How to Support DAF

The Denver Architecture Foundation connects the people of Denver with our city’s past, present, and future through the lens of architecture and urban design. Read about our impact in our Annual Report.

Why Support DAF?

We are a small non-profit organization seeking to make a big impact on our city through adult and youth education. We depend on philanthropic and civic-minded foundations, companies, firms, and individuals. Your gift will directly help DAF design and sustain multiple programs that celebrate our city’s built environment, from K–12 education and guided tours to expert lectures.

What to Support?

Your generous tax-deductible donation will fuel multiple areas of impact:

  • General Operations: Support our year-round ability to create and produce educational tours and programs for people of all ages and backgrounds.
  • Cleworth Architectural Legacy (CAL) Project: Make a difference to Denver’s K-8 students by supporting our youth education program that matches designers with public school classrooms for hands-on learning and skill development. Learn more about CAL here.
  • Doors Open Denver (DOD): Ensure the robust programming and inclusivity of this signature event with your gift. Learn more here.
  • Alan Golin Gass (AGG) Annual Lecture: Advance Denver’s design dialogue by supporting this annual presentation by a visionary architect or urban planner. This lecture is named in honor of Alan Golin Gass FAIA, a fourth-generation Denverite who graduated from East High School, Harvard College, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Gass devoted his six decade career to architecture and urban planning in Denver, Aspen, and New York City.
