About DUG's Endowment Fund

Because movements, like gardens, need deep roots to thrive beyond a single season, we’re planting the DUG Endowment, a permanent wellspring that will keep food, community, and climate resilience flourishing across metro Denver, generation after generation. Your gift enriches the soil beneath every bed, sustains nature-based learning for kids, and ensures neighbors will always have a place to gather, grow, and give back.

"Grateful for the gardeners in my life! Donating to give other people the tools to create the same magic. #GratefulforGardeners"
- DUG Donor

Why $8 Million?

As an organization with an annual operating budget of ~$4 million, we're aiming for an Endowment of twice that, which allows for a sustainable 5% annual withdrawal rate to cover 10% of DUG's operating budget.
