Groundwork Denver

The Groundwork Denver team had the privilege to come together to share food, stories, and smiles during our office potluck last week. During these uncertain times, we were able to take a few hours to soothe our souls together, over the universal language of food 🥘🌮🍛 (oh, and we watched A Bug’s Life 🐞🐜)

Today is Colorado Gives Day, and we need your support!

Each year, dozens of youth in Groundwork Denver programs contribute thousands of hours towards green projects. From installing rain gardens to planting trees to green job skills trainings, the work they complete benefits all of us living in metro Denver.

But recent funding cuts are set to limit our youth program in 2026.

Every dollar you give toward our $20,000 Colorado Gives Day goal directly supports more youth jobs, more hands-on learning, and more green projects in neighborhoods that need them most.

Through midnight tonight, donations are being matched thanks to a $5,000 matching fund, meaning your gift can go twice as far!

Whether you can give $5/month or $5000, your gift makes a difference: https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/groundworkdenver
