FISCAL YEAR 2024 WAS A BUSY ONE AT THE DELORES PROJECT. WE FINALIZED A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN THAT FOCUSES ON BEING A DESTINATION EMPLOYER, HAVING EXCEPTIONAL AND IMPACTFUL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, AND GROWING OUR CAPACITY TO DO, BE, AND SERVE MORE PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE. THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS ALLOWED FOR MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT NOT JUST WHAT WE DO, BUT HOW WE DO IT AND WHY THAT MAKES THE DELORES PROJECT SPECIAL AND UNIQUE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, PEOPLE NEW AND OLD TO OUR COMMUNITY SAY THE SAME THING; WE ARE A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS IS REMINDED OF THEIR WORTH, DIGNITY, AND BELONGING. THUS OUR NEW TAGLINE, BUILDING BELONGING, WAS BORN. TO FULLY BRING IT TO LIFE, WE PARTNERED WITH RENOWNED ARTIST RAE SENARIGHI TO CREATE OUR NEW BORN TO BELONG MERCHANDISE AND COMMISSION A BEAUTIFUL NEW PORTRAIT OF OUR NAMESAKE DELORES BIG BOY.WE ARE PROUD THAT IN FY 2024 WE INCREASED OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR TEAM BY COMPLETING AN ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURE THAT ENABLED US TO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT WAGE INCREASES FOR ALL OF OUR DIRECT SERVICE AND MANAGERIAL STAFF, MAKING US ONE OF THE HIGHEST-PAYING SHELTER PROVIDERS IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER. AS AN ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON BUILDING COMMUNITY AND HELPING PEOPLE HEAL AND PERMANENTLY RESOLVE THEIR HOMELESSNESS, WE KNOW THAT OUR MISSION IMPACT DEPENDS ON THE TALENT, SKILL, AND COMMITMENT OF THOSE WHO MEET THE NEEDS OF THOSE WE SERVE AROUND THE CLOCK. WE HAD ANOTHER CHALLENGING YEAR FINANCIALLY IN 2024. AS WE LOOK TOWARD OUR TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY IN 2025, WE ARE FOCUSED ON FINDING NEW AND SUSTAINABLE SOURCES OF FUNDING TO REPLACE MANY OF THE TIME-LIMITED COVID FUNDING THAT HELPED US TO GROW OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES IN RECENT YEARS. WE HAVE A NEWLY- EXPANDED FUNDRAISING TEAM AND SEVERAL STRATEGIES IN PLACE TO HELP US RECOUP SOME OF THE FUNDS LOST IN RECENT YEARS AS LEGACY FUNDERS MOVED THEIR PRIORITIES AWAY FROM SHELTERS. AS ALWAYS, THE ONGOING GENEROSITY OF OUR SUPPORTERS AND THE COMMITMENT OF OUR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS REMAIN CRUCIAL IN KEEPING THIS BIG, DIVERSE, BELOVED COMMUNITY AFLOAT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO POSITIVELY IMPACT THE LIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED AS WE WORK TO ENSURE ALL THOSE WE SERVE HAVE THE COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT AND HOUSING STABILITY THEY NEED TO THRIVE. 2690827 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 52 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X DIANA ADAMS 3035345411 PO BOX 1406 DENVER CO 80201 LIAM CABAL PRESIDENT 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KIRSTY GREER TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN LWANGO SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DONNA GOLDIN EVANS DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIANA GOMEZ DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 NESTOR MEZA DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 NEVINE NAGJI DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 TYLER NEMKOV DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 BRENDA VASQUEZ DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY WHEELAND CEO 50.00 X 129637 0 10206 129637 0 10206 1 0 0 0 0 78946 1410313 1474884 225004 2964143 PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING 624200 86004 86004 86004 43854 43854 1059096 1059096 413 0 -413 -413 -413 11100 78946 21175 -10075 -10075 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 721000 2576 2576 2576 3086089 88580 0 33366 145577 65510 29115 50952 2005435 1675003 214287 116145 161589 134695 16823 10071 195824 158961 22545 14318 445 445 23200 23200 24365 24365 109473 87340 6936 15197 7098 7098 40403 32764 4555 3084 35800 29031 4036 2733 32936 32936 CONTRIBUTED NONFINANCIA 225998 225998 CONTRACT SERVICES 71667 60000 11667 HR AND EMPLOYEE EXPENSE 64938 64938 RENTAL AND DEPOSIT ASSI 63187 63187 224527 185402 31964 7161 3432462 2690827 485942 255693 202326 209252 298654 362795 582607 597819 12656 0 374731 72524 325960 302207 1375377 1044198 7430 7430 2805010 2523701 99154 97214 99154 97214 X 2565712 2296557 140144 129930 2705856 2426487 2805010 2523701 -346373 67004 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1950414 3020430 3258357 2736660 2964143 13930004 1950414 3020430 3258357 2736660 2964143 13930004 819648 13110356 11559 13665 93956 53727 43854 216761 3764 3764 14150529 963275 0.92650 0.92520 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 154000 154000 83444 17149 66295 75340 34726 40614 61947 20649 41298 302207 3159093 67004 6000 73004 3086089 0 3086089 3438462 6000 6000 3432462 0 3432462 BORN TO BELONG 90046 78946 11100 6271 11520 3384 90046 78946 11100 6271 11520 3384 21175 -10075 X MEALS AND MISC.
