What Rocky Mountain Dance Education Foundation does
Mission
We provide grants and scholarships for dancers in the state of Colorado, the "Rocky Mountain Region". These are funded through a variety of fundraising, community donations, and member dues. Organization voted for a name change from Revolution Dance Ensemble Foundation to Rocky Mountain Dance Education Foundation to better reflect this charitable purpose in February 2024. Amendment was filed with and approved by the Colorado Secretary of State and we are officially changing the name with the IRS in this filing.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Grants and scholarships for a variety of dance-education related purposes were paid out in fiscal year 2024. These scholarships and grants totaled $76,071.00 and served a variety of purposes from performance scholarships, dance education grants, choreography grants and scholarships, dance educator DE&I training, purchase of dance equipment for public school dancers, and more. We issued an additional amount of $11,559.00 of grants that were not cashed prior to the close of the fiscal year and will be counted in our next filing due to our method of accounting. Of the remaining funds for the organization for the next fiscal year over $39,000 is already allocated to a variety of community grants and scholarships for the first fiscal quarter; some have been paid as of this filing and other planned scholarships will be realized in the 2026 fiscal year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $27k to $59k (+117%).
How it's funded, over time

From the IRS filings of ROCKY MOUNTAIN DANCE EDUCATION FOUNDATION’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.
Where its funders are
100% of ROCKY MOUNTAIN DANCE EDUCATION FOUNDATION'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. $498 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.
