By Giving, You Nurture the Impulse to Achieve.
You’re protecting a foundational civil right. When we deny those we deem as lesser than us access to what all citizens are guaranteed to enjoy, we diminish liberty for all. Bigotry is still bigotry — even when we do it with sweet intentions. AdvocacyDenver fights for our clients’ rights with a fundamental understanding that our right to pursue life and liberty is not conditional on someone else’s view of our capabilities or intelligence. By giving, you protect freedom.
By Giving, You Protect Freedom.
You know it’s right. At the end of the day, you will know that your contribution to AdvocacyDenver did something not only undeniably positive, but uniquely effective, for people with developmental disabilities. Right in your home state. Right in your neighborhood. And just plain right.
How Can You Give?
Individual, corporate gifts and foundation grants can be restricted to a specific area of focus, such as advocacy or education — or they may be unrestricted, which allows AdvocacyDenver to target support to a specific program, service, or area of greatest need. All gifts advance the mission to help our clients and their families live life as fully as possible.

Individual donors often choose to support our advocacy work based on personal experiences in their own lives, or in the lives of family or friends. Donations from individuals are accepted in any amount, and may come in the form of a single gift, or as ongoing giving. Donors may also consider deferred gifts made either by an individual or family through a bequest, charitable trust, charitable gift annuity, retirement plan assets, life insurance or retained life estate.
