Since 2012, we have led the efforts to elevate philanthropy in communities of color in the Denver Metro area. We have been at the forefront of giving and providing an avenue for Black men to be on the supply side of philanthropy.

 

Our Mission

To positively impact the Greater Denver Metro Area by giving our time, talent, treasure and testimony to those in greatest need.


Since 2013, DAAP has strategically supported several non-profit organizations in the Denver community with over $15,000.00 in Grants. We hope to double that in the next year.
