About Michael Niyompong

Michael remembers the moment he decided to spend his career serving the community. He had made the switch out of the private sector and was a few days into his new role at Mile High United Way, one of Colorado’s oldest charitable organizations. As he walked out of the office to go home for the night, a car pulled up in front of him.Knowing the office was closed, Michael asked how he could help. The woman told him that her husband had just lost his job, they were kicked out of their home, and they needed somewhere to stay. He remembered what he’d learned in a meeting that week and pulled out his phone to call the 24-hour 2-1-1 helpline. Together, they found someone who could help.Since that evening, Michael has established himself as a recognized leader whose commitment to learning and passion for relationship building creates stronger, healthier communities across the country. Michael is a self-proclaimed “recovering engineer” motivated by purpose, mission, and his own constant curiosity. In his former roles as chief operating officer at Clayton Early Learning and chief engagement officer at WellPower, he was driven to make a difference by supporting initiatives that create more equitable communities.In his current role as the Executive Director of the Merage Philanthropies, he continues to contribute to the greater, more equitable good. His steady leadership has advanced the organization’s mission of creating opportunities for future generations through venture philanthropy.Michael was recognized for his work by The Denver Business Journal as one of its 40 under 40 leaders in 2013, selected as one of five Livingston Fellows in 2016, and was named by the Aspen Institute to the 2017 Ascend Fellowship. In 2022, Michael was honored by 9NEWS and the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation as a 9NEWS Leader of the Year Finalist and by The Denver Business Journal as a C-Suites Award winner.
