With 100% of our annual budget coming from income generated through store sales and fee-for-service programming, this revenue pays for the day-to-day operations such as rent, utilities, and some salaries. Income generated from sales also allow us to underwrite arts and educational outreach programs to the local communities which educate people of the benefits of reusing materials.
We are proud to announce that our new nonprofit partner for the foreseeable future is Art SWAP. Art SWAP is a 501(c)(3) in existence to enhance Colorado communities by creating job opportunities, promoting community involvement, preserving the environment and raising awareness through the recycling of arts and craft supplies.
