Overview

Mission

Advancing the well-being of all coloradans through relationships free from abuse and oppression.

What it reported doing in 2024

Systems & public policy advocacy: violence free Colorado advocates for systemic change that positively impacts survivors of domestic violence by lobbying for legislative change (at the state and federal level), providing input on court rules and state agency policies, and participating on statewide committees and work groups. Violence free Colorado also educates member programs on the policy process and hosts a public policy committee composed of a variety of organizational and individual partners, including survivors of domestic violence.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 79% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
