What The Conflict Center does
Mission
The Conflict Center equips people with practical skills to navigate, transform and embrace everyday conflict.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Through youth and adult skill building classes and conflict management workshops, individuals are empowered to see and use conflict as an opportunity to grow, learn, and create positive change in their lives. Our skill building classes, addressing conflict and anger effectively (adults) and rethinking conflict (youth), provide an opportunity to become equipped with new skills to communicate effectively to solve problems and build relationships. Our mix of understanding anger and other emotions along with conflict management skills helps participants work through defensiveness and build a shared understanding with others, ultimately finding mutually satisfactory solutions to sources of conflict. All our classes are offered in person and virtually, to provide additional accessibility for participants. We offer a variety of professional development workshops related to topics such conflict management, communication and team building, training over 900 participants at organizations across denver, as well as nationally. Our building healthy relationship campaigns focus on the six types of abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, stalking, financial/economic, and digital. We worked with…
$282,024 spent$49,084 earned by the program33% of program spendingThrough school partnerships, the organization partners with educators and schools to foster a community of inclusion, where students feel safe to be themselves and nurtured to build positive relationships. Restorative practices offer an alternative to punitive discipline in schools. Restorative practices is a philosophy, not a curriculum, that focuses on building positive relationships and providing opportunities for community members to take responsibility for their behavior while remaining connected to the community. Restorative practices are rooted in social justice, directly disrupting the school-to-prison-pipeline. Through restorative practices we utilize tools to hold students accountable for their actions while keeping them in school and out of the school-to- prison-pipeline. By implementing practices that reduce the disproportionality high disciplinary referrals, suspensions and expulsions of children of color, restorative practices reduce the odds that students will subsequently become involved in the juvenile justice system. Tcc worked with schools across school districts in the metro area this fiscal year as well as organizations. Reading for peace is a completely…

In this fiscal year, 120 cases were referred to restorative denver, providing an "off ramp" from the criminal legal system. In addition, a thematic program, restoring responsible gun use, provides an equitable referral process for defendants with the same charges. We handle up to six cases per month through this program.

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 2019 to 2020, from $1.5M to $1.7M (+11%).
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 25% · 2019 19% · 2020 20% · 2021 24% · 2022 20% · 2023 30% · 2024 22% · 2025 32%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
73% of THE CONFLICT CENTER’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $98k → $310k.
6 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% 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 THE CONFLICT CENTER’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
THE CONFLICT CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
61% 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 THE CONFLICT CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 54% · 2018 58% · 2019 38% · 2020 43% · 2021 28% · 2022 39% · 2023 24% — 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
64% of THE CONFLICT CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% 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
53% of THE CONFLICT CENTER'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 $754k that is directly attributable, 73% of it comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $842k 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.

THE CONFLICT CENTER's revenue grew 60% between 2017 and 2025.
