Each year Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver works to serve approximately 150 local families. Since its founding in 1979, they have served more than 1,350 families, equating to 5,400 adults and children.

$1,500 donated to the Club Q Victims & Survivors Compassion Fund.
On November 19, 2022, a gunman opened fire at Club Q in Colorado Springs, CO, killing five people, wounding 17 and injuring others. Faith Haug, a local LGBT businesswoman, started a fund for those directly impacted by the shooting and asked the National Compassion Fund to administer it. DMAR's Leadership Council donated $1,500 to this fund, which will benefit the loved ones of the people who were killed, those who were injured and those who were present and suffered psychological trauma.
