigh works to spread big ideas and elevate inspiredcitizenship in Colorado by showcasing innovative speakers who each give the “talk of their life” around the power of ideas.This diverse group of thought leaders and innovators educates,inspires, and stimulates change with the ultimate goal of sparking deep discussion and action across our communities.

TEDxMileHigh is made possible by the work and effort of the broader community: inspired attendees; the efforts of thousands of hours from a large, committed team; deep involvement from partners and sponsors; and a wealth of brilliant innovators in Colorado who donate their time, energy,and talents to contribute to “Ideas Worth Spreading.”

In 2013, in addition to its main event, TEDxMileHigh presentedtwo other community showcases focused on youth and women.

The Denver Foundation stands firmly rooted in 89 years of community service, yet in the ever-changing social landscape,the Foundation recognizes that innovative approaches are theseeds for continued growth. In Metro Denver, there are severalfields ripe with potential for impact. Three affiliate programs –Mile High Connects, Social Venture Partners, and TEDxMileHigh– are all pioneers in this territory with The Denver Foundation.

Through Mile high Connects, national foundations, local foundations, banks, and nonprofit organizations have come together to increase access to housing choices, good jobs, high-quality schools, and essential services via public transit.By increasing resources, influencing policy, and working directlywith residents, Mile High Connects is helping the Metro Denverregional transit system foster communities that offer all residents the opportunity for a high quality of life.

Giving circles and affinity groups are a form of philanthropy through which groups of individualsdonate their own money to a pooled fund, decide together what charities or community projects to give to, and in so doing, increase their awareness of and engagement in the community. Many such groups also contribute their time and skills to support local causes.

In May 2012, The Denver Foundation supported the creation of Denver African-American Philanthropists (DAAP): black Men Giving With a Purpose. DAAP is the first African-Americanmen’s giving circle west of the Mississippi River. Like so many other giving circles around thecountry, members impact Metro Denver by giving their time, talent, and treasure to those ingreatest need.

In late 2012, The White Rose Foundation, philanthropic arm of The Links, Inc. – Denver (CO)Chapter, created The White Rose Endowment Fund at The Denver Foundation. The Links, Inc. is comprised of African-American women who collectively provide services, scholarships, volunteer time, and programs that impact the community.

In 2013, The Denver Foundation brought together a group of arts funders to create the Arts Affinity Group as a collective giving platform. The purpose of the group is to expand opportunities for those who partner with the Foundation to leverage their funding, learn fromone another, and promote arts in our community. In February, the group voted to approve theirfirst round of grants, providing support to four leading arts education organizations based on criteria that focused on innovation, technology, and access for disadvantaged populations.

In 2014, the Foundation is launching an environmental Affinity Group. The Denver Foundationalso hosts a number of other giving circles. For more information about how you can get connected, contact the Philanthropic Services Group at 303.300.1790.

The professional advisor community is essential to the long-term success of The Denver Foundation. For nearly nine decades, the Foundation has worked closely with estate planning attorneys, trust officers, financial advisors, and CPAs to connect their clients with the charitablecauses they care about the most.

Professional advisors understand that charitable giving is an important part of a comprehensivelegal, financial, and tax planning discussion. By partnering with The Denver Foundation and tapping its expertise, these advisors offer extra value to their clients. Whether it is the couple hoping to leave a legacy, the family with a complicated tax situation, or the businessowner wanting to make an immediate philanthropic impact, professional advisors partner withthe Foundation’s Philanthropic Services Group to help find the best solutions for their clients.

These professional advisors include Wanda Colburn, Managing Director at Atlantic Trust PrivateWealth Management, and Carl Stevens, estate planning attorney at Davis Schilken, PC, who received the Foundation’s 2013 Philanthropic Leadership Award (PLA). Each year since 2004, the Foundation has hosted the Philanthropic Leadership Awards Reception to express appreciation to the professional advisor community and to recognize advisors who have distinguished themselves as champions of philanthropy.

Wanda and Carl were recognized not just for their successful partnerships with the Foundation,but also for outstanding charitable leadership that has enriched our community. After ten yearsand 31 awardees, the PLA program continues to celebrate those advisors who help facilitate andinspire their clients to give.

As Foundation President and CEO David Miller expressed at this past year’s r eception, “When we reflect on our efforts and the proud tradition of philanthropy in our community, we appreciate the support of the professional advisor community and those who have helped us along the way.”

The Denver Foundation currently manages more than 1,000 charitable funds for individuals,groups, nonprofits, and companies. Within each fund there exists a blooming network of philanthropy, each a bed of charitable activity that engages community and creates impact.

One such story is that of RBC Wealth Management. Currently the nation’s sixth-largest full-service securities firm, RBC strives to be a leader in the communities where it does business.RBC has demonstrated that commitment by investing company dollars and staff volunteer hours in many charitable projects. When the tragic shootings occurred at Columbine HighSchool in 1999, RBC created the RBC Wealth Management Columbine Scholarship Fund, under the leadership of Senior Vice President Bob Schneebeck, to honor and award academicscholarships to students attending Columbine at the time of the tragedy.

