The Greenway Foundation

A cleaner, safer, more accessible river for all.

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

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

What We Do
Ways to Give

We are a group of passionate stewards who care for the South Platte River and its tributaries, and for the people who live, work, and play along its banks.

Chompers – Mission 6

Litter is trash that isn’t thrown away properly. It makes parks less fun to be in, and can hurt animals and plants. With an adult – and some gloves – pick up litter in your neighborhood or local park.

Can I rate this trip? I want to give it a 5 out of 5!

 
Chompers – Mission 10

Wait for a day when it is raining or snowing. This is precipitation, or water that falls from the sky. All this water eventually becomes part of the lakes and rivers in our ecosystem. Stand in the precipitation. How do you feel? Notice what it looks like when it reaches the ground. Stomp around and listen. What do you hear?

 
Chompers – Mission 4

Ask an adult to take you to a local park. Before you run to play, take a walk around the park together. Notice the plants and animals that you see. Point out things that you think are interesting, and ask what is interesting to your adult.

I wanted to share that your staff showed great judgment and inspired a high level of trust. You have established a great program, and I am truly grateful for the wonderful communication throughout. Your people totally made the magic!

President, Riverfront Park Association

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.
