The Greenway Foundation

A passionate voice for the South Platte River since 1974.

Ever caught a trout in the South Platte, picnicked in Confluence Park, attended SPREE summer camp, or biked along our Colorado waterways? Then you know The Greenway Foundation’s work.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

Colorado Gives Day

Right now, your donation is amplified with the Colorado Gives Day incentive fund.

Make a bigger impact when you give today.

From building connections to campers and relationships with each other, this experience has taught us all so much. The moments together are invaluable. The connections we’ve made go so much than coworkers. We have learned to become a family. And for that, I thank SPREE and The Greenway Foundation.

We and our camper LOVED SPREE. She (and we) found the camp to be organized, interesting, and well-run, with excellent communication.

As both an individual donor and community partner, the Greenway Foundation is at the top of the list of civic organizations that make an exceptional difference in both community and environmental quality. I am a Denver native born in the mid 1950’s and in my lifetime have seen both Cherry Creek and the South Platte go from neglected ditches to vibrant waterways. Greenway’s highly focused vision and persistent advocacy are crucial component to our city’s success.

When we started, it was at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. And at that time, I felt very hopeless. The repetition of my days was draining and ultimately made me insensitive to society. And overtime, I felt like I had lost my purpose. That is until all this happened. Youth Advocacy reconnected me to society, to my community. It gave me a purpose and a goal to pursue. Through its ups and downs, opportunities, and hardships, I began to regain hope in the world around us. It gave me a voice again, showing me the beauty of community and connection. And I think that is what’s so special about this program; I get to give others a voice. I am incredibly grateful and optimistic about the future.
