About DENVER CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION

DCF (formerly Denver Active 20-30) is a membership-driven charity composed largely of professionals in their 20s and 30s who produce signature fundraising events and convert those proceeds into strategic grants for organizations serving vulnerable children.

In the past 2–3 years DCF has sustained a high level of impact—raising and granting roughly $1.4–1.6 million annually and distributing funds to 70+ Colorado nonprofits—while maintaining a membership cohort of roughly 90–100 active members and operating a structured annual grant review process (LOI required; application window typically May 1–July 31).

Notable achievements

Consistent seven-figure grantmaking

In recent years DCF has raised and invested roughly $1.4–$1.6 million annually and granted funds to 70+ Colorado charities supporting children.

Longstanding signature events

Built and sustained high-profile, recurring events (Denver Polo Classic, Barn Party, Leaders Fore Kids, Christmas for Kids) that attract donors and corporate sponsors and fund large annual grant pools.

Multi-decade community presence

Operating since the late 1980s under the Active 20-30 tradition, DCF has developed a continuing pipeline of young philanthropic leaders who steward funds to direct-service child programs statewide.
