Our Vision
The Posner Center is Colorado’s leading collaborative hub and incubator for the social impact community at home and abroad. We bring together nonprofit leaders, international development professionals, academics, philanthropists, and innovators to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and tackle pressing challenges facing our communities and the world.
More than a gathering place, the Posner Center serves as an incubator for ideas, partnerships, and initiatives, providing the connections and resources that help turn promising ideas into meaningful action.
Why Now
At a time of profound change for the social impact and international development sectors, the need for collaboration and innovation has never been greater.
This year, we will expand programming, grow our Communities of Practice, bring leading voices and ideas to Colorado, and strengthen connections across the nonprofit, academic, technology, philanthropic, and private sectors. We will continue to cultivate an environment where new ideas emerge, partnerships flourish, and innovative initiatives thrive.
When you give to the Posner Center, you invest in more than one organization. You invest in an entire community of changemakers—and the ideas, partnerships, and innovations that will shape our collective future.
This year, we are thrilled to announce a matching gift from one of our longest standing donors for up to $5,000 donated between today and Colorado Gives Day!
Testimonials
"The Posner Center is precious for Denver's global development community. I find great value working here every day, being exposed to new ideas in a very collaborative environment. You have a great thing going here!" - Chris Bleers, Engineers Without Borders USA
"Learning from partners who are trying to do very similar things to us but have completely different methods is so great, and especially important is having training and collaboration events which 'force' us to get out of our work mode and talk to each other!" - Joshua Knight, Global Hope Network International
"Being at the Posner Center has greatly expanded our network and employee wellness through access to a wide range of events, professional development trainings, and opportunities for collaboration. The biggest impact though has just been the day-to-day environmental affect on our staff members as the positive and innovative energy in the Center is contagious." - Hannah Bick, MAIA
The Posner Center catalyzes the global development community, at home and abroad, to collaborate for greater impact.
In 2011, iDE, a Denver-based group that increases incomes for more than 20 million rural farmers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America initiated an ambitious plan to finance and develop a consortium to inhabit the world's first shared space for international development.
The following year, after a collaborative design and planning process with the Denver Housing Authority, Engineers Without Borders USA, Bridges to Prosperity, Nokero, Denver Urban Gardens, iDE and many dedicated partner organizations, more than two dozen tenant organizations were recruited, many with a market-based approach to solving global challenges. iDE served as the founder and landlord until late 2013, when the Posner Center for International Development was "spun off" from iDE as an independent nonprofit organization.
Today, the Posner Center serves as a hub for social impact organizations that work both locally and internationally.
The Posner Center is named in recognition of the generosity of Joanne Posner-Mayer, and in honor of her parents, Jerry and Hanna Posner.
