It starts with the Park.
Civic Center Conservancy keeps Civic Center active and thriving for all. Through economic opportunity, community programming, and public health initiatives, the Conservancy empowers community members to elevate Denver's iconic public space, ensuring it reflects the best of our City.
We're more than just a park.
Our innovative approach is centered in the community. Donations support our efforts in:
- Workforce Development: We supported 40+ individuals transitioning out of homelessness to clean and maintain the park and 30+ young people finding their way in programming in events. Giving supports these individuals as they improve their employability in the park they love.
- Community Programming: We supported community groups to tell their stories in the Heart of Denver, bringing back Dia de los Muertos for its second year and helping launch AAPI Culture Fest. We hosted NIGHT MARKET, Denver's biggest drone show at Indy Eve, free Stargaze tours, and EATS food trucks. Funding supports community groups as they co-create much of this programming.
- Public Health: Our SPARKLES volunteers and WORKS crews put in over 3,500 hours of supplemental maintenance to ensure that Civic Center is clean, safe, and beautiful. We know these data points are essential to creating a welcoming and accessible space so that more community members can unlock the benefits of the outdoors while connecting with each other. It's a huge reason why we pushed for flowers (which was made possible by supporters like you!)
But we can do more, and you can help.
