About Jeffco Human Services Foundation
Jeffco Human Services Foundation is a nonprofit, community-based organization created to promote innovations that move families from poverty to prosperity. We partner with initiatives that provide services and opportunities that enable Colorado families to thrive in our community.
We support programs like Jeffco Prosperity Partners (JPP) and additional innovations that directly impact local families and contribute to the resiliency of our community.
What is an Anti-Event Fundraiser, you ask?
Well, it's an event unlike any other because, well, it's not an event at all! That's right, you can leave your formal attire, fancy shoes, and dance moves at home because this fundraiser is all about embracing the comfort of your own space while making a meaningful impact.
Thanks to Metro West Housing Solutions and Foothills Housing Authority, your contribution to our Anti-Event Fundraiser goes twice as far. Every dollar helps JPP families access essential resources and coaching services, empowering them toward self-sufficiency. Donate today and be a part of something incredible!
