Breakthrough Solutions that Expand Opportunity
Gary Community Ventures partners with our community to reshape the arc of opportunity for Colorado kids and families. We believe that business, policy and philanthropy can—and—should work together to solve the toughest problems facing our community. That’s why we use our resources to make impact investments, fund policy change, provide philanthropic grants, and incubate new social change solutions through our venture studio.

Improving Outcomes for Kids and Families
Our vision is that all children in Colorado have the opportunity to grow up healthy and reach their full potential. That’s why we aim to improve life outcomes for kids and families in the areas of School Readiness, Youth Success and Family Economic Mobility.
Our Commitment to Racial Equity
Systems of racial oppression continue to keep promising communities of color from the opportunities that have helped others reach their highest potential at faster rates. Gary is committed to understanding the systems of racial oppression faced by our communities. We acknowledge our individual and collective privilege and actively incorporate diverse perspectives to advance racial equity in everything we do to create a more just Colorado.
