Overview

Mission

The mission of pikes peak suicide prevention partnership is to unite the community in addressing suicide in the pikes peak region through education, intervention, and positive motivation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Ppspp served a total of 9,993 community members across our progams. The related expenses were to support the training of 2,175 community members in suicde prevention, help provide materials for the 83 awareness events where ppspp distributed suicide prevention resource information to the community as well as the 76 school presentations where ppspp engaged outreach and education to local high school and middle school students. The revenue was driven by organizations who directly support these activities. Ppspp brought out loss (local outreach to suicide surviriors) team to 100% operational, providing immediate support to surivivors on the scene of a suicide and then on-going support as the surviviors navigate their loss. Ppspp also created an awareness campaign regarding the safe storage of medications that was distributed to primary care providers, dentist offices and pharmacies.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
