Data from metro denver homeless initiative's 2019 point in time survey reported over 5,700 individuals experiencing homelessness in the denver metro area. 43% of metro denver residents reported having family or friends who have experienced homelessness. Due to the prevalence of homelessness, Haven of Hope continues the charge to provide much needed basic emergency aid, as well as supportive services to a highly vulnerable population.Haven of Hope has learned that initially meeting tangible needs is an effective strategy for building trust and personal relationship which ultimately leads to clients participating in work training, finding gainful employment, and eventually permanent housing. While other organizations do serve denver's homeless population, few have the capacity to serve over 800 meals a day, while also comprehensively addressing basic needs and employment support. Haven of Hope is the only place where clients can take a private shower and one of the few places where laundry services are offered free of charge.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $221k → $263k.

12 of 63 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 50% 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 HAVEN OF HOPE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 63 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

HAVEN OF HOPE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 5 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 5 funders to its left

63% 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 HAVEN OF HOPE.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

How long its funders stay

30% of HAVEN OF HOPE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

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

50% of HAVEN OF HOPE'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 $1.0M that is directly attributable, 63% of it comes from Colorado funders.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
