2025-2026 GRANT RECIPIENTS

Junior League of Denver granted $20,000 to two deserving organizations in May 2026. Congrats to the recipients below!

The Urban Farm: $10,000
The Urban Farm (TUF) strives to provide the opportunity for urban youth to engage and participate in local food and agricultural systems by removing the barriers to entry such as land access, time, location and finances. As a community farm and educational center, TUF provides a unique opportunity for urban youth to learn hands-on about agriculture without ever leaving the city. They believe access and education are essential to promoting future generations of farmers, healthy eaters, and sustainably minded consumers. The Urban Farm strives to inspire excitement for learning through practical work experience in a farm setting while fostering respect, responsibility, curiosity, caring and grit.
