The Prosperity Denver Fund

Prosperity Denver Fund (PDF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that offers financial reimbursement to qualifying nonprofits that provide college scholarships or other postsecondary training support to Denver students. The organization was started in 2018, after Denver voters passed a ballot initiative known as Prosperity Denver. The ordinance called for a 0.08% sales tax (less than one cent on $10) to be distributed in the form of reimbursements to nonprofits providing scholarships to Denver students. PDF exists to reimburse qualifying organizations, called “supporting organizations.” During the organization’s brief history, it has funded thousands of scholarships and made millions of dollars in reimbursements.
