| FORM 990 | COLORADO GOVERNOR JARED POLIS ISSUED EXECUTIVE ORDER D 2020 003 ON MARCH 11, 2020, DECLARING A DISASTER EMERGENCY IN COLORADO DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF COVID-19. THAT EMERGENCY DECLARATION REMAINED IN PLACE THROUGHOUT ALL OF 2021. THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION OF COLORADO & WYOMING ENACTED APPROPRIATE ELEMENTS OF ITS BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN AND ITS COVID-19 PANDEMIC PLAN AND CONTINUED TO FOLLOW LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. WITH MANY BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS CLOSED AND IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING LIMITED, WE PIVOTED NEARLY 100% OF OUR PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS TO VIRTUAL FORMATS, OFTEN WITH SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPACT. OUR GOAL WAS TO ADVANCE OUR MISSION WHILE ADDRESSING THE EMERGENT NEEDS OF THOSE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. FORTUNATELY, OUR LONG-TIME DONORS REMAINED LOYAL, AND THE PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT WE RECEIVED IN COMBINATION WITH FEDERAL COVID RELIEF PROGRAMS HAS ENABLED US TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES IMPOSED BY THE VARIOUS ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC. WE MADE A PARTIAL RETURN TO OUR NORMAL PROGRAMMING AND EVENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 2022, BUT CONTINUE TO OFFER SERVICES AND PROGRAMS IN A VIRTUAL OR HYBRID FORMAT TO MEET EVOLVING COMMUNITY NEEDS. TO ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO SUCCEED IN TIMES OF CONTINUING UNCERTAINTY, WE WILL RELY ON THE SAME TWO BUSINESS STRATEGIES THAT HAVE PROVEN SUCCESSFUL THUS FAR: FIRST, WE WILL MAINTAIN A STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION THAT ALLOWS FOR RISK-TAKING AND THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE THROUGH PROGRAMMATIC INNOVATION, AND SECOND, WE WILL UTILIZE PROGRAMMATIC SUCCESSES TO DRIVE CONTINUING PHILANTHROPIC INVESTMENT. |
| FORM 990, PART III | THE MISSION OF THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION OF COLORADO & WYOMING IS TO CONNECT, EDUCATE AND EMPOWER THE NEARLY 65,000 INDIVIDUALS IN COLORADO AND WYOMING DIAGNOSED WITH EPILEPSY TO LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES. WITH ONE IN 26 PEOPLE DEVELOPING EPILEPSY IN HIS OR HER LIFETIME IT IS OUR GOAL TO REDUCE STIGMA AND RAISE AWARENESS, ADVOCATE FOR BETTER PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES, AND PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT TO THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE THE ONLY ORGANIZATION IN COLORADO AND WYOMING FIGHTING TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES OF LIVING WITH EPILEPSY AND TO ACCELERATE THERAPIES TO STOP SEIZURES, FIND CURES AND SAVE LIVES. FOR NEARLY 60 YEARS, THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION OF COLORADO & WYOMING HAS BROUGHT HOPE AND OPPORTUNITIES TO THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN, ADULTS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND CAREGIVERS. THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WE CONNECT PEOPLE TO HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, SUPPORT NETWORKS, AND TO EACH OTHER. WE EDUCATE SCHOOLS, EMPLOYERS, AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE, TO REDUCE STIGMA AND RAISE AWARENESS. WE ALSO EMPOWER PEOPLE AFFECTED BY EPILEPSY WITH KNOWLEDGE, RESOURCES, AND ADVOCACY. WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR REACH TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY NONPROFITS, HOSPITALS, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND PATIENT AND CAREGIVER GROUPS TO SPONSOR EDUCATIONAL EVENTS TO RAISE AWARENESS AND BUILD CONNECTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY. SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMS INCLUDE: EPILEPSY EDUCATION THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE COMMUNITY TRAINING AND SEIZURE FIRST AID, SPANISH- LANGUAGE OUTREACH, AND AN ANNUAL EPILEPSY CONNECT SYMPOSIUM; INFORMATION AND REFERRAL ON MEDICATIONS, PROCEDURES, PHYSICIANS, AND MORE; EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, UTILITIES, AND GROCERIES FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS; MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS SUCH AS PROJECT UPLIFT, CASE MANAGEMENT, AND ART THERAPY AVAILABLE TO ASSIST THOSE WITH EPILEPSY WHO ARE AS MUCH AS FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO HAVE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY COMPARED TO THE GENERAL POPULATION; AND SCHOOL TRAINING, SUMMER CAMPS AND YOUTH LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOCUSING ON ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS IMPACTED BY EPILEPSY, WHICH CAN BE AN ISOLATING AND LONELY DIAGNOSIS. |
