What Green & Gold Guard does
Mission
GGG will help educate the general public in Colorado and the communities in which the student-athletes live about charitable organizations and causes, and educate the public on how they can get involved with these organizations. Increasing involvement with these organizations will make a positive impact. To carry out this mission, GGG will cultivate relationships with charitable organizations throughout Colorado and in the communities in which the student-athletes live. In connection with this process, GGG will select and provide grants and other contributions to other nonprofits that are consistent with and furthering GGG's own mission. GGG will then seek to educate student-athletes on charitable giving and service, to empower them to make positive impacts on communities and charities they are passionate about, and help them use their influence to assist these organizations.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Educating the General Public - GGG Inc engaged in several activities to help educate the general public in Colorado and the communities about charitable organizations and causes, and educate the public on how they can get involved with these organizations. These activities were primarily performed by student-athletes using their social media and influence to promote charities including United Way, Boys and Girls Club Larimer County, Respite Care, Center for Family Outreach, Arc Thrift Stores, and CSU Foundation. Student-athletes used their social media accounts to post more than 500 impactful posts to promote local non-profit entities. These activities have helped the organization increase awareness, volunteer participation, and fundraising efforts. In addition, the Green and Gold Guard Corporation secured ad space and ran 1,9252,681 media ad spots to significantly increase fundraising, volunteerism, donor outreach, and awareness of local non-profits. The ad spots ran on behalf of United Way, Respite Care, Mathews House, Family Outreach, and Larimer County Boys and Girls Club.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $274k to $501k (+83%).
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.
100% of GREEN & GOLD GUARD’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 GREEN & GOLD GUARD’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
GREEN & GOLD GUARD leans on a few funders — its largest provides 85% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 GREEN & GOLD GUARD.
“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
100% of GREEN & GOLD GUARD'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $200k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
