Connecting the people and businesses of East Colfax
The East Colfax Neighborhood Association (ECNA) is a volunteer-led group of neighbors working to support a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient community along the East Colfax corridor in Denver.
We are renters and homeowners, longtime residents and newcomers, parents, small business owners, artists, and advocates. Together, we aim to:
Build community through regular meetings, events, and outreach
Share helpful resources and information with our neighbors
Represent our neighborhood in conversations with the city and beyond
Whether you’re here to get involved, stay informed, or simply learn more about your neighborhood, we’re glad you’re here.
We host monthly community meetings that connect residents across backgrounds and blocks—creating space for voices to be heard, questions to be asked, and ideas to take root.
We share local resources and timely updates to help neighbors stay informed, supported, and ready to take action when it matters most.
We support neighborhood events that bring people together—whether it’s a cleanup, a block party, or a forum on housing—because connection is the foundation of community.
And we advocate for East Colfax with city leaders and agencies, making sure our neighborhood is not only seen, but heard.
