Funding Denver’s Future.
Prosperity Denver Fund believes in the promise of education to build a prosperous future for our city. In 2018, the people of Denver passed a ballot initiative that has since empowered us to make a significant impact on the lives of thousands of students.
Thanks to this support from Denver taxpayers, we fund local nonprofits with dollars that multiply their ability to help students succeed in high school, pursue college, or engage in career training through apprenticeship and credential programs.
With over $65 million distributed and 63,713 students supported, Prosperity Denver is proud to be a unique model in the country. We believe that access to educational opportunities is essential for Denver students to build careers, contribute to the local economy, and thrive in the city they call home.
Together, we ensure Denver prospers now and for generations to come.
