WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING TO COMPLETE THE VALIDATION AND DOCUMENTATION PHASE OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY SUPPORT MODEL. ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE INCLUDE: DEVELOPMENT OF A LOGIC MODEL OUTLINING THE COLORADO FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER APPROACH AND THEORY OF CHANGE; A LITERATURE REVIEW ON BEST-PRACTICES IN FAMILY SUPPORT; A REVISED AND (RELIABLE) STRENGTHENED FAMILY SUPPORT ASSESSMENT, SUBJECTED TO A TEST OF INTER-RATER RELIABILITY WITH RESULTS DISSEMINATED IN A PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL; A COMMON INTAKE FORM TO HELP SCREEN FOR FAMILY DEVELOPMENT NEED AND INTEREST, INCLUDING READINESS FOR CHANGE IN SPECIFIC DOMAIN AREAS; AND A LEVELS-OF-SERVICE DOCUMENT (FAMILY PATHWAYS). FRCA HAS FOCUSED ON TRAINING THE MEMBER CENTERS' STAFF UTILIZING A REGIONAL TRAINING TEAM STRUCTURE AND CREATED TWO FIDELITY IMPLEMENTATION MATRICES, ONE FOR FRCA AS THE INTERMEDIARY ORGANIZATION AND ONE FOR MEMBER'S PRACTICE DURING THE PAST YEAR. FRCA ALSO INCREASED ITS OWN CAPACITY BY ADDING STAFF DEDICATED TO PROVIDING TRAINING AND FIDELITY SUPPORT TO MEMBERS. IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE RELIABILITY OF THE ASSESSMENT TOOL AND THE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WORK, THE DEDICATED STAFF WORKS TO ENSURE ALL MEMBER CENTERS ARE WELL EQUIPPED AND STREAMLINED IN MEETING THE STANDARDS THAT DEFINE A FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER. EVALUATION IS AT THE CORE OF FRCA'S WORK WITH OUR MEMBER CENTERS AND THEIR CONSTITUENT FAMILIES, AND IS USED TO IMPROVE OUR COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY PATHWAYS MODEL. WE ARE COMMITTED TO USING THE INFORMATION WE GATHER TO INCREASE THEEFFICACY AND IMPACT OF OUR MEMBER CENTERS AND THE FAMILIES THEY SERVE. OUR 2017-2018 EVALUATION REPORT CONFIRMS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE STRATEGIES, TOOLS AND PROCESSES COMPLETED TO DATE. THIS REPORT, WHICH INCLUDES A MULTIPLE DOMAIN ANALYSIS, SHOWS "STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT" GAINS IN INCOME, CASH SAVINGS, DEBT MANAGEMENT, HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, FOOD SECURITY, CHILD CARE,CHILDREN'S EDUCATION, PHYSICAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH AND TRANSPORTATION DOMAINS. GROWTH MODELS, A TYPE OF ADVANCED ANALYSIS, REVEALED FAMILIES WHO SCREENED POSITIVE IN ONE OR MORE AREAS OF NEED ON THE REQUIRED SCREENING TOOL WERE LOWER IN ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY AT BASELINE BUT DEMONSTRATED GREATER GROWTH IN ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY OVER THE YEAR THAN FAMILIES WHO DID NOT SCREEN WITH AN UNMET NEED. THIS CONCLUSION SUGGESTS THAT FAMILIES EXPERIENCING UNMET NEEDS AT A CENTER ENTRY MAY BE ESPECIALLY BENEFITTING FROM FAMILY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. ADDITIONALLY, "FAMILIES INCREASED FACTORS THAT PROTECT AGAINST CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT. AFTER RECEIVING SERVICES, PARENTS DEMONSTRATED MORE POSITIVE PARENTING BEHAVIORS, INCREASES ACCESS TO MATERIAL SUPPORTS IN TIMES OF CRISIS OR NEED, STRENGTHENED FAMILY PROBLEM SOLVING AND RESILIENCY, AND INCREASED INFORMAL, EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS." THESE EVALUATION RESULTS CONFIRM FRCA'S RESOLVE AROUND INCREASING THE VALIDITY OF OUR MODEL. WE UTILIZE AN ORGANIZATIONAL SURVEY FOR ALL MEMBERS TO IDENTIFY KEY AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT. AT THE CENTER LEVEL, EVALUATION OF OUTCOMES AND PROGRESS IS MEASURED BY PARTICIPANT ACTIVITY AND FEEDBACK OBTAINED BY PARTICIPANT SURVEYS AND INTERVIEWS. FRCA HAS BEEN WORKING FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS TO CONNECT OUR NETWORK OF MEMBER CENTERS TO THE TOOLS, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES NEEDED TO CREATE AND SUSTAIN STRONG ORGANIZATIONS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE A POWERFUL SAFETY NET OF COMMUNITY-BASED FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO UNDERSERVED, LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN COLORADO. CURRENTLY, FRCA MEMBERSHIP CONSIST OF 30 FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS SERVING MORE THAN 61,000 INDIVIDUALS IN 46 COUNTIES IN COLORADO. THESE ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE CRITICAL SERVICES FOR COLORADO'S VULNERABLE FAMILIES THROUGH A PHILOSOPHY OF STRENGTHS-BASED FAMILY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS UTILIZE A TWO-GENERATION APPROACH, WORKING WITH THE ENTIRE FAMILY TO BECOME MORE SELF RELIANT IN KEY AREAS THAT