Mission and programs · 2022
Mission
Over 36 years, DUG has built a network of 190 community gardens across six counties in metro Denver, increasing food access and educating all ages. Our vision is a city rich with accessible green spaces and a food system that is just and equitable for all with universal access to fresh, healthy food and the knowledge and resources to grow your own.
Activities or mission (Part I)
DUG's mission is to provide the access, skills, and resources for people to grow healthy food in community and regenerate urban green spaces.
-
DUG supports 200 community gardens and 20 food forests in seven Metro Denver counties serving 18,004 gardeners while impacting over 40,000 Coloradans. Our program ensures that the gardens are well built and responsive to their specific environment, whether located at schools, parks, neighborhoods, senior communities, or low-income housing. We maintain the physical infrastructure as well as the human infrastructure ensuring well-functioning communities through training, fiscal sponsorship and being the interface between gardeners and landowners. Estimated pounds of food grown 627,926. In 2022 the Food Forest Initiative launched with the goal of planting accessible food forest in small, underutilized areas in public spaces and community gardens.
Expenses $1,187,290 · Revenue $469,740

Education Programs: DUG offers garden, nutrition, and ecology-related workshops and school programming. DUG was awarded the multi-year Healthy Food for Denver's Kids grant and collaborated to offer online cooking classes and meals for students and families across Denver. The Master Composter Program continues to operate with virtual and in person training sessions and a variety of other workshops available to the community. In addition, DUG launched its online community network, giving gardeners the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and showcase their progress over the season.
Expenses $528,001 · Revenue $208,899

DUG's food access programs (Grow a Garden) continue to expand and provided 1,500 primarily low-income participants with 16,000 seed packets, 11,800 seedlings and garden know-how to grow good food. DUG's network of gardeners provided approximately 62,500 lbs. of excess produce to the local community through partnerships with hunger relief organizations and Fresh Food Connect.
