Elevate3in1 Inc.
2019 Annual Report
Prepared by Evan Dalrymple – Co-Founder
Overview
In January 2017, Elevate3in1 was formed, bylaws were established, and board members selected. On August 10, 2017, E3in1 was given IRS approval as a 501c3 non-profit organization. Upon receiving approval, E3in1 immediately began to establish a donor base, (individual) and seek foundation support through applied grants.
Mission
E3in1 believes in turning thinking about the problem, into doing something about the problem. E3in1 desires to support a growing population of fatherless children in regaining viability and quality of life through providing educational and activity opportunities. Elevate3in1 also views the promotion of positive identity-formation as a priority in service to each recipient. E3in1’s purpose is to provide guidance and direction in fulfilling each child’s purpose, and the necessary support (financial, emotional, physical) to children and young adults age 5-20, who have been deprived of having the love, emotional and financial support, and encouragement of a father or father figure. E3in1 is looking for "world changers", young people who have grit, tenacity and the drive to reach beyond their circumstances and fulfill their dreams.
Elevate3in1 offers support for opportunities in: Academics, Athletics, STEM, Fine Arts, Equine Therapy and Vocational Training. Additionally, E3in1 offers an identity program, L.I.F.E, (Lighthouse Identity Formation Education) dedicated to helping recipients understand their purpose, unique identity, natural strengths and abilities, learn good decision making and necessary life skills, and ultimately realize their immense personal value and worth. Mentoring is a critical piece of E3in1recipient growth, and that piece was emphasized as part of the 2019 goals. Ultimately, the desire is ever present for graduates from E3in1, to pass forward to another young person, the wealth of knowledge, support and experience gleaned through participation in the program.
Progress Summary
In its third year as a 501C3 organization, Elevate3in1 made great strides strengthening partnerships with quality organizations providing a variety of services to recipient families living in the greater Denver Metro Area. E3in1 increased its working relationship with the Jeffco Prosperity Project – JPP, continuing as an active member of the JPP advisory board. Elevate3in1 continued its relationship with Guidestar (center for foundation access and giving) and the Excellence in Giving Network, a non-profit that offers donors an opportunity to directly contribute to quality foundations. Throughout the year, Elevate, also deepened its partnership with the Denver Dream Center - DDC, a large faith-based, outreach serving in multiple capacities throughout Denver, CO. E3in1 partnered with DDC during its “adopt a block” weekend outreaches staged through the Denver Housing Authority, and, of course, the “Hoops for Hope” Basketball outreach held at the Pepsi Center, in which E3in1 was privileged to sponsor all 91 campers, age 5 - 16!
E3in1’s greatest expansion occurred in June when Nathan Schrimp was brought aboard as the E3in1 director for the Mesilla Valley, (Las Cruces, NM to El Paso, TX). Nathan and his family moved to El Paso in July, and worked with local businesses, houses of faith and other individuals and entities toward the establishment of an Elevate3in1 presence in the area. Nathan also worked with the Arbor De Vida Children’s Home in Juarez, Mexico and will continue to do so, separately from E3in1 throughout 2020.
Unfortunately, a lack of funding severely hindered opportunities to gain a strong foothold in southern New Mexico and Texas. Thus, Elevate3in1 leadership decided to pause on the Texas expansion until further notice, promoting Colorado youth until such time expansion into any area outside Colorado is financially feasible. Mr. Schrimp will remain in El Paso, sponsored by individuals and a local Denver church, and will continue working directly with the children’s home in Juarez.
Of the nearly 100 recipients served in 2019, a vast majority of youth were under the age of 18. However, E3in1 will honor its first high school graduate in the spring of 2020, and that recipient is scheduled to receive scholarship funding so he may attend a community college near his home. Approximately 86 youth received E3in1 Educational/Activity support in some manner or level in 2019, with support moneys set aside in 2020 for approximately 35 new individual recipients by March of 2020.
