What Extreme Community Makeover does
Mission
Mission: Extreme Community Makeover coordinates volunteer teams to partner with denver residents to improve their own homes and neighborhoods. These projects build safer environments; cultivate community among residents, neighborhoods, and networks of local resource providers; and connect residents to a permanent path towards healthy, hopeful, and stable lives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Through ecm work days, volunteer groups work in specific denver neighborhoods to complete exterior home and neighborhood improvement projects such as painting, yard work, graffiti removal, fence repair, trimming bushes, and a variety of other home improvement / repair projects. These projects build relationships with denver neighbors and bring people together, while building a stronger sense of community. In 2024, ecm work days mobilized 1,215 volunteers, while assisting 68 residents with projects at their homes and cleaning 118 alleys. These volunteers invested 5,885 volunteer hours into improving denver neighborhoods, with an economic impact of $227,985 in volunteer labor value, while also contributing $864 of in-kind contributions for food and project supplies.

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. 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 2021 to 2022, from $101k to $177k (+74%).
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 1% · 2019 1% · 2021 6% · 2022 20% · 2023 10% · 2024 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
60% of EXTREME COMMUNITY MAKEOVER’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income fell $74k → $28k.
4 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 78% 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 EXTREME COMMUNITY MAKEOVER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 11 of 12 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
EXTREME COMMUNITY MAKEOVER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% 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 EXTREME COMMUNITY MAKEOVER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 87% · 2018 100% · 2019 70% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 36% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
40% of EXTREME COMMUNITY MAKEOVER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 42% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
78% of EXTREME COMMUNITY MAKEOVER'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 $52k that is directly attributable, 68% of it comes from funders outside Colorado, across 7 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $187k 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.