AFFECT FAMILY STABILITY, INCLUDING PARENTING, EARLY CHILDHOOD, HEALTH, SOCIAL, EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES. THROUGH THE CREATION OF COMMON PRACTICES, TRAINING AND SHARED GOALS, FRCA IS CONNECTING OUR MEMBERS WITH THE TRAINING, ADVOCACY, CAPACITY BUILDING, AND RESOURCES TO BECOME LEADERS IN THE FAMILY SUPPORT FIELD IN COLORADO AND THE NATION. ONE LESSON LEARNED IN THE PAST 20 YEARS IS THAT WHEN FAMILIES ARE PROVIDED WITH A PRIMARY POINT OF ENTRY FOR MULTIPLE SERVICES AND RESOURCES, THEIR CHANCE OF SUCCESS IN REACHING THEIR GOALS FOR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, HEALTH AND FINANCIAL STABILITY IS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED. TRUE CHANGE CAN OCCUR FOR FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITIES, MAKING COLORADO A STRONGER AND BETTER PLACE TO LIVE AND RAISE FAMILIES. FRCA RECENTLY INSTITUTED A NEW MEMBERSHIP AND DUES STRUCTURE TO BETTER SERVE OUR MEMBERSHIP. THE NEW STRUCTURE CREATED A MORE SUSTAINABLE FRAMEWORK FOR FRCA AND A MORE STREAMLINED METHOD TO FORECAST DUES COSTS. RELIABLE DUES FORECAST COST FOR MEMBERS. IN ADDITION, FRCA IS INCREASINGLY BEING SEEN AS THE STANDARD-BEARER FOR THE FAMILY SUPPORT FIELD IN COLORADO AND THE NEW STRUCTURE CREATED A CONSISTENT AND EQUITABLE WAY TO MONITOR AND MEASURE FAMILY SUPPORT AT THE MEMBER LEVEL ALONG WITH OUR MEMBER'S ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT THE STATE STATUTE CONCERNING FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS AND THEIR ABILITY TO HELP IMPROVE FAMILY OUTCOMES IN SELF-RELIANCE. 4736619 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 14 true false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true false false CO X X THE ORGANIZATION 3033881001 1888 SHERMAN STREET SUITE 100 DENVER CO 80203 GWEN SWENSON-HALE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE KNUTSON PAST PRESIDE 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TIM DRONKERS TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDA BATEMAN SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN KENNEDY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JUDY VORNDRAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TAMARA DRANGSTVEIT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 IDA RHODES DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LATOYA PETTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZANNE CRAWFORD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN ORR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HELEN SEDLAR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK KLING EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X 106120 0 16573 106120 16573 1 false false false 75000 857461 932461 MEMBERSHIP DUES 624100 203835 203835 SERVICE CONTRACTS 624100 57163 57163 260998 540 540 1193999 260998 540 3820121 3820121 106686 38157 37476 31053 462374 370704 64428 27242 13262 9622 1358 2282 67094 48966 12642 5486 46078 33031 8590 4457 21833 21833 12000 12000 48713 31604 16676 433 17354 15310 2044 59846 14347 29594 15905 70360 52770 13368 4222 2245 2245 2869 2152 545 172 DIRECT PROGRAM COSTS 291583 288226 3071 286 SPECIAL EVENTS 14651 1000 65 13586 STAFF RELATED EXPENSES 14337 8969 3924 1444 OTHER EXPENSES 7336 1556 4975 805 3316 84 1577 1655 5082058 4736619 234367 111072 35068 35068 1289115 797051 6739299 3353715 356 510 6547 12778 22907 18783 5312 4124 8075697 4203246 18552 34160 18552 34160 X 7623823 3981016 433322 188070 8057145 4169086 8075697 4203246 -3888059 X false true X true false X 7984385 2649564 3989501 11196000 932461 26751911 7984385 2649564 3989501 11196000 932461 26751911 576719 26175192 1518 763 361 778 540 3960 8198 8198 26764069 885149 0.97800 0.98070 X 7984385 2649564 3989501 11196000 932461 26751911 171503 185991 129012 137645 260998 885149 8155888 2835555 4118513 11333645 1193459 27637060 27637060 1518 763 361 778 540 3960 1518 763 361 778 540 3960 8198 8198 8165604 2836318 4118874 11334423 1193999 27649218 0.99960 0.99950 0.00000 0.00000 X PART III, LINE 12 MISCELLANEOUS 8,198 12000 12000 5070051 5082051 404103 101026 315249 357335 347326 404103 1424013 2136020 12000 12000 12000 12000 48000 78812 89334 86832 101026 356004 534006 22907 18783 4124 4124 X 1200738 6739 6739 1193999 1193999 5088797 6739 6739 5082058 5082058 SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X THE ASSOCIATION FOLLOWS ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH REQUIRES THE ASSOCIATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER A TAX POSITION (AND RELATED TAX BENEFIT) IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY, BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION.
