FUNDING
PLANNING FOR SUCCESS
To sustain its commitment to providing meaningful and rewarding outdoor experiences to young people and their parents at no charge, CYO continually works to diversify its funding sources. The organization has five vehicles to generate income in support of its programs: the Alumni Association, Friends of CYO, corporate and foundation grants, earned income contracts and CYO's premier fund raising event- the Tom Rouen & Amy Van Dyken Celebrity Shoot Out.

SEED
To bring CYO to a community or high school, Pinecone Society sponsors seed the program with a three-year commitment of $9,000 per year. Gifts from the Friends of Colorado Youth Outdoors combine with these sponsor contributions to initiate the program.
MAINTAIN
In year four and beyond, contributions from the Friends of Colorado Youth Outdoors, proceeds from the Celebrity Shoot Out, earned income contracts and grants work together to maintain the program and insure its success.
SUSTAIN
Beginning in year five, the Alumni Association becomes the primary funding mechanism for the program. Voluntary contributions from past participants combine with the organization's other funding sources to secure the program's future in each community.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORT
From Friends of CYO to the Pinecone Society, opportunities to get involved with Colorado Youth Outdoors exist at any level. These valuable gifts allow CYO to continue building organizational capacity while introducing the program to communities throughout the state.
All contributors have the satisfaction of knowing that their gifts have helped connect a new generation of young people and their parents by introducing them to traditional outdoor experiences that promote life-long participation. In appreciation for these contributions, Colorado Youth Outdoors offers a range of benefits, designed to keep donors connected and informed.
