Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We partner with youth and their families as they successfully navigate school, college, and career by providing a holistic academic, social, and emotional program from elementary school through college, along with post-secondary scholarship assistance.

  • I Have a Dream Foundation Colorado (the "Foundation") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on February 29, 1988. In August of 2023, the Foundation changed its name to Colorado Dream Foundation. Since our founding in 1988, we have been uniquely positioned to deliver results because of the long-lasting, deep relationships we build with families, starting in elementary school and continuing through college and into a career. Our program takes place in out-of-school time settings, allowing us to utilize afternoons, evenings, and the summer to work with our youth. Our commitment to supporting youth through their post-secondary journey means we must build a long-lasting connection and understanding of them and adapt to meet their needs every step of the way. Additionally, our history of success with utilizing data and evaluation to monitor youth's academic and social-emotional growth closely positions us well to continue delivering solid results.In FY23, we had the opportunity to deliver our program at two regional sites, one in the Westwood neighborhood in Southwest Denver and one in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood in Far Northeast Denver. Over the course of the year, we used several metrics to ensure we are successfully preparing our youth for high school graduation and secondary success. The following results demonstrate our progress in FY23:Overall participation numbers: 318 unique 3rd through 9th-grade youth served between July 2022 and June 2023Maintaining regular attendance rates: 89% average daily attendance for regular attendeesAfter-School Programming: Supported youth from 32 different schoolsFamily and youth program satisfaction rates: 100% of families and youth were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of programming One on One Therapy Sessions: 105 Clients Served across two sites, with 87% of clients meeting one or more therapy goals Family Support through Systems Advocacy: 150 partner organizations were identified to assist families. Over 200 touchpoints with families throughout the yearNumber of post-secondary participants: 22 participantsNumber of post-secondary participants receiving scholarship support: 7The Foundation is supported primarily by private and public sector grants and donations and is committed to maintaining financial stability. The Foundations diverse leadership team and Board of Directors provide operational oversight to ensure its continuing financial health.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
