Overview
Mission
Team summit is a youth development organization empowering our athletes to realize and celebrate their personal podiums through athletics, education and life skills by participating in innovative programming at our world class venues.
What it reported doing in 2025
Programs begin with our intro programs focusing on the sports fundamentals and progress with the athletes to our academic, postgraduate and masters athlete programs that enable athletes to train and focus on national and international competitions. Current programs include nordic, alpine, freeski and snowboard on-snow activities along with mountain biking and year-round dry-land physical training programs. We also have out of school programs for mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding. Team summit Colorado has 1,128 athletes. Currently, there are 181 athletes in our alpine program, 221 in our freeski program, 259 in our intro program, 70 in our nordic program, 202 in our mountain biking program, 37 in our snowboard program, and 198 in our after school programs. Team summit Colorado operates programs at a-basin, breckenridge, copper mountain and keystone resorts, as well as breckenridge, gold run, silverthorne and frisco nordic centers, and at the frisco adventure park.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 87% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
