Dignity
We meet people as neighbors. A request is a conversation, and private details stay private.
About the foundation
A practical charity for the Denver metro.
Vitalis Community Foundation of Colorado helps individuals and families move toward stability and independence by removing barriers in the way.
Mission
Helping individuals and families move toward stability and independence through basic needs, housing support, recovery, reentry, life skills, and employment support.
The focus is removing barriers to independence.
The foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Help is direct and practical: housing support, basic needs, recovery, reentry, life skills, and employment support. Nothing on this website is a promise that a particular request will be filled.

- Commerce City

How we approach the work
These are the habits that keep the mission honest.
Practical help
The aim is a barrier that can actually move: housing, food, clothing, hygiene, transportation, or a next skill.
Independence
Support is meant to help a person or family carry stability forward, not to become the whole plan.
A local reach
The work is for the Denver metro communities listed on this site, not for every city in Colorado.
Leadership
The foundation is led by its officers.
