What ENGLEWOOD DEPOT INC aka Letterpress Depot does
Mission
The continuing mission of the Letterpress Depot is for education of the public about traditional arts of letterpress printing, typography, design, and all forms of book arts. To serve as a community resource with workshops, hands-on experience, exhibits, publications and demonstrations. As a living museum of related arts, we offer research and library resources on printing, typography, design, poetry and art, including historic and technical reference materials and equipment. We serve our members, school groups and individuals of the general public with education, literary and related activities to serve the public good. As rehabilitation of our historic depot building continues, we engage the public at other possible venues. We continue individual projects, information services, construction and planning, as well as maintenance and repair of equipment and organization of our museum collection.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Preservation and rehabilitation of our historic Englewood Depot building as home for our museum continued in 2024. The exterior aspect of the Depot is protected by an historic preservation easement held by the Colorado Historical Foundation, while interior historic rehabilitation is supported by the State Historical Fund and other funding. Interior work in 2024 continued with roughing in of plumbing and electrical systems and preservation of historic features of the Depot. The electrical service connection was accomplished with underground wiring from a newly installed pole on the property and addition of an exterior shut-off. A full service electrical panel was installed in the lower level and roughed-in conduit and wiring was done. A full HVAC heat-transfer system was installed with exterior compressors, providing interior HVAC service for the separate rooms and both levels of the building. Our mission to serve the community joins the rehabilitation and repurposing of the historic Depot with our creation of a living museum with our collection of letterpress materials and resources for the community. The rehabilitation expenses are an initial focus to establish and preserve our…

A STEM printing event included hands-on engagement with students at Cherrelyn Elementary, and twice at Cherry Creek High School at their Fine Arts Fridays. At The Finest High School of Choice in Englewood students used our wood type and press to produce a series of Wanted Posters. Other Englewood hands-on printing took us to Belleview Park, to the Spring Market, the Englewood Block Party, and the Englewood Holiday Fair. We brought our presses out for the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show and for the annual Rocky Mountain Book & Paper Fair. Individual workshops and printing projects were done at nearby printshops, including a session with the Postcard Club of Denver, and a group workshop at the Book Arts League in Boulder. Seasonal cards, wedding invitations, poetry, broadsides, and other small press projects have been hand-set and printed by traditional methods.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% 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 ENGLEWOOD DEPOT INC aka Letterpress Depot.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 52% · 2023 99% — 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.
Where its funders are
83% of ENGLEWOOD DEPOT INC aka Letterpress Depot's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $20k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Colorado funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $96k 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. 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.
