Overview

Mission

To provide safe shelter, support and advocacy for adults and their children, and to provide an end to violence against adults, youth and children through support, advocacy and community organizing.

What it reported doing in 2024

The outreach counseling program addresses a broad continuum of needs, from early intervention to long-term trauma recovery. Span's outreach counseling program provides individual, group, and family counseling services in spanish and english at span's boulder outreach center, at our tri-city program offices co-located in the sister carmen community center in lafayette, and in dedicated space at broomfield fish. Span provided individual, group and family counseling services to 627 adults and 257 children in 2024. This represents a 40% increase in the number of adults participating in span's counseling program services compared to the year before. . The transitional services program is focused on comprehensive, long-term support. Span's transitional services program provides intensive case management, resource navigation, housing advocacy, and innovative economic mobility programming. These services are designed to be empowering and client-centered, providing support and opportunity that create an environment where survivors who are underserved and chronically under- resourced can thrive. Housing stability must come first, and span's shelter-based housing hub offers residents intensive housing advocacy to help survivors transition directly from shelter into stable housing. Span also leverages significant resources to provide survivors with flexible financial support for rent, utilities, etc. Span's transitional service program provided critical basic needs support and intensive housing advocacy to 427 survivors and their children in 2024. . The training and community education program focuses on early intervention, prevention, and social change. Trainings and outreach inform community members about abuse and promote equity and social justice. Span also provides technical assistance and training to law enforcement, court staff, county staff, and other boulder county non-profits on the dynamics of intimate partner violence and its impact on marginalized and at-risk populations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 65% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
