Overview

Mission

The goldlab foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health care in Colorado by addressing medical, social and cultural issues that effect health.

What it reported doing in 2024

The goldlab foundation (glf) hosted the 16th annual goldlab symposium in may of 2025. We invited speakers and the general public to attend in person in boulder, Colorado or virtually. Most of the audience, around 300 people over the course of two days, participated in-person. We had approximately another 50-75 that participated virtually. The symposium was live streamed on the goldlab foundation website and the audience was able to ask questions through slido, an online engagement platform.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
