What Delta Gamma Anchor Center for Blind Children does
Mission
Part I and part iii, line 1: anchor center for blind children is a nationally recognized leader in teaching children with vision, cortical visual, dual sensory (vision and hearing), and co-occurring disabilities during their most formative years of development - birth to age five. Located in denver since 1982, we are the only pediatric blindness organization in colorado - and one of just a handful in the u.s. - that offers the full range of center-based, home visitation, and virtual/hybrid services specializing in: (1) early intervention, special education, and therapy (physical, occupational, speech-language, horticultural, and music therapies); (2) family coaching and support; (3) vision screening, care, and assessment; and (4) groundbreaking research.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Anchor center for blind children is colorado's only nonprofit center for young children, birth to age 5, where children who are blind or have significant visual impairments receive the highest level of expert care, intervention, training and early childhood education. Our multi- disciplinary specialized staff include teachers of the visually impaired, early childhood special education teachers, physical, occupational, speech/language, recreational and music therapists, orientation & mobility specialists, family service professionals and ophthalmologists. Working as a team, the anchor staff give newborns, infants, toddlers and preschoolers, as well as their parents, caregivers, and siblings, support, tools and education to build the foundation for life long development, recreation and education. Since our founding by the delta gamma fraternity in 1982, anchor center for blind children has prepared thousands of children for kindergarten and infused a desire for the child and his/her family to live life fully -- despite the challenges associated with their visual, or visual/auditory, impairments. Anchor center graduates grow up to become teachers, artists, professors, athletes,…

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $2,182,260.
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.
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 $11M to $14M (+21%).
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 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 1% · 2023 1% · 2024 1% · 2025 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 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.

DELTA GAMMA ANCHOR CENTER FOR BLIND CHILDREN has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% 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
71% 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 DELTA GAMMA ANCHOR CENTER FOR BLIND CHILDREN.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