Efforts were unsuccessful to procure substantial, ongoing funding for scholarship opportunities for recipients’ admission into area private schools or provide for college bound opportunities. Had those funds been established, as many as 10 recipients may have attended private, academy level schools during the 2019-20 school year, further advancing their education and activity opportunities. This element of E3in1 is extremely important to the overall mission, therefore, efforts to procure scholarship funding will be compounded, so that future recipient opportunities may be secured.
Courses or Activities offered recipients during 2019 include: STEM – Robotics - Coding, Animation-online, Gymnastics, Singing lessons, Guitar Lessons, Drum Lessons, Cello Lessons, Violin Lessons, Piano Lessons, Music Therapy, Tae Kwon Do, Mixed Martial Arts, Cooking, Baby Sitting, ROTC - Drill Team Competition, YMCA Summer Camp - Overall Activities, Physical Activity/Therapy, Soccer, Swimming, Football, Flag Football, Basketball at a variety of levels, and of course, Basketball Camps, (Hoops for Hope).
15 recipients received equipment and or uniforms for support or training/participation in High School Football, Martial Arts, Tae Kwon Do, Gymnastics, Flag Football, Soccer, and for the first time, National ROTC Competition. Upon the completion of each course or activity, the recipient, parent/guardian, and organization were evaluated, helping E3in1 personnel determine success, thus enabling continued support the that recipient in that area of interest. Greater consistency in this area was present during 2019, but data collection, both quantitative and qualitative, has yet to be acquired via a data management system (information that can and should be archived, and used for developmental purposes). The same is true for the “Two-week progress reports” to be kept up to twelve weeks where progress is evaluated. It too will need to be developed and utilized for greater access and accuracy in the future.
The E3in1 Identity-Formation Program to be implemented by February of 2019 was tabled due to a lack funding. The determination was made, that in order to implement the program effectively, it required increased clarification, and an Emotional Quotient or “EQ” element inserted, (EQ level is representative of the individual emotional maturity exhibited among numerous categories and areas of emotional development). Christa Dalrymple - E3in1 – Co-Founder, and Director, completed EQ training and certification in August of 2019, and will complete the additions slated for insertion into the Identity-Formation program prior to implementation in March 2020. E3in1 Co-Founders felt responsible to withhold implementation until this critical element could be introduced in tandem with the other primary components.
Though no recipient completed the program in 2019, recipients will have a stronger, more valuable course for completion in 2020, one that truly defines each major area of emotional and self-awareness/concept/worth. As of February 2020, Elevate3in1 is working with Directors from the Denver Dream Center to pilot the completed program with 91 at risk youth, presently attending Denver Public Schools. E3in1 will work with DDC partners to train mentors, instructors and data gatherers to create the best template for expansion of the Identity-Formation program into larger school venues. The pilot will also determine participation of current E3in1 recipients qualifying for the program. Potentially, 2020 may see hundreds of youth complete the L.I.F.E. program. Funding, establishing partnerships, and most importantly, data derived from the pilot program in 2020, will determine the reach of its expansion in the future.
2020 Goals and Forecast
Recipients Vetted and Served - By midyear 2020, E3in1 hopes to double its number of recipients through new opportunities presented in cooperation with the Jeffco Prosperity Project, and primarily through an expansion of our partnership with the Denver Dream Center. Ultimately, Elevate3in1 desires to serve no less than 250 deserving youth in some capacity in 2020. As of January, E3in1 has served 116 “World Changers”. Of course, numbers of recipients are entirely dependent upon increased financial support, and with the addition of the proposed scholarship support, E3in1 could definitely meet its goal.
Areas of Colorado Served – 2020 - forecasted expansion in areas already served, primarily Jefferson County and the City of Denver, with a desire to move into outlying suburbs. Next level service is slated for communities lying along the I-25 and I-70 corridors.
