Overview

Mission

We support, guide, and connect the community and individuals in times of crisis.

What it reported doing in 2025

The number of first responders and their immediate family utilizing our therapeutic services increased by 44%. We added a full time executive director position and a full time program director to increase our capacity of both administrative/fundraising and programming operations. We hosted a 4-day training for 17 first responders from Summit County, Grand County and Routt County as part of the Peer Support program. Additionally, we supported over 500 people through on-scene and debriefing services, and added 4 new people to our volunteer response team with a total of 24 active members. All members have received over 20 hours of professional training. We provided support for 100% of critical incidents in Routt County (situations involving an unattended/unexpected death that Routt County first responder departments are called to). We created the High County Peer Support Coalition to bring together established Peer Teams so we can support neighboring counties. We are working with Summit County Law Enforcement to help build and oversee their Peer Support Team. We are supporting Jackson, Rio Blanco and Moffatfollowing critical incidents with debriefing support. We are building and overseeing a Wellness Program for the Steamboat Police Department.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