“Our goal was to provide scholarships for four years. However, it was such a positive experiencethat we needed to do more,” states Schneebeck. The program became the RBC Wealth Management Colorado Scholarship Fund, which recognizes the hard work and positive examples set by all Colorado high school students. With the passionate vision of Schneebeck, along withinput from Karen Bellina, Director of The Denver Foundation’s Scholarship Programs, the Fund has further evolved to support students pursuing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers.

All involved in the process wish they could award more scholarships. The Fund typically receives 90 to 100 applications each year, and awards five $3,000 scholarships. RBC’s goal is to build the Fund up to $1 million to provide an increased number of scholarships.

“I find the students are nothing short of amazingand phenomenal,” states Zachary Richards, whohas been a volunteer member of the RBC WealthManagement Colorado Scholarship selection committee for the past four years. “They devotethemselves to excelling beyond all expectations.”

This is quite a compliment coming from Richards,who has a background in applied math andphysics as well as engineering and robotics, and is currently an Optimization Engineer at UnitedLaunch Alliance (ULA). His background allows him to pull from his own experience when engaged in the tough task of ranking students.“When you have a student who has studied differential equations as a junior in high school,and who can really build the subject of why within their essay or in a published piece, it’s easyto see the passion for the field,” Richards states.

9 to 5helping veteransThe Denver Foundation believes that veterans andservice members are untapped national assets,having acquired experiences and skills while serving in the military that have significant valuein the workplace and communities.

Veterans have developed technical and leadershipskills, maturity, discipline, and a desire to continueto be of service. In 2013, The Denver Foundationlaunched the Veterans Behavioral Health ServicesProject to help veterans transition successfully to civilian life and to increase their ability to contribute to our community. Ten nonprofitsreceived grants to support the behavioral healthneeds of veterans and their families.

Community Grants: Making an impact

As a community foundation, The DenverFoundation believes it essential that welisten to the region’s residents regularly in order to determine howbest to use the resources in our Community Endowment. A robust Listening Campaign revealed that the community wants The Denver Foundation to take action in the areasof basic human needs, Communityleadership, education, and economicOpportunity.

With the help of more than a hundredvolunteers and through extensive community conversations, the Foundation determined how best to invest in these areas of focus.

Our long-term goals are:

Basic Human Needs: As a Metro Denverresident, I am assured of meeting mybasic human needs (food, shelter, basicmedical care, and safety from domestic violence) in a way that is safe, dignified, and easily managed.

Community Leadership: Metro Denver’scommunity leadership pool is bigger,more diverse, more skilled, and moreconnected. Community leaders work tofacilitate change to meet basic humanneeds, improve education, and expandeconomic opportunity.

Economic Opportunity: Low-incomecommunities, through their own organizing efforts and partnershipswith external investors, are places of economic, cultural, and artistic opportunity. There is a significant increase in the percentage of membersof low-income communities who havethe economic resources to thrive.

Education: Selected low-income schoolsand communities in Metro Denver will experience increased school readiness, achievement, andgraduation rates.

These goals reflect The Denver Foundation’s ongoing commitment to reducing disparities and promotingequity for the most vulnerable members of our community. Based onour nationally recognized work throughthe Strengthening Neighborhoods Program and the Inclusiveness Project, the Foundation has a deepcommitment to investing in organizations that are committed toresident/constituent-based leadershipand building racial and economic equity.

You can read stories of this work in action on pages 4–11. For details onspecific strategies and information onhow to apply for grant funding, visitdenverfoundation.org.

Critical needs Fund

The Denver Foundation activates theCritical Needs Fund in those momentswhen the community says, “Someoneneeds to do something. Now.” We leverage our expertise, our networks,and the generosity of donors to movequickly to help people. But we don’tstop there. At pivotal moments, theCritical Needs Fund helps set the stage for long-term solutions.

The Foundation first activated the Critical Needs Fund in 2005 to addressdramatically rising energy costs andthe resulting effects on local nonprofitorganizations. Since then, the Fund hasaddressed emergency food needs andthe systemic issue of hunger in ourcommunity. Currently, the Fund is helping unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness in Metro Denver.

nonprofit internship Program

Through a competitive application andinterview process, selected college students are paired with nonprofit hostorganizations that meet the criteria ofThe Denver Foundation. In addition topaid employment over ten weeks, interns engage in a series of workshopson topics such as Nonprofits 101, fundraising, communications, leadership, and networking skills. Theprogram began as a way to encouragethe increased future involvement of diverse community members as staff,board members, volunteers, and donorsin the nonprofit sector. The Foundation,which does regular evaluations to gaugethe effectiveness of the program, revised the curriculum in 2013 to focus more onleadership development and community engagement, as well as to offer interns adeeper look at community needs relatedto economic, racial, and ethnic disparities.