Identity Program – Throughout 2020, E3in1 will implement its newly completed identity formation program, L.I.F.E., (Lighthouse Identity Formation Education). The pilot program will be administered to students attending Denver Public Schools’ at-risk program. Mentors will be trained by Christa Dalrymple, Co-Director of E3in1, and creator of the program. Those mentors will work in tandem with leaders from the Denver Dream Center, implementing the program individually and in group settings, initiating relationship with recipients and families, while maintain connectivity with the individual recipients served presently through E3in1. The identity program and mentoring component will soon become paramount in importance to the future of Elevate3in1. It is somewhat of an “Exclamation Point” at the end of each recipient’s E3in1 experience. Leadership truly believes it is the key to each young person’s future successes, and the passing forward of its benefits to future recipients.
Financial Support – The greatest need for Elevate3in1 is increased financial support. A working/running budget of $1,000,000.00, is necessary for E3in1 to expand its offerings throughout the Denver Metro Area and outlying areas of Colorado. E3in1 will continue applying for qualifying grants, pursue individual and corporate donors toward that end.
Fully financed at the projected amount or greater, E3in1 could potentially serve 800-1,000 Colorado youth and families in some capacity, within the next two years.
At the outset of 2019, Elevate3in1 maintained as its financial goal and obligation to donors, that 75% of donations would be either distributed or reserved for recipients. As of December 31, 2019, due to increased expenses and appropriate pay allocated for work done for Elevate3in1 both in Denver and El Paso, E3in1 distributed 69% of donations available to recipients. It should be noted that E3in1 expanded in every area of operation as noted by category amounts. Example: E3in1 personnel represented the foundation at the annual SHIFT - Organization against human trafficking - materials and a banner had to be acquired as part of the program participation. Also, E3in1 acquired both accounting/contribution tracking software, and payroll/accounting software.
The future is very bright for Elevate3in1 and its recipients, but the need is great as legitimized costs in support of E3in1 recipients has increased from $887 on average in 2018, to just over $1,200 in 2019. This increase is attributed to many recipients’ increase in age, and the higher costs adjoined to participating in upper level or advanced courses and activities for higher age groups. It is the desire that each E3in1 recipient thrive in the areas of interest, thus, expansion is completely dependent upon additional support. In that vein, the Leadership of Elevate3in1 wants to thank all volunteers, vendors, instructors, mentors and of course contributors to this amazing cause! You are promoting future “World Changers”!!!!

Progress Summary
In its second year as a 501c3 organization, Elevate3in1 made great strides strengthening partnerships with quality organizations providing a variety of services to recipient families living in the greater Denver Metro Area. E3in1 increased its working relationship with the Jeffco Prosperity Project – JPP.
In September, Elevate3in1 Co-Founders were asked to become part of the JPP advisory board, and were recognized at its Thanksgiving Outreach as a premier partner. E3in1 also elevated its relationship with Guidestar (Center for foundation access and giving) to Gold Star status. In June of 2018, Elevate3in1 became part of the Excellence in Giving Network, a non-profit that offers donors an opportunity to directly contribute to quality foundations.
Additionally, in December, E3in1 deepened its partnership with the Denver Dream Center, a large youth outreach serving Denver, CO, aligning vetting, and program development, to begin in 2019. E3in1 supported 20 basketball camp participants during the annual DDC basketball camp held at the Pepsi Center, December 29. Beginning December 18, E3in1 became partner of WaterStone50, a highly quality donor consortium located in Colorado Springs, for those who desire to contribute directly to E3in1 through a variety of means. Lastly, Elevate3in1 established an Ameritrade account for individual donors/corporations to directly contribute to the vision that is E3in1.
Of the 50 recipients served in 2018, (a majority of youth are under the age of 14) received ongoing E3in1 Educational/Activity support, with support moneys set aside for 2019 for approximately 35 new recipients in January, and additional youth to be supported as funding increases..
Courses or Activities offered recipients include: STEM – Robotics - Coding, Animation-online, Gymnastics, Singing lessons, Guitar Lessons, Meteorology courses for youth - online – Level Specific, Physical Activity/Therapy, Music Therapy, Soccer at a variety of levels, and Basketball Camps. Two recipients received either equipment support and or training/participation support for high school football, and one recipient - uniform and equipment for participation on a high school dance team.
