Donate Items on our Wish List
During the fourteen years since TUF began, we have been blessed by individual donations of money, goods, and time. Last year, volunteers contributed nearly 26,000 hours of service to help us with building projects, bookkeeping, animal care, children’s classes, gardening, etc. If you are interested in volunteering at TUF, contact us at info@theurbanfarm.org.
Cash gifts are critical to TUF’s sustainability. Contributors may choose to donate via our annual mail campaign, through participation at one of several fundraising events, or simply as a cash gift at any time of the year. Contributions may be made in the form of a check or money order or via PayPal. Should you be interested in including TUF in your estate planning, please contact Donna Garnett at 720-810-5475.
Donated goods are an important aspect of our program. Occasionally, we take donations of livestock (e.g. sound, healthy, kid-safe horses) provided we have space and resources for those animals. All animal donations are on a trial-basis pending usefulness of the animal and the animal’s adjustment to our environment.
Following is our current WISH LIST. Please keep us in mind should you have any of these items to donate.

The annual operating budget for TUF is just under $400,000. Almost 60% of our revenues come from class fees and field trips. In addition, we get some funding from private foundations and through the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. We do not get any government funding, nor do the homebuilders in Stapleton contribute financially to The Urban Farm. We are dependent upon personal and corporate contributions for more than $100,000 of our annual budget.
As of 2005, TUF has been designated as a Denver Enterprise Zone organization, and as such there are major advantages to individuals and businesses that make donations. Contributors get the standard use of itemization on IRS and state tax returns, but also get an additional direct 25% tax credit on Colorado state taxes owed for donations of $500.00 or more. In-kind donations of securities, land and goods valued at $1,000 or more receive a 12.5% state tax credit.
