Legacy gifts are a way to have an impact beyond your lifetime.
Supporting Denver Urban Gardens with a legacy gift means investing in an urban, sustainable future in the Denver metro area (and beyond) where people are deeply connected to the earth, each other, and the food they eat. Your support ensures that we can continue working to cultivate food, community, and climate resilience on a human scale.
Ways to Make a Gift
Planned Giving
Remember DUG in your will or trust, charitable remainder trust, or charitable remainder annuity. Will provisions are the most frequently used deferred giving vehicle. All you need is an attorney and appropriate bequest language. Be sure to let DUG know by emailing give@dug.org.
Beneficiary Designation
You can designate DUG as beneficiary of a life insurance policy, a retirement fund, or a bank account. Be sure to let DUG know by emailing give@dug.org.
Legacy Gardens + Food Forests
Fund a food forest or garden in honor or memorium of a loved one. This is a highly-impactful way to make a gift to your community so they can enjoy your support for years to come.
DUG Endowment Contributions
Help us fund our endowment for a secure future. You can fund the organization, a position, or one of DUG’s programs.
Honor a loved one with a memorial garden or food forest.
Our beautiful Wonder Community Garden at Wyatt Park is a beautiful example of honoring a loved one who has passed. DUG supporter, Jerry Conover, funded the garden’s creation to honor his late wife, Jaquelyn Wonder.
