Colorado OutSpoken currently receives all its funding from the underwriters you see listed on the right side of this page and from donations from individuals. At present, we do not receive any funding as grants from any organization.
Our current financial situation is extremely serious; we do not have enough money to pay for recent past studio rental nor to continue operations at any level. We really need your help.

Colorado OutSpoken, preceded by The Lambda Report, is the longest-running LGBT news and information program in North America.

Why does Colorado OutSpoken need money?
Despite being staffed completely by volunteers, Colorado OutSpoken has expenses. We rent our studio facilities, we must buy video tape and blank DVDs, we must pay for our telephone line and our website hosting, and we must acquire and maintain our production equipment.
How much money is needed?
Our total annual budget is approximately $1,500. While that amount is the absolute minimum, we aspire to having additional funding in order to implement improvements in the show and to engage in other production projects. [See financial statements...]
What would be done if more money were available?
We have quite a "wish list" of things we would like to do if we had the funds. Two of the highest priority uses would be to contract with a professional grant proposal developer and to compensate a part-time or full-time producer/manager. [Read more...]
What is the source of funding?

What is required to produce an episode of Colorado OutSpoken?
Each episode requires money and labor. Money is needed to rent the studio, to purchase the required video tapes, and to buy a number of recordable DVDs used to provide guests with complimentary copies of the show. Of course, the "per episode" cost doesn't include the cost of our set, which exceeded $1,000. The amount of labor required is surprising. [Read more...]
