Overview

Mission

Membership education/promote child health

What it reported doing in 2024

Education Programs - The Chapter received various education-focused grants during the year. The overall goal for these grants was to provide education that improves practice knowledge through hands-on applications, web-based discussions, in-person meetings, and communications via newsletter and email to our members and other pediatric providers across Colorado.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 64% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
