Wapiyapi is a Denver-based nonprofit organization offering a community of hope and support to families with childhood cancer. Our free camps, retreats and supportive services provide children with cancer and their families from Colorado, and beyond, a brief respite from their disease. Through participation in a variety of therapeutic group activities, our participants learn that they do not face their challenges alone. At Wapiyapi we know that our programs improve the mental health and outlook of our participants who are often stigmatized by childhood cancer and its effects upon their family. Healing does not always happen in hospitals. At Wapiyapi we establish additional circles from which families may draw the strength, support and inspiration necessary to continue healing.
The artwork on view at the American Museum of Western Art represents a cross section of paintings that survey the art of the American West from the early 19th century through the age of industrialization. During the relatively short period of history illustrated by this collection, the West was transformed from Indian territory unknown to most inhabitants of the eastern United States into a settled region. Within only 90 years after the Louisiana Purchase, the “Old West” of Indian buffalo hunters, mountain men, pioneers, gold-seekers, and open-range cowboys had passed into history. Prior to its installation in the Navarre building in 1999, selections from The Anschutz Collection were widely exhibited throughout the United States and were also shown in Canada (Calgary), in Europe (Helsinki, Brussels, Munich, London, Paris, and Vienna), in the People’s Republic of China (Beijing and Shanghai), and in the former Soviet Union (Moscow, Novosibirsk, Tbilisi, and Leningrad). In addition to extensive exhibitions across the United States and abroad, 110 paintings from the Collection were exhibited at the Denver Art Museum in 2000 under the title “Painters and the American West”. While paintings from The Anschutz Collection have on occasion been loaned to other institutions for exhibition, the Collection remained private and unavailable for public viewing until 2010 when the American Museum of Western Art was founded as its permanent home. The Anschutz Collection surveys the history of the development of American Art as it pertains to the West and provides examples from all of the schools that contributed to that development.

Reading, writing, computing and arithmetic - The fundamentals of education have changed. It’s hard to imagine a job that doesn’t use a computer in some way shape or form, yet Colorado’s school system has struggled to close the technology gap for under-resourced youth. The gap between rich and poor is also a gap between those who have access to the opportunities technology brings and those without. In 2004, KidsTek, in collaboration with the University of Denver's Colorado Community-Based Research Network wrote a research study of the technology gap in Colorado - and its ramifications for our kids. Since KidsTek's inception, we have been working to to bridge that digital divide.

The Denver Police Orphans’ Fund began in 1948 when Officer Joe Hale, an orphan himself, along with Officers Jerry Mangan and Warren Terry provided Christmas gifts to children of deceased officers. Their initial intention was to remind the children they were still part of the Denver Police family. In 1973 the Denver Police Orphans’ Fund was incorporated and by 1976 achieved status as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity organization which focuses on education. The mission of the Fund is to support the advanced education of children of deceased police officers who've dedicated their lives to serving and protecting the citizens of Denver. What makes the Denver Police Orphans’ Fund remarkable is it’s almost entirely funded by the officers themselves. The Fund is managed by a Board of Directors of active police officers, in addition to professional financial and tax advisors, who generously donate their services. The Fund has made it possible for dozens and dozens of children of fallen and deceased Denver Police Officers to overcome financial adversity and achieve their educational goals of undergraduate degrees or professional certifications.
