What Colorado Springs Community Culture Collective at the Auditorium does
Mission
To create a true city facility affording access to all citizens for the purposes of relevant, inspired and thoughtful works of the human spirit - a collective and business community "for the use of the people and the glory of the city"
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Programs
Creative Workforce ProgramsWith extensive groundwork and research completed during the prior year, the CSCCC expanded its efforts as they related to the Creative Workforce Programming. In tandem with the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, rigorous and ongoing efforts were made to demonstrate need, proof of concept, curriculum development, industry partners as well as funding and revenue models. This was critical work that included presentations to the State and Federal Department of Labor as well as key regional partners such as El Paso County. This work was essential to the organization if the CSCCC were to secure the Innovations Award that would ultimately be the launching of this sustainability component of the Business Model.
$3,793,314 spent100% of program spendingThe CSCC leadership and Board of Directors created and maintained a Development and Fundraising plan specific to the Capital side of this project. Working alongside the City of Colorado Springs leadership, the CSCCC hosted presentations both on site and across the region and state to share the vision of the future of the City Auditorium. Activities with various potential partners and donors were ongoing.
While working toward final stages of Design/Development of the Colorado Springs City Auditorium, the CSCCC was awarded an Innovation Grant from the Pikes Peak Workforce Center to support the launch of the Creative Workforce Programs that are an integral part of the overarching Business Plan. The real life/ real time, earn and learn programs were set into motion in spaces and sites offsite both at the City Auditorium and offsite. Mentors and student cohort were recruited from across the region. Creative sector programs were launched to address a deficit in industry sectors hard hit by the pandemic. CSCCC placed these programs under the umbrella in name only as Opus Creative Industries and successfully launched its Culinary/Hospitality Benchmark program, Media Arts and Creative Technologies, and Early Childhood Enrichment. CSCCC continues to both present and produce programming both on site at the City Auditorium and offsite at outreach sites. The Opus programs were able to begin effectively supporting some of these ongoing activities. The Opus programs were able to continue to grow and evolve as most had already begun outside of the physical plant of the Auditorium
The 3 programs described on its FY2022 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $3,793,314.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $2.9M to $80k (−97%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $260k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
