Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Three, multi-episode podcasts were started, which can be found on our website. One of those podcasts, Larimer County Snapshot News is also available in video and is shown on our TV channels and other video platforms.Our website was updated and improved by our volunteers. One of the new features allows us to accept payment directly through the website for membership dues and class fees.Volunteers recorded over 50 sessions at FoCo Comic Con and Founded in FoCo, as well as a community event, An Evening with Camille Dungy, sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Larimer County. The latter program was shown on our platforms. Non-profits from around the county took advantage of our free Community Bulletin Board, which runs on our website and in between shows on our cable stations, to advertise their upcoming events. The bulletin board itself was upgraded to include current weather, local headlines, and a livestream from a local radio station. Board members expanded their networking systems and built new partnerships with Rocky Mountain PBS, the CSU Honors Program, CSU Deliberative Journalism classes, Deliberative Journalism Project of Northern Colorado, Women in Filmmaking in Colorado, Northern Colorado Filmmakers, and others.
