-2012 is the 10th Anniversary of the Lowry Foundation Grant Awards! -

The Lowry Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2012 Foundation Grant recipients have been awarded!  The intent of the Community Grant Program is to redirect funds into the community for projects that will enrich life at Lowry. These programs clearly demonstrate how they serve the Lowry community through programs of artistic, cultural, educational, historic, recreational and scientific value. They distinctly promote volunteer and community involvement as well as Lowry community assets. The Board of Directors would like to thank Pinnacol Assurance for their donation as a Community Grant Sponsor, Qdoba, the Lowry Town Center Merchants / Wine Walk and the Lowry Community Master Association for their generous contributions to this Grant program.  The 2012 Lowry Foundation Grants were awarded to:

  • Ekar Farms and Community Gardens for a new Farm Stand, of which matching amounts of food sold will be donated to food shelters.
  • Wings Over the Rockies Museum to partially fund a fence around the B52 bomber
  • Schlessman Family Library to help fund the Fresh City Life/My Branch Programs
  • Denver Urban Gardens to help fund and support their ongoing 5 community gardens and for a seed /transplant distribution center in Lowry

The Reading Garden

The Lowry Reading Garden is located at 5th and Trenton. The Reading Garden provides contemplative spaces or “reading rooms” that provide solitude or a place for friends and school groups to gather and enjoy and appreciate great literature. Inspiring seating areas, shelters, sculptures and famous quotations along with a library of Lowry resident’s favorite book titles are incorporated into the park’s features. Lewis and Jane Borden kindly donated the art structures for the Reading Garden, which won the Mayor’s Design Award in 2009.