The E3in1 Identity Program was completed in November, but is to be administered in February of 2019. Though no recipient completed the program in 2018, those completing the program will be surveyed at the end of the program to determine the level of success, (age appropriate) and if the program needs to be repeated. All recipients must complete the program over time in order to continue receiving financial support. Surveys are archived to chart progress and application of skills taught in the course.
2019 Goals and Forecast
Recipients Vetted and Served - By the end of February 2019, E3in1 will double the number of youth supported due to the increased partnership opportunities and the completion of additional vetting through our ongoing partnerships. Additionally, the goal of E3in1 is to serve no less than 250 deserving youth in 2019. Upon the completion of each course or activity, the recipient, parent/guardian, and organization is to complete a survey of progress, helping E3in1 personnel determine success, thus continuing support the that recipient in that area of interest. Data will then be archived and continued support initiated. Of course, numbers of recipients is entirely dependent upon increased financial support.
Areas of Colorado Served – 2019 will see an expansion of areas served, primarily throughout the Denver Metro Area, but hope to expand services along the I-70 corridor, (Summit County and the Parachute Corridor) and I-25 corridor, (beginning in Colorado Springs)
Identity Program – Throughout 2019, E3in1 will implement its completed identity program. Additional qualified coaches/mentors will administer the program individually, initiate and engage in relationship with the recipient and family, and maintain connectivity with the recipient throughout E3in1 service to the individual. Once the S.H.A.P.E. App is completed, recipients/parents will be able to complete it online together.
Mentoring Program - by partnering with “Save Our Youth”, E3in1 hopes to save time and resources as we acquire mentors for each recipient, qualified to administer the identity program, and spend valuable time with said recipients. The identity program and the mentoring program will become paramount in importance as we seek to develop “World Changers”.
Financial Support – The greatest need for Elevate3in1 is increased financial support. A working/running budget of $1,500,000.00, is necessary for E3in1 to expand its offerings throughout the Denver Metro Area and beyond. E3in1 will continue applying for qualifying grants, pursue individual and corporate donors. Fully financed at the projected amount or greater, E3in1 could potentially serve 800-1,000 youth and families in our state. The average recipient received $556 used for their benefit. The goal for 2019 will raise that amount to $1,500. Funds will be reserved for higher levels of support, particularly for High School students, and scholarship moneys ranging from $5,000 to $8,000 will be reserved for up to 24 graduating seniors or young adults already attending an institution of higher learning.
Financial Statement – 2018
At the outset of 2018, Elevate3in1 maintained as its financial goal and obligation to donors, that 75% of donations would be either reserved for, and ultimately, distributed to recipients. As of December 31, 2018, E3in1, due to increased development expenses and appropriate pay accounting for work accomplished on behalf of the foundation, distributed 64% of donations available to recipients. The remainder of 2017 donations and available 2018 donations will be utilized as payment for the following: establishment costs, promotion, personnel, technology, fundraising expenses, and travel expenses. It should be noted that E3in1 expanded in every area of operation. Example: E3in1 personnel represented the foundation at the annual SHIFT conference - Organization against human trafficking. Materials and a banner had to be acquired as part of the program participation. In addition, Elevate sent its first donor mailer this fall, assumed costs associated with the creation an development of the identity program.
It was a fantastic year of growth for all involved, and we hope to begin adding new recipients, creating new partnerships with businesses and organizations, and finally expanding all programs throughout the new year.

Beginning December 18, E3in1 became partner of WaterStone50, a highly quality donor consortium located in Colorado Springs, for those who desire to contribute directly to E3in1 through a variety of means. Lastly, Elevate3in1 established an Ameritrade account for individual donors/corporations to directly contribute to the vision that is E3in1.
