Overview

Mission

English classes

What it reported doing in 2024

Last year we provided English classes to 177 adult students from 40 countries. Our operating funds were essential in sustaining our two part-time employees who coordinate volunteers, support students, and manage daily operations. With 90 dedicated volunteers, we relied on their contributions to teach, assist in classrooms, and serve on committees for marketing, fundraising, and grant writing. Many volunteers are retirees who give back, strengthening ELC and the Denver community. In 2024, ELC conducted one fundraising event, securing sponsorships with local businesses continued grant writing and refreshed our Board. By strategically allocating funds and volunteers, we've maximized volunteer engagement, expanded outreach, and strengthened financial sustainability for long-term growth. Total organization expenses cover provision of classroom training, specific skills training and tutoring. Prorated expenses based on income by program are: $59,017 for classes, $3,130 for skills and $5,236 for tutoring.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
