Mile High United Way was founded in Denver Oct. 16, 1887. It is the oldest United Way in the U.S.  \nTwo years ago, the board of trustees for Mile High United Way determined it should look for anew home.  \n“We have been in our current building for the past 28 years,”Benero said.  \n“The board, very wisely, determined that we should put out feelers regarding selling the building in Highland, considering everything happening in the Highland area,” she said.  \nThe neighborhood has gone through a tremendous Renaissance and now boasts apartment communities that receive the highest rents in all of Denver.  \n“It was a very diverse and wonderful neighborhood when we moved into our building. Who would have known that 28 years later it would be the hottest real estate in town?”  \nLast April, as first reported by CREJ, Mile High sold its building site to Southern Land Co. for $10 million.  \nThat money will cover almost half the construction cost of the new building, which is scheduled to be completed in August and occupied next fall.  \n“We worked with Jones Lang LaSalle to sell the building and we had a tremendous relationship with them,” Benero said.  \n“They did a great job for us and they have been great supporters of Mile High United Way,” she said.  \nWhen Mile High United Way sold the building, the site was not yet chosen for its new headquarters, but Southern Land Co. gave it time.  \nOne of the purposes of a new building is to help that neighborhood economically.  \nThat is part of its mission and what it did in Highland almost 30 years ago.  \n“To fulfill our mission, we ended up looking at over 30 pieces of property,” Benero site.  \n“We ended up buying this land in historic Curtis Park from the Denver Housing Authority,” she said.  \n“We really think this is a wonderfully diverse neighborhood that is on the brink of a real transformation,” she said.  \n“They call this a gateway to downtown.”  \nDenver Mayor Michael B. Hancock called Mile High United Way’s decision to construct its building in Curtis Park a “turning point” for the neighborhood that he said would be the catalyst for a wider transformation for residents and businesses in the area.  \nMile High United Way bought the 47,000-sf property from DHA for $1.5 million.  \nOne thing the board made clear was fundraising for the more than 100 programs sponsored by Mile High United Way could not go toward the new building.  \nIn fiscal 2013, it raised $14.6 million in unrestricted donations, but none of that money is earmarked for the building.  \n“We held a ‘quiet’ capital campaign to fund the building,” Ben-  \nero said.  \nBy quiet, she said, it targeted certain groups and organizations, rather than launch a public effort to fund the building.  \nTo date, it has received gifts from a number of organizations including:  \n• Morgridge Family Foundation – $4 million;  \n• The Anschutz Foundation – $1 million;  \n• The city and county of Denver – $1 million; and  \n• PCL Construction – $200,000. PCL is also the general contractor on the design-build headquarters. Davis Partnership Architects is designing the LEED Silver-certified building.  \nIn addition, CoBank last November agreed to give $1 million for the new building.  \n“Mile High United Way has been an essential part of the fabric of this community for more than 100 years,” Mary McBride, CoBank’s president, ","cbCainJTyGmyDmn1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainJTyGmyDmn1","pdf",302922,"English","# United Way headquarters financing overview\n## Relocation decision and property acquisition\n## Capital campaign and key funding sources\n## NMTC process and financial advisers\n## Construction timeline, jobs, and facility features\n## Sustainability and expected community impact","[{\"question\":\"Why did Mile High United Way decide to build a new headquarters?\",\"answer\":\"The board determined it should look for a new home after 28 years in its current building and pursued relocation tied to broader neighborhood revitalization.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the headquarters capital campaign structured and what major donors contributed?\",\"answer\":\"The organization held a “quiet” capital campaign targeting specific groups and organizations, with contributions including Morgridge Family Foundation ($4 million), Anschutz Foundation ($1 million), Denver city and county ($1 million), and PCL Construction ($200,000), plus additional funding such as CoBank’s $1 million.\"},{\"question\":\"What financing mechanism supported the development and what outcomes are expected?\",\"answer\":\"The New Market Tax Credit program and NMTC investor allocation were used with SB Clark as a financial adviser.
