Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Bringing together business, government and community organizations to build a more prosperous, equitable and sustainable Colorado based on our shared values.

  • The Level Up Academy is a transformative two-day Educational and Networking conference designed for entrepreneurs committed to driving social and environmental impact through their businesses. Level Up Academy was designed with accessibility in mind from inception. The event is hosted both in person and virtually allowing expansive access across Colorado and in multiple languages (we offered live translation in Spanish and partnered with a company to offer 13 additional languages). As a result, 220 attendees, over two days, were able to learn how to to elevate their business practices towards sustainability, social equity, and climate consciousness. The event also provides an invaluable opportunity for speakers from our ecosystem to take stage as a thought leader (often for the first time) in their respective spaces. 92% of survey respondents rated the conference as Excellent or Very Good. Provided a nourishing alternative during challenging life circumstances; attendees expressed feeling uplifted.

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.
