What Audio Information Network of Colora does
Mission
Aftersight provides news, information, and resources in audio format for people who are blind, have low vision, or benefit from alternatives to print.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Aftersight is a nonprofit corporation that serves people with vision loss, blindness, or another need for an alternative to print. Our focus is to offer accessibility, education, and aging in place. We produce audio editions of print publications which use volunteers to convert newspapers, magazines, sales ads (and more) into accessible audio. Aftersight has approximately 145 volunteers that read, monitor programs, and assist with events. We also produce aftersight originals: podcasts for people living with vision loss or blindness. They offer education in podcast format to help people connect with benefits, learn about assistive technology, connect with others with vision loss, build mental health, and much more. ------------------------- see schedule o ---------------------------
$686,242 spent100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $686,242.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $487k to $810k (+66%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 88% · 2018 92% · 2019 86% · 2020 89% · 2021 86% · 2022 84% · 2023 80% · 2024 73%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of AUDIO INFORMATION NETWORK OF COLORA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (64% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 14 funders, grant income rose $34k → $159k.
8 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of AUDIO INFORMATION NETWORK OF COLORA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 19 of 20 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
AUDIO INFORMATION NETWORK OF COLORA has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 15% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
48% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AUDIO INFORMATION NETWORK OF COLORA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 40% · 2019 24% · 2020 24% · 2021 20% · 2022 18% · 2023 22% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
75% of AUDIO INFORMATION NETWORK OF COLORA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 85% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
AUDIO INFORMATION NETWORK OF COLORA draws 64% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $298k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
