What Restoration Outreach Programs does
Mission
Restoration Outreach Programs provides services to homeless, disadvantaged and at-risk individuals and youth, including a food bank, GED training, ESL teaching, after-school tutoring and group youth mentoring programs. ROP provides direct services to address hunger, homelessness, lack of education, underemployment, language barriers, addictions, and hopelessness.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Youth Ministries is made up outreach to Children (Selah) and Teens (Kairos). SELAH is ROP's children's program that exists with the goal of providing quality, Jesus- centered programing for inner city and refugee children on and around East Colfax. The Teen Ministry at ROP exists to provide a space of belonging, safety, and community for the teens of East Colfax.

Every Tuesday, the Food Bank provides groceries and other resources to many families and individuals in need, as well as provides food to individuals and families in crisis on an as-needed basis throughout the week. ROP's Food Bank serves individuals from 3 counties {Adams, Arapahoe and Denver}.
$92,767 spent$23,437 earned by the program27% of program spendingThe Work Readiness/GED Ministry strives to enhance employability of those within the community we serve. We provide tutoring to prepare students for the high school equivalency test (GED or HiSet), assist participants in creating effective resumes, train in effective interview techniques, and help participants develop soft skills that employers seek in potential candidates. Work Readiness helps individuals with job retention, mentoring, and assigning accountability partners, and provides life coaching and life skills. Our ESL Program offers free English classes in Aurora to the refugee and immigrant population, in the surrounding neighborhoods of ROP, to help them overcome the language barriers they face living in the United States. Interested participants are assessed on their current English skills and then placed into one of our four class levels (Basic, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3). Each class meets twice a week for two hours and students work on English proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Along with meeting needs, the Hospitality Center serves as an entry point to social services that empower, encourage, and equip struggling individuals.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2024 to 2025, from $826k to $3.2M (+290%).
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: 2020 11% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $101k → $111k.
9 of 23 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 52% 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 RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS’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
RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% 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 RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 68% · 2018 65% · 2019 70% · 2020 44% · 2021 36% · 2022 33% · 2023 27% — 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
54% of RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 57% 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
52% of RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS'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 $427k that is directly attributable, 89% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $466k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
Against its field
RESTORATION OUTREACH PROGRAMS runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 1,661 crime & legal nonprofits its size.
