Clothes To Kids of Denver Receives Challenge Grant

CTKD is thrilled to once again receive a grant from the Olson-Vander Heyden Foundation. This year they’re providing $10,000 to CTKD as a Challenge Grant. We have been asked to reach out to our wonderful community to raise $10,000 on our own. With every dollar donated, it will be matched at 100% for up to a total of $20,000. Do you know how $20,000 can “Change a Life” at CTKD?

  • We can purchase 10,000 pair of socks and 10,000 pair of underwear.
  • We can provide 400 wardrobes for the kids we serve.
  • We can purchase 2,000 pairs of shoes to cover the feet of children in need.

Help us meet the match and check back regularly to see our progress! All monetary donations received from now until we reach our $10,000 goal will be placed in the fund. We will update you with our progress each month.

To participate, please mail donations to P.O. Box 260621 Lakewood, CO 80226-0621. You can also drop them off at the store on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 9 am and 2 pm. Our shop is located at 2890 S. Colorado Blvd, Unit M-3 Denver, CO 80222. You can also donate online using a credit card:

About the Olson-Vander Heyden Foundation

“The Foundation’s normal mission is to foster and sustain innovation in the Denver area’s arts community. This will always remain the Foundation’s primary mission. In light of current economic circumstances however, the Foundation has determined to depart temporarily from making grants exclusively to the arts community to account for the unusual material hardship resulting from the nation’s economic difficulties. The Foundation performs its own grant research and selects its own recipients. It does not solicit or respond to external grant solicitations.”
