Florence Crittenton Services

What Florence Crittenton Services does

Florence Crittenton Services is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1893 that operates a single integrated campus at 96 S Zuni Street delivering two-generation wraparound services to pregnant and parenting teens (ages 14-21) and their children. Its core product set is structured as a campus model with four flagship programs: Florence Crittenton High School (a Denver Public Schools-run diploma program for teen moms), a four-star Colorado Shines rated Early Childhood Education Center serving children 6 weeks through Pre-K, the Alethia E. Morgan MD Health Center (a Denver Health partnership providing obstetric, pediatric, mental health, and dental care), and the Student and Family Support Program offering case management, mental health, housing navigation, and post-secondary planning under a Growth Framework assessment. Supporting services include Baby Bucks and Housing Basic Needs stores, the Mercado Food Pantry, a Legal Clinic, scholarship programs, and on-site DMV2Go and Lyft/shuttle transport access. In FY2024, 178 pregnant and parenting teens progressed toward high school completion and post-secondary readiness, with an 81% three-year graduation rate (2.5x the national average for girls who became pregnant before age 18), 85 families avoiding homelessness, 97 receiving housing support, and 67 receiving therapy.

The organization's business model is donation- and grant-funded rather than transactional: all services are provided at no cost to participants. Revenue streams include individual donations and monthly giving (Phoenix Society, PathBuilder, Empowerment Society tiers), signature fundraising events (Pathways to Empowerment Gala with 500+ attendees; Miles for Moms Run/Walk/Roll), corporate sponsorships and volunteer partnerships (DaVita, KPMG, Deloitte, NBCUniversal, Xcel Energy), workplace giving through Mile High United Way and state/federal campaigns, government grants and a Denver Public Schools partnership funding the high school, Colorado Child Care Contribution and Homeless Contribution tax credit programs, and the Dorotha Hogue Endowment plus planned giving instruments. Go-to-market is community-led — families reach FloCrit through school and healthcare referrals, community partners, and word of mouth, supported by the FloCrit Activators advocacy program and earned media coverage (9NEWS Word of Thanks, Denverite). Governance sits with a Board of Directors running six committees and a Junior Board, with Desta Taye-Channell as President & CEO.
