The Underdog Family
The Underdog Family
Founder and President, 2020 - Present
Founded in June 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Underdog Family emerged to support struggling local businesses in Denver. Our volunteer network brought together skilled professionals to bridge the digital divide, providing essential services like website development, online ordering systems, professional photography, social media integration, and catering forms—all at no cost to the businesses.
Through skills-based volunteering, we helped businesses avoid the expense of full-time staff. Over the past three years, we’ve built 16 websites and generated over $200,000 in revenue for our partners, driven by the efforts of more than 30 volunteers.
Though our focus has evolved from individual businesses to empowering small groups with technical education, our mission to uplift the community continues. Learn more about our journey at iamtuf.org.
