Overview

Mission

Empowering and uplifting the 19-35 year old LGBTQIA+ community through education, mutual aid, and inclusive events.

What it reported doing in 2025

Denver The Next Generation (Denver TNG) served approximately 100 LGBTQIA+ community members over the tax reporting period. Service included an inaugural Town Hall, providing membership their first opportunity to provide structured feedback directly to program management. The Town Hall also launched the Denver TNG suggestion box, which is an ongoing program evaluation tool that the community can use to provide feedback. Community feedback was incorporated into the programming calendar for 2026. Programming included monthly classes provided by established educators, with our highest attended class centering around the pitfalls of Restorative Justice and more holistic methods that can be used for in-community accountability. The organization also saw considerable growth in volunteers, increasing the volunteer team from three individuals to 10 volunteers by the end of the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
