ENDOWMENT GUIDE
CHANGING A CITY FOR GENERATIONS.
WHERE WE ARE By 2020, CrossPurpose had successfully completed a five-year goal to get 1,000 people out of poverty through career and community development. We are now pursuing a new strategic plan to expand the program and bring over 5,000 men, women and children out of poverty by 2025.
WHY ENDOWMENT? As one of the few programs in the Denver Metro Area that offers a development-based solution to poverty, we want to continue to grow our model that empowers and uplifts the people we serve. The long-term security of an endowment will allow CrossPurpose to sustainably scale impact, bringing families out of poverty in Denver for decades to come. Twenty years from now, our goal is to see our endowment fund 50% of annual operations.

NEW IN 2022: CROSSPURPOSE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL Give Different Society To broaden philanthropic giving with a legacy impact, CrossPurpose is creating our first Professional Advisory Council, the Give Different Society, launching July 2022. The purpose of this council is to serve as a collective body of experts advocating for the value of philanthropy and high impact charitable giving in our community. We are seeking business leaders in financial planning, accounting, estate planning, insurance and others in similar advisory fields to join the Give Different Society.
