Heartbeat Denver Working Men’s Shelter can’t achieve our mission alone. Our men pay fees (approximately $440,000) that bring in about 65% of our operating budget ($680,000).
We hope to make up the monetary shortfall from a variety of sources.
- Corporate sponsors
- Foundations and Grants
- Churches
- Individual Donations
Your contribution makes a difference in the lives of men going through our program.
NOTE: At this time we receive no direct government funding. However, the Justice System organizations often provide housing vouchers to men being released from jail.

We get much more support than just money. We also get donations of clothes, accessories, toiletries and computers. And of course we have volunteers who help us in a wide variety of ways.

Help Us Buy New Bunks and Mattresses
Our beds were originally donated from a girls dormitory over 30 years ago. They are under sized and standard single mattresses hang over the edge by about 3 inches. We have 100 beds. The cost of new Beds and Mattresses is approximately $100,000. We’d like to reach our goal by the end of 2025.
