TAKE NOTE COLORADO (TNC) CONTINUED TO FULFILL ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO MUSICAL INSTRUCTION AND INSTRUMENTS ACROSS THE STATE OF COLORADO, FOCUSED ON YOUTH IN GRADES K-12 WHO LACK ACCESS. PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS IN COLORADO WERE STRENGTHENED, WITH SECOND-YEAR FUNDING COMMITMENTS FOR EIGHT CLUBS AND FIRST-YEAR INVESTMENT IN THREE NEW CLUBS THAT ARE IMPLEMENTING MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR UNDERSERVED YOUTH IN THEIR COLORADO COMMUNITIES. THE ORGANIZATION REMAINS IN A HEALTHY FINANCIAL POSITION, WITH MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES MINIMAL. IN ADDITION TO SMALLER DONATIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, LARGER FUNDRAISING EVENTS ARE PLANNED FOR EARLY 2026, TO REPLACE REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE FORMER ANNUAL SING IT TO ME SANTA FUNDRAISER, WHICH IS NO LONGER BEING IMPLEMENTED.
