The Downtown Denver Partnership is a non-profit business organization that creatively plans, manages and develops Downtown Denver as the unique, diverse, vibrant and economically healthy urban core of the Rocky Mountain region. Three boards fall under the Downtown Denver Partnership umbrella: Downtown Denver, Inc., Denver Civic Ventures, and the Downtown Denver Partnership Management Group. The Business Improvement District (BID), is a public organization funded by private commercial property owners. It strives to provide a clean, safe and vibrant Downtown environment for workers, residents and visitors. Through their annual assessments to this quasi-governmental entity, BID property owners fund a series of district-wide programs that enhance Downtown Denver, including cleaning and maintenance efforts, safety initiatives and targeted visitor marketing. The BID is an independent organization, with a separate board of directors, that contracts with the Downtown Denver Partnership to manage its work program.
