Overview

Mission

The Mission of Kidpower of Colorado Springs is to teach young people personal safety and confidence-building skills to reduce their risk of abduction, assault, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.

What it reported doing in 2024

School/Agency Workshops: School/Agency Workshops provide training for teachers, counselors and school staff, as well as students. The Kidpower approach ensures that every child practices every skill presented through carefully formatted activities and role-plays that build confidence, self-esteem, and awareness in dealing with strangers adults children know and bullies. Pre-school and kindergarten classes are presented in two one-hour segments.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
