About the Hancock Foundation

Founded: October 2023

Founder/CEO: Michael B. Hancock, former three-term mayor of Denver. Michael is a nationally recognized leader in globalization, equity, aviation, economic development, and leadership.

Mission: The Hancock Foundation aims to promote increased cultural understanding and awareness in all segments of society through education and engagement.

Vision: The Hancock Family Foundation will promote in-depth education and courageous, creative vehicles of leadership to help build a more culturally tolerant, open, and competent society.

Our Values:

• We honor the heritage of all people, faiths, and orientations in our space.

• Education and awareness are our most valuable tools.

• We are NOT afraid to hear our truths, even when it means having long-standing beliefs dispelled.

• Our venues are neutral, safe places, even when we disagree.

• We look back for strength and look forward to progress.

• Every journey begins with the first step: courageous, honest, and transparent conversations.

• The best-proven method to a more accepting society is the will of the people deciding to change and pave the path to a more caring, inclusive, and culturally competent society. You can’t legislate acceptance and openness.
