What The Place does
Mission
The Place helps youth experiencing homelessness and youth at risk of becoming homeless overcome real life challenges by providing essential services and a supportive community, empowering them to become self-sufficient adults.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Overnight shelter and day services: homeless youth are invited to stay at the shelter as long as they are actively receiving services and are making progress on their case plan toward achieving self-sufficiency. When youth first enter the shelter, they participate in an intake assessment to help determine individual needs and identify personal barriers to exiting living on the streets. With the assistance of a case manager, each youth develops a case plan to achieve stability and self-sufficiency by building on existing strengths and accessing community resources.
$705,499 spentof which $48,198 as grants33% of program spendingHousing services: The Place provides support to youth placed in scattered site housing units. Individual treatment, support groups, and case management are combined in our housing program to provide a stable and safe platform for a life off the streets. Every youth in our housing program works with a dedicated case manager to create a case plan that may include education and/or employment programs, recreational activities, youth development opportunities, and access to comprehensive health care.
$831,024 spentof which $332,515 as grants39% of program spendingOutreach: The Place's street outreach team members are on the streets seeking out runaway and homeless young people wherever they may be congregating. The staff engage youth in conversation and distribute hygiene supplies, clothing, food and items that offer protection on the street. Healthcare agencies, in collaboration with other community partners, allow the outreach team to provide hiv and hepatitis-c testing resources. Outreach team members are trained through the principals of trauma-informed care and are adept at establishing trust among the homeless youth population as they provide referrals for shelter, housing opportunities, education and employments programs, mental health and/or drug counseling, supplemental nutrition and health care.

The new multi-family building will have 50 one- and two-bedroom units available as long-term rentals for tenants who are less than 24 years of age upon admission and meet the requirements to qualify through the state of colorado's housing voucher program. Every tenant will also have access to case management support, mental health referrals, education and employment resources and community-based social activities. The launchpad officially opened as of may 2025.

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 2024 to 2025, from $1.7M to $4.8M (+189%).
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: 2017 38% · 2018 48% · 2019 50% · 2021 45% · 2022 52% · 2023 46% · 2024 68% · 2025 78%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of THE PLACE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 11 funders to 43 funders, grant income rose $159k → $901k.
11 of 73 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 20% 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 PLACE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 73 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
THE PLACE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 11% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
60% 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 PLACE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 32% · 2018 32% · 2019 23% · 2020 28% · 2021 14% · 2022 19% · 2023 21% — 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
66% of THE PLACE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% 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
75% of THE PLACE's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $903k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.

These figures are read directly from IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file XML: this organization’s own return for FY2025 (financials across 2017–2025), and the filings of 73 funders that report grants to it. “On record” means captured in the filings we have parsed — a funder that does not e-file, or whose grant detail is not itemized, will not appear. Filings run roughly 12–24 months behind. Trends on this page end at FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving; later years are shown and marked, and move no figure.
