We offered dozens of educational experiences, including expert-led walking tours, the Beyond the Faade series, lectures and panel discussions, the multi-day Doors Open Denver festival, and robust youth education programming. Our programs connect people to Denvers cultural ecosystem and build understanding on both the history of Denver and where the city is headed. Denver Architecture Foundation further advanced its role as a convener of important conversations by diverse thought leaders with the creation of an annual lecture series, honoring the leadership and contributions of Denver architect and urban planner Alan Golin Gass. During Doors Open Denver in September, we explored the connection between the buildings in the city and the natural world through our theme Architecture and Nature in Harmony. Visitors experienced behind-the-scenes looks of well-known cultural spaces and hidden gems throughout the city through over 120 events and activations across the weekend, including the free Icon Sites where guests were invited to wander through some of Denvers most well-known buildings for self-guided exploration; Insider Tours where attendees dove deeper into the stories of Denvers places and spaces through tours led by experts, and the free On the Boards wherein 23 of Denvers most prominent architecture firms opened their doors to share their offices, drawings, models, and materials with curious explorers. Over 2500 people engaged in Doors Open Denver 2025.Our signature youth initiative, the Cleworth Architectural Legacy (CAL) Project, flourished in 2025. By introducing K8 students to architecture and design thinking through direct engagement with practitioners, DAF nurtures the next generation of diverse thinkers who will shape Denvers future. We concluded the year with an extraordinary vote of confidence in this programs past and its potential: Denver philanthropist Monty Cleworth pledged a $500,000 endowment over five years to ensure CALs long-term vitality and impact.Our commitment to civic engagement and cultural awareness was recognized by an invitation to join the Bloomberg Connects global community of over 1000 cultural organizations increasing access by sharing free information about arts and culture, allowing us to share free information about our city. 318699 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 13 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true false false false X The Organization 3033901653 PO Box 1112 Denver CO 80201 Margaret Touborg Jebsen Exec Director 40.00 0.00 X X 122701 0 0 Alan Golin Gass Emertus 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bart Dickson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lauren Grenz Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Isabelle Lockwood Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Salerno Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Jahn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kaci Taylor DEIA Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Shomo At Large 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kurt Basford Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jovina Amor Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chad Holtzinger Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eugene Howard Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 122701 1 false false false 0 27130 67187 384500 141407 478817 Tours 50982 50982 50982 1663 1663 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Misc Rewards 406 406 406 531868 50982 2069 X 0 0 0 0 122700 93252 11043 18405 0 137455 104773 11572 21110 0 15375 11720 1340 2315 19905 15152 1730 3023 0 0 12135 12135 0 9450 9450 0 0 0 440 171 260 9 0 0 1500 1500 0 0 0 0 0 0 1960 1117 665 178 Refreshments 20913 20913 Communications 18164 14824 2107 1233 Web services and software 11932 9526 1020 1386 Professional development Staff 9442 6009 1820 1613 46426 39742 6042 642 427797 318699 49734 59364 77603 94246 20929 10751 0 30279 54811 0 0 0 0 0 0 58473 122567 0 0 0 3711 187284 286086 13595 10685 3 2 13598 10687 X 173686 175399 100000 173686 275399 187284 286086 X 104071 -2671 313 X false false false X 352501 300017 227620 318378 478816 1677332 0 0 352501 300017 227620 318378 478816 1677332 244669 1432663 6592 6279 5499 4795 1663 24828 0 332 491 203 406 1432 1703592 0.84100 0.90330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Rounding 2 2 X 3 124407 Market value Meals DOD 9000 Cost Speaker Fees 1500 Per Fee Print Material 4000 Per fees Supplies 2500 Per fees false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A form 990 in draft form is submitted to the Executive Committee for review.
