John’s music clearly reflects the conscience of a concerned citizen, a man working for the improvement of the quality of life for all people – environmentally, socially and politically. He was asked to serve as a member of the Presidential Commission on World and Domestic Hunger and was one of the five founders of The Hunger Project – an organization committed to the sustainable end of chronic hunger. John was asked to be a member of the fact-finding delegation, which toured African countries devastated by drought and starvation as a representative of the Hunger project and UNICEF. Because of his tireless effort and dedication, Denver was awarded the Presidential “World Without Hunger” Award.

John also received recognition from many governments for his concerts about global hunger problems. Other causes that John supported include The National Wildlife Federation, Save The Children, The Cousteau Society, Friends of The Earth and the Human/Dolphin Foundation, to name just a few.
