Denver Architecture Foundation (DAF)

Hello friends, As I enter my 4th year on the Denver Architecture Foundation (DAF) Board of Directors I'm more excited then ever for the future of this great organization.  Your donation will support DAF as we bring you meaningful programs to explore and experience our city's built environment.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, the DAF has had significant impact in 2024:

• Hosted over 30 adult education programs, including walking tours, hard hat tours and lectures led by historians, architects, educators and community leaders in diverse neighborhoods in metro Denver! 
• Hosted Doors Open Denver in person for the first time since 2019 with old favorites like open sites and walking tours, and innovative programs like On the Boards, where local architecture firms opened their doors to the public, an inspiring keynote, and a festive celebration of Denver’s newest building. Over 3000 people benefited from these educational opportunities! 
• Partnered with 17 classrooms in Denver, Arapahoe, and Jefferson counties and 18 architecture firms, exposing 326 elementary aged students to architecture education through immersive, experiential learning delivered by professionals in the field. Most of the schools served are designated Title I, and receive federal funding based on the poverty rates of students enrolled.

And we have even bigger plans for more community impact in 2025! 

At any dollar amount, your tax-deductible donation will help DAF reach our $25,000 fundraising goal. 

Most importantly, your support will enable DAF to connect people to our ever-evolving built environment, together envisioning an exceptional future for Denver