Of the 50 recipients served in 2018, (a majority of youth are under the age of 14) received ongoing E3in1 Educational/Activity support, with support moneys set aside for 2019 for approximately 35 new recipients in January, and additional youth to be supported as funding increases..
Courses or Activities offered recipients include: STEM – Robotics - Coding, Animation-online, Gymnastics, Singing lessons, Guitar Lessons, Meteorology courses for youth - online – Level Specific, Physical Activity/Therapy, Music Therapy, Soccer at a variety of levels, and Basketball Camps. Two recipients received either equipment support and or training/participation support for high school football, and one recipient - uniform and equipment for participation on a high school dance team.
The E3in1 Identity Program was completed in November, but is to be administered in February of 2019. Though no recipient completed the program in 2018, those completing the program will be surveyed at the end of the program to determine the level of success, (age appropriate) and if the program needs to be repeated. All recipients must complete the program over time in order to continue receiving financial support. Surveys are archived to chart progress and application of skills taught in the course.
2019 Goals and Forecast
Recipients Vetted and Served - By the end of February 2019, E3in1 will double the number of youth supported due to the increased partnership opportunities and the completion of additional vetting through our ongoing partnerships. Additionally, the goal of E3in1 is to serve no less than 250 deserving youth in 2019. Upon the completion of each course or activity, the recipient, parent/guardian, and organization is to complete a survey of progress, helping E3in1 personnel determine success, thus continuing support the that recipient in that area of interest. Data will then be archived and continued support initiated. Of course, numbers of recipients is entirely dependent upon increased financial support.
Areas of Colorado Served – 2019 will see an expansion of areas served, primarily throughout the Denver Metro Area, but hope to expand services along the I-70 corridor, (Summit County and the Parachute Corridor) and I-25 corridor, (beginning in Colorado Springs)
Identity Program – Throughout 2019, E3in1 will implement its completed identity program. Additional qualified coaches/mentors will administer the program individually, initiate and engage in relationship with the recipient and family, and maintain connectivity with the recipient throughout E3in1 service to the individual. Once the S.H.A.P.E. App is completed, recipients/parents will be able to complete it online together.
Mentoring Program - by partnering with “Save Our Youth”, E3in1 hopes to save time and resources as we acquire mentors for each recipient, qualified to administer the identity program, and spend valuable time with said recipients. The identity program and the mentoring program will become paramount in importance as we seek to develop “World Changers”.
Financial Support – The greatest need for Elevate3in1 is increased financial support. A working/running budget of $1,500,000.00, is necessary for E3in1 to expand its offerings throughout the Denver Metro Area and beyond. E3in1 will continue applying for qualifying grants, pursue individual and corporate donors. Fully financed at the projected amount or greater, E3in1 could potentially serve 800-1,000 youth and families in our state. The average recipient received $556 used for their benefit. The goal for 2019 will raise that amount to $1,500. Funds will be reserved for higher levels of support, particularly for High School students, and scholarship moneys ranging from $5,000 to $8,000 will be reserved for up to 24 graduating seniors or young adults already attending an institution of higher learning.
Financial Statement – 2018
At the outset of 2018, Elevate3in1 maintained as its financial goal and obligation to donors, that 75% of donations would be either reserved for, and ultimately, distributed to recipients. As of December 31, 2018, E3in1, due to increased development expenses and appropriate pay accounting for work accomplished on behalf of the foundation, distributed 64% of donations available to recipients. The remainder of 2017 donations and available 2018 donations will be utilized as payment for the following: establishment costs, promotion, personnel, technology, fundraising expenses, and travel expenses. It should be noted that E3in1 expanded in every area of operation. Example: E3in1 personnel represented the foundation at the annual SHIFT conference - Organization against human trafficking. Materials and a banner had to be acquired as part of the program participation. In addition, Elevate sent its first donor mailer this fall, assumed costs associated with the creation an development of the identity program.
It was a fantastic year of growth for all involved, and we hope to begin adding new recipients, creating new partnerships with businesses and organizations, and finally expanding all programs throughout the new year.
