About Mdc Richmond American Homes Foundation
A $2,000,000 general operating grant to The Cell in Denver stands out in Mdc Richmond American Homes Foundation’s recent record, because it shows the foundation backing civic and cultural institutions with flexible support at a very high level. That pattern continues across its largest awards: National Western Stock Show received $1,010,000 in 2024, while National Jewish Health received $540,000 and Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation received $525,000 the same year. The foundation’s grantmaking centers on building stronger communities through shelter, equitable housing and health care, tolerance, and aid for people in need. Its recent recipients also show a strong interest in organizations that can anchor community life, including Regis University, The Denver Post Community Foundation, Denver Art Museum, and Community Foundation of Boulder County. Much of the giving is tied to Denver and the broader Colorado nonprofit landscape, but the portfolio also includes support for organizations serving veterans, disaster relief efforts, and health-related causes. Across these awards, the foundation appears to favor unrestricted support that helps established nonprofits sustain ongoing work rather than funding narrow, one-off projects.
What Mdc Richmond American Homes Foundation Funds
Housing and shelter are core themes in the foundation’s recent awards. Food Bank of the Rockies received $100,000 for general operating support, and Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation received $53,500 for general operating support, showing attention to basic needs and community health infrastructure. Health care access is another clear priority: National Jewish Health received $220,000 in 2025 after earlier support of $540,000 in 2024 and $55,000 in 2023, while Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation received $525,000 in 2024. The foundation also funds community institutions that shape civic life. Regis University received $500,000 in 2025, and The Denver Post Community Foundation received $400,000 in 2025 and $200,000 in 2024. The presence of Simon Wiesenthal Center Inc in the recent grants list also aligns with the foundation’s stated interest in tolerance and social cohesion.

The foundation is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.
