What Village Thrift Shop Inc does
Mission
To accept and resell donated goods and to focus on recycling through sale or proper disposal of unwanted or unneeded items. Net profits from sales are used to support area non-profits.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Village Thrift Shop ceased operations of the thrift shop as of 2/28/26 and sold all shop assets and inventory to the new operator, Crossroads Ministry of Estes Park, another non-profit entity. Village Thrift Shop will continue funding area non-profits until all existing funds are permanently dispersed at which time the corporation will dissolve.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Donated goods worth $306,007 were sold in the Thrift Shop. Accumulated profits allowed the organization to award grants to 22 area non-profit organizations totaling $246,000 in the fiscal year 2025 (year-ending 3/31/26). In addition, many other donated unwanted items were disposed of through other non-profits (such as Goodwill and Salvation Army) and through recycling efforts, thus diverting these items from being landfilled.

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.
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 $257k to $116k (−55%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 10 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.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 VILLAGE THRIFT SHOP INC’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 VILLAGE THRIFT SHOP INC'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. $18k 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.
