Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado

What Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado does

Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado (legal name: Brain Injury Association of Colorado, Inc., EIN 84-0893049) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1980 and headquartered at 7900 E Colfax Ave in Denver, Colorado. The organization operates as Colorado's statewide hub for brain injury support, providing programs — including resource facilitation, classes and workshops, clinical therapy (Medicaid or private pay), adaptive recreation, support groups across regional and virtual cohorts, and education including Certified Brain Injury Specialist training — to survivors of traumatic brain injury, stroke, and concussion, as well as their families, caregivers, and the professionals who serve them. The organization also operates the Valor on the Fax permanent supportive housing facility (72 units, completed August 2023) for unhoused individuals with brain injury, and the Denver Brain Injury Reentry Program (funded by the Caring for Denver Foundation since 2020, expanded in 2023), which delivers the A.H.E.A.D. curriculum across Denver problem-solving courts. In 2025 BIAC served 757 survivors through Resource Facilitators, 1,176 people in Classes & Workshops, and 3,292 people across events and training.

BIAC's revenue model is entirely philanthropic, drawing on individual donations (including one-time, monthly, and planned giving such as wills, charitable gift annuities, and stock gifts), corporate sponsorships across multiple tiers, vehicle donations processed via Vehicles for Charity, designated scholarship funds (Bruno/Reinhardt Scholarship Fund supporting adaptive recreation camps at Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center), and grants from foundations including Caring for Denver Foundation, The Denver Foundation, Reiter Family Foundation, and Shifting Gears on Brain Health. Colorado residents donating $100 or more qualify for a 25% Homelessness Contribution Tax Credit. Most services are provided at no cost without requiring an official brain injury diagnosis; clinical therapy is the primary fee-based service line, billed to Colorado Medicaid or private pay. BIAC sustains go-to-market reach through a hybrid segmentation strategy — direct beneficiary intake (Client Connection Request Form, phone, in-person), professional referral networks (hospitals, rehabilitation centers, courts, attorneys), and recurring community fundraisers (the Pikes Peak Challenge, now in its 41st year, and the Cathleen's Cause / Bruno/Reinhardt Golf Tournament).
