As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Education - Peer Support Professional Training: CMWN is the first-ever peer-run behavioral health organization to offer Peer Support training in Colorado. We are Colorado's premier provider of PSP training, which equips individuals living in recovery with the tools to support others in moving toward wellness. This non-clinical approach is uniquely effective as it reduces the power differential between parties and allows the PSP and participant to work toward the participant's goals through a lens of shared experience. CMWN's virtual PSP trainings, held 11 times per year, follow a robust 72-hour curriculum originally developed with the support of the National Association of Peer Supporters (NAPS). Trainings are delivered by individuals from diverse backgrounds, and this diversity-across race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and lived experiences-ensures that our trainings are culturally responsive and resonate with a wide range of participants. Since 2012, CMWN has delivered PSP trainings to 672 individuals. Peer Support Supervisor Training: In addition to training PSPs directly, CMWN delivers virtual training three times per year for PS Supervisors, which we developed in…
$465,156 spent$523,957 earned by the program50% of program spendingPeer Pathways to Wellness: Peer Pathways to Wellness (PPTW) is CMWN's trailblazing direct peer support service program! It provides drop-in peer support in nontraditional settings like shelters and community centers without onsite clinicians. Our success in delivering this support stems from our comprehensive PSP training and supervision. Through PPTW, PSPs offer peer support with fidelity to the role, maintaining clear boundaries and recognizing when a situation requires a higher level of intervention. PSPs deliver dynamic, hands-on support, using their shared experience to connect empathetically with individuals with high mental health and/or substance use needs and little access to resources. They provide empathetic listening, tailored resource connections, mentoring, and the empowerment needed to foster personal growth and recovery. Our PSPs are deeply committed to listening and meeting people where they are as they assist them in accessing essential services such as food benefits, Medicaid, ID assistance, and detox and transitional housing recovery programs. Since its launch in 2019, we have supported over 18,314 people through this initiative. Pieces of Wellness Workshops:…

We believe that individuals with lived experience of mental health and substance use conditions should have a voice in shaping the policies that affect their lives while also advocating for the Peer Support Workforce. CMWN actively engages with legislators, stakeholders, and the broader community to advocate for policies that improve mental health services, harm reduction initiatives, and recovery support programs across the state. In addition, our Executive Director was nominated and elected as the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration's Chair of the Behavioral Health Planning and Advisory Council. Our Executive Director's contributions to this council position CMWN to lead statewide efforts in shaping behavioral health policy, advocating for community-driven solutions, and promoting equitable access to behavioral health services for all Coloradans.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2019 to 2020, from $154k to $728k (+373%).
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: 2018 95% · 2019 86% · 2020 83% · 2021 95% · 2022 93% · 2023 91% · 2024 86% · 2025 87%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of COLORADO MENTAL WELLNESS NETWORK’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $77k → $23.
4 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% 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 COLORADO MENTAL WELLNESS NETWORK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 6 of 7 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
COLORADO MENTAL WELLNESS NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 51% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
55% 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 COLORADO MENTAL WELLNESS NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 97% · 2019 92% · 2020 87% · 2021 82% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
100% of COLORADO MENTAL WELLNESS NETWORK's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k 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.
