Trinity Second Century Foundation

Serving Downtown and Metro Denver since 1984

Trinity Second Century Foundation serves and ministers to people in need by providing financial resources to outreach ministries and programs in downtown Denver and the Denver metropolitan area. The Foundation was established as a permanent endowment in 1984 by members of Trinity United Methodist Church to raise funds and accept contributions from individuals and groups in order to provide financial support to local outreach programs. The support of the church, the generosity and commitment of the members, the incorporation of funds from the Ezra Bell Foundation and the partnership with community organizations has resulted in services to our neighbors that help support their goal of self-sufficiency.

An all-volunteer board of Trinity members administers the Foundation, works to increase the size of the endowment and decides what programs to support. The board welcomes new members with diverse talents and skills, such as finance, marketing, nonprofit administration, grant evaluation, public relations and planned giving/development experience. Financial contributions are always welcome.
