By hosting a fundraiser for Denver Urban Gardens (DUG), you’re helping neighbors grow healthy food, build leadership, and regenerate green spaces across Denver.
Whether it’s a yoga class, art show, dinner party, birthday fundraiser, concert, market, or community gathering — your event can help grow something lasting.
We’ll provide the tools. You bring the community.
DUG works alongside neighbors to provide access, skills, and resources so people can grow healthy food in community. From supporting more than 200 community gardens to youth education and garden leadership programs, every dollar raised strengthens local food access and connection.
Your fundraiser directly supports:
Together, we grow more than food — we grow belonging.
”I enjoy hosting at my home, providing my skills in event planning and sharing my network in support of a cause I believe in.
