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.

Don Cohen

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.

Mary D.

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

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

Jon Novick

Environmental Administrator Department of Public Health & Environment

Denver Department of Public Health & Environmen is a proud sponsor of the Clean Water Challenge. It has proven to be a great learning experience for both professionals working in water quality and students interested in the field. The challenge exposes students to real-world problems that water quality professionals deal with on a regular basis. Participants come with fresh perspectives leading to interesting, and sometimes unexpected, but practical solutions to challenging water quality problems.

Appreciative Mom

Parent of LIT Campers

Both of my kids had a fabulous two weeks. I can see real growth in how my child interacts/fulfills the LIT role, and my daughter jumped in with both feet and was super excited to participate in all sorts of leading/teaching aspects. Thank you. This is an awesome opportunity for the kids, and we, as parents, appreciate what you’re doing to keep them engaged and learning as they get older.

Kate B.

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

(My child) came home excited to share what she learned every day. Thank you and well done! You all did a fantastic job — such great content and the kids were so jazzed every day.
