What The Dale House Project does
Mission
The Dale House Project is a RCCF (residential child care facility) licensed by the State of Colorado for a maximum of 21 residents from 16 to 20 years of age to provide residential and educational services to at-risk youth and prepare them for independent living.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The dale house opened in 1972 as a special project with young life, a para-church outreach to youth. In 2000, The Dale House Project became a legally separate entity. Our goal is to prepare these at-risk youth for independent living by helping them acquire the necessary skills to become self-supporting, contributing members of society. 118 youth were served this year, with 90% of the youth served between ages 18-21.youth in our housing program receive support to learn how to manage their living situation independently as adults. Over 3,000 days of housing were provided to 22 youth, with an average stay of 4.5 months.youth in our employment program receive work readiness training in soft skills, time management, emotional regulation and skill building. (continued on schedule o)these lessons take place in work sites that include landscaping, gardening, light woodworking, art therapy, and more. 7,200 hours of work readiness training was provided in the last year.while our residents can be resourceful and have learned to survive, they are often troubled by drug and/or alcohol addictions, temptations to return to gangs, and the helplessness inflicted by victimization. But, they are…

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 2020 to 2021, from $1.3M to $4.3M (+229%).
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 19% · 2021 20% · 2022 2% · 2023 20% · 2024 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
35% of The Dale House Project’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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 1 funder to 5 funders, grant income rose $10k → $55k.
3 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% 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 Dale House Project’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 Dale House Project leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
35% 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 Dale House Project.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 86% · 2019 45% · 2020 83% · 2021 80% · 2022 99% · 2023 45% — 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
40% of The Dale House Project's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% 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
93% of The Dale House Project's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32k 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.
Against its field
The Dale House Project's funding base is broadening — from 1 funders to 5 as grant income climbed.
