We believe in giving youth the educational, prevention, and treatment programs that best prepare them for a healthy and hopeful future.

The LARRK Foundation supports non-profit organizations that help children and adolescents obtain a high-quality education that prepares them for post-secondary success and provides access to excellent behavioral and mental health services.

We Believe…

Vision

We believe in taking the long view, and using intervention as the best form of prevention, avoiding negative outcomes by achieving a collective vision for the communities where we work.

Education

We believe Denver’s K-12 students deserve the opportunity to thrive. We focus on early childhood education as well as career-connected learning. We care about the mental wellbeing of children and youth.

Mental Health

We believe that mental health is the cornerstone to a healthy society. Supporting early mental health interventions lets our children, families, and communities thrive.

Cultural Institutions

Denver is a world-class city with incredible arts & culture. We believe that investing in these institutions helps keep it that way – to the benefit of all residents and visitors.

Looking Up

“What was seeded by LARRK Foundation’s generosity has blossomed into a virtuous circle that grows and grows.”
