We are Lincoln Charities. We are for
people. Our goal is to try to add hope
to an impossible situation and to reset
things to zero financially to empower the
next step after a catastrophe.

At Zócalo, it is a core value to rebuild
and strengthen vibrant, inclusive, equitable
communities. We created the Zócalo
Partnership to extend our commitment
beyond our daily operations and create
a robust partnership that allows us to
support causes and nonprofits through
giving, volunteer efforts and engagement
at our properties.
In 2018, our staff selected Re:Vision,
a Denver-based nonprofit working with
people in the Westwood neighborhood to
cultivate thriving, resilient communities, as
our partner. Beginning in January 2019 and
running through December 2020, Zócalo
will partner with Re:Vision to strengthen
the neighborhood by building an employee
task force to direct our work together,
scheduling annual volunteer days, providing
a $10,000 financial contribution, and
engaging residents in drives and volunteer
efforts at each of our properties.
Mission Rock is proud to provide
volunteer support to the Ronald
McDonald House Charities. They are an
independent nonprofit organization that
provides a home environment for families
when they have a hospitalized child.
The families are provided with home-
cooked meals, private rooms, and
playrooms for the siblings. This allows
a family to focus on the health of their
child, rather than cooking meals or
cleaning. The Ronald McDonald House
helps millions of families with sick
children find comfort and support.

Our mission is to serve our
employees and their families in times
of need, distress, or tragedy. We are
dedicated to the purpose of inspiring
hope and restoring welfare through
the generosity of our employees,
residents, and business partners.
B.R.I.D.G.E.
In October 2018, RedPeak volunteered
for 2 days with Extreme Community
Makeover, on multiple projects throughout
the Denver Urban neighborhoods.
Extreme Community Makeover is a
partnership with residents of specific
Denver neighborhoods to complete home
and neighborhood improvement projects.
During our volunteer days, we clean up
alley ways from debris and overgrowing
weeds, as well as completed house
projects for residents in the Westwood
neighborhood, SE of downtown Denver.
RedPeak was happy to devote a day
helping out our neighbors and residents
of these neighborhoods, since after all
we are a Denver based and Denver
focused company.
Our employees participate in the
B.R.I.D.G.E. program by volunteering
at any institution, agency or community
service program. CWS contributions
to the chosen cause by rewarding
each employee $20 per hour for each
volunteer hour contributed up to
12 hours per year ($240). Half of the
funds are given to employee to donate
as they wish and the other half is pooled
together for larger donations to be
given out at the end of each year.
As a company in 2017 through
our team member’s hard work and
dedication we raised $110,032, which
was donated back the organizations
we supported. Some of the non-profit
events CWS employees’ participated
in last year include; Stand Up Cancer,
Code Red Heart.org, Safehouse Denver
and Project Linus. The Colorado
region received nation recognition
for contributing over 300 hours of
volunteering in 2018.

Every October, Simpson Property Group
hosts a Make a Difference Day event across
the country. Employees select organizations
to volunteer their time at, including
Wellspring, Volunteers of America, Shiloh
House, and Zuma’s Ranch. We choose to
support organizations that align with our
core beliefs and the services that we offer.
We spent our day performing a variety
of activities, including assisting adults
with disabilities, feeding the homeless,
sorting food at the food bank, painting
and cleaning, spending time with children
from low income families, and winterizing
the ranch. We volunteered over 600 hours
in Colorado with these organizations.
Nationwide, we volunteered over 4,000
hours to over 20 organizations during Make
a Difference Day 2018.
