Community Matters

Urban Niche Realty believes the true value of a community is what people put into it. This can be as simple as planting a tree in the yard to volunteering at the local elementary school. Whatever efforts we make as individuals are made stronger by well established non-profits who are committed to serving communities on every level. Sometimes we aren't even aware of the needs these organizations meet but the improved quality of life for everyone is a benefit to all.

As part of our continuing pledge to support area non-profits who add so much value to the communities our clients live in, Urban Niche Realty has pledged to donate 3% of net commissions to the following organizations:

1. Dumb Friends League
2. Denver Urban Gardens
3. Denver Kids, Inc.
4. Lighthouse Writers Workshop

We thank you for supporting our Community Matters initiative.
