Denver Children's Home (DCH) delivers high-quality education and the gold standard of care to some of the most vulnerable children in our community – victims of abuse, neglect, and trauma who often have serious mental illness and no other place to go. DCH is dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and therapeutic space for these students to heal and grow – restoring hope and providing the tools they need to reclaim their lives.
This fundraising team is made up of members of DCH's Board – each of us has experienced the incredible work and talented team and DCH and chosen to dedicate our time and resources to the Home's future. Now, we hope you'll join us in spreading the word and supporting DCH so they can continue supporting Colorado's kids!

-- DCH is Denver's oldest nonprofit, founded as the Denver Orphans Home in 1876!
-- The team has never stopped evolving – today, DCH is widely recognized as pioneers in trauma-informed care.
-- The results speak for themselves: Last year, DCH served over 140 children – 81% of children were successfully discharged, compared to a statewide average under 50%.
-- DCH is essential to our state – abuse and neglect hurts more than 37,000 children a year in Colorado, but so many residential treatment programs have closed in the last few years, leaving even fewer options for kids.
-- Your donation makes a huge difference – 88 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to programmatic support.
