See what impact some of our
members have made over the
last years.
Legacy Partners believes in
supporting the community in multiple
ways. Our staff are provided 8-hours
a year in paid volunteer hours.
We also have been an active participant
for more than 10+years in Spring
Clean, an AAMD sponsored annual
workday supporting Family Homestead.
Employees help lower operating costs
for their transitional housing program
by assisting with clean-up, painting and
repairs to apartments.
Additionally, with the support of
Adams county, Legacy Partners provides
community guidance to youth exiting
or aging out of the foster care program.
Legacy staff teach life skills and basic
apartment knowledge such as how to
shut off water and the inner workings of
an apartment in outreach workshops.
We are proud of our dedicated Griffis
Residential team that has partnered with
two organizations that give back to our
Denver community. Extreme Community
Makeover is an organization that works
with volunteers throughout Denver to
improve homes and neighborhoods.
They cultivate community among residents,
neighborhoods and networks of local
resources. Urban Peak is dedicated to
short-term and long-term solutions for
teenagers facing homelessness and the
various accompanying hardships. This
year we gathered together on multiple
occasions to cook a healthy meal to serve
to the youth as well as fill their pantry.
Through our GR Gives initiative, we
offer every Associate 8 hours of volunteer
time every year to help at non-profits
such as these. We are currently working to
start an independent Public Charity that
will combine financial assistance, in-kind
donation, volunteerism, and expertise in
construction and capital projects to help
those less fortunate in our communities.

Grand Peaks believes in giving back
to the community. We have a task force
that votes on the charities we support
with causes our teams want to have an
impact on like American Cancer Society,
PetAid, and Operation Gratitude.
To support our communities and our
team’s passion to serve, we provide
up to 8 hours of paid time off each
year to employees who volunteer.
Each property promotes their own
charity by decorating their offices and
announcing the event to the residents.
They also try to involve the residents to
raise awareness of the cause and allow
the residents the opportunity to help
support the charity and give back.
Our most memorable partnership was
in November 2017 when TAVA team
members volunteered at Denver’s Ronald
McDonald House to cook and serve lunch
for the families and patients who were
staying there while receiving treatments.
During a tour of the facility, we learned
the House was in need of some help to
replace old, broken toilets with newly
donated ones. Without being asked,
our maintenance team jumped at the
opportunity to provide further assistance
and arranged a third volunteer day to get
the work done at no cost to the shelter.
Through its FAMLI Volunteer program,
AMLI Residential proudly supports various
local non-profits. Most recently, 73 AMLI
employees packaged 11,640 lbs of food
at Food Bank of the Rockies – that’s
enough to feed 9,144 families or 36,576
individuals! AMLI residents and employees
also collected 311 warm coats for Coats
For Colorado last October.
Making a difference by protecting our
environment is a high priority for AMLI too.
AMLI employees supported the Denver
Department of Parks and Recreation by
sweeping and painting curbs, relocating
mulch, and cleaning up trash at Congress
Park. Giving back is a mainstay of AMLI’s
culture, and AMLI’s employees and
residents take great pride in supporting
their local community.
“We hope to make a difference in the
communities we live, work and play in.”
