Adopt a Mission

Adopt a Mission is a purpose-driven partnership program where each business selects and “adopts” a specific mission—whether it’s a Denver-based family, school, community need, or broader local cause—and commits to serving that mission long-term.

This isn’t a one-off project. It’s an ongoing relationship between your business and the impact you want to create right here in our city. It’s about giving back locally, meeting real needs in Denver, and building something that lasts.

How Does Adopt a Mission Work?

Step 1: Choose Your Mission

Your business decides to become a Mission Minded Business. You select a cause, family, or project you want to adopt and determine how often you want to serve—monthly, quarterly, or at your own cadence. This is your commitment to real, lasting impact.

Step 2: We Build Your Plug-and-Play Plan

We create a custom service model for your business that makes it easy to give back in a sustainable way. From planning to logistics, we handle everything so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel—ensuring your service is consistent and transformative, not just a one-time event.

Step 3: You Serve and Grow Your Impact

Now it’s time to show up. Whether it's hands-on service days or meeting ongoing needs behind the scenes, your mission begins here. Every cause is different, and we tailor your service cadence to support real community growth while aligning with your business rhythms.

Don’t Have a Mission in Mind? Don’t Worry! We got some for you!

  • Partner with a family in inner-city Denver and walk with them through real-life challenges—financial strain, medical needs, abuse recovery, or hardship. Each family’s struggles are different, so their needs will vary. You choose how often to serve, but you're committing to people—not just a cause—by showing up, helping however they need, and building a relationship that grows over time.

  • Support an under-resourced school in inner-city Denver by coming alongside students, teachers, and families with whatever they need most—supplies, mentorship, facility upgrades, meals, or encouragement. Every school faces different challenges, so your support will vary, but the commitment is the same: show up, serve consistently, and build a relationship that makes a lasting impact.

  • Commit to serving a specific neighborhood block in inner-city Denver—meeting real needs like food insecurity, clean-up efforts, youth engagement, or community events. Every block is different, and the needs will change over time. But your commitment stays the same: show up, build trust, and be a consistent presence that brings hope and transformation to the area.
