What College Access Navigators Inc does
Mission
Non-profit organization specializing in helping youth prepare for college by providing them iwth resources for college applications, financial aid and scholarships.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The First-Gen Near-Peer Mentoring Program (FGNP) is a mentoring initiative that pairs first-generation college students across Colorado with K12 youth to foster a strong sense of belonging through social-emotional mentorship. Over the course of the academic year, mentors meet with their mentees weekly through one-on-one and small-group sessions that center belonging, emotional wellness, and identity development. These meaningful connections create spaces where youth can talk openly about identity, mental health, and how to navigate educational systems, while celebrating their languages and resilience.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2024 to 2025, from $58k to $402k (+597%).
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: 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of COLLEGE ACCESS NAVIGATORS INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
COLLEGE ACCESS NAVIGATORS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 66% of grant income and the top three 99%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
33% 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 COLLEGE ACCESS NAVIGATORS INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $100k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
