Our community
Community is one of our three core values.
Sunny, mile-high Denver has given so much to us as a business that we couldn’t imagine opening our doors anywhere else. Since our beginning in 2005, engagement with the local community and giving back have been baked into YellowDog culture. It’s just who we are. Through business association memberships and collaborations with local nonprofits, we’re making a positive pawprint locally.
Volunteering in our community
YellowDog is committed to sending its staff out into the community to volunteer with local organizations. Our previous projects have addressed food insecurity with local food banks, promoted literacy with partner charities and supported our environment with trash cleanups. We’re open to suggestions for our next DoGooder Day excursion! Get in touch if you have a half-day project for a small (four to eight people) team.
Donation drives
Our regular donation drives give our neighbors, clients, partners, and friends a chance to give back along with YellowDog. We’ve collected hygiene supplies, books, coats, socks, and pet food over the years, all to help meet the needs of our community.
YellowDog is a proud local member of:
B:CIVIC
B:CIVIC is the only organization in Colorado focused for professionals and business leaders in for-profit companies who are as passionate about giving back as they are about growing successful companies. B:CIVIC provides companies of all types and sizes the information, insight and a network to learn more about how to be civic-minded while meeting business goals.
