Create SAFE LIVING SPACES through professional organizing
Increased INDEPENDENCE for social services candidates
100% made possible by COMMUNITY donors
COS families face severe living and housing problems like unsafe conditions.U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development, 2020
Many neighbors don't live safely in their homes.
For some, it's more than just clutter. Their living environment is holding back their lives and impacting their safety or mental health.
Problem is, not only is it hard to know which neighbors are drowning in a tough season, not everyone is equipped to help.
That's where we come in.
Whether it's an unsafe living space for seniors or children, partner or sexual violence, or even long-term medical, mental health, or behavioral issues, some people are in a season where they need a bit of extra help in Colorado Springs.
Led by professional organizers. Partnered with social services.
We're helping needs-based Colorado Springs residents, who are identified by a social services agency partner, with professional organizing support to help them overcome an overwhelming season in their lives.
When you donate, our neighbors become safer.
We are able to take on these projects through your donations, and lives are changed. Just $25 helps more spaces get sponsored and transformed.
Help us by donating today. Every little bit helps.

Frequently-Asked Questions
What makes Impactful Organizing recipients different?
For Impactful Organizing recipients, their clutter is an emotional barrier that is holding them back from self-sufficiency, such as maintaining a job or managing a safe home environment for children. We're an approved Colorado Medicaid provider, and our team brings clinical training, professional organizing credentials, and required background checks to every project, so recipients get support that's both compassionate and credentialed.
How much does a typical project cost?
A typical project costs $1,000. This includes:
- $50 Discovery Session, in-home consultation to discuss needs, goals, and organizing solutions
- $250 worth of organizing products
- $750 Two 3-hour organizing sessions with two professional organizers. An Organizing Session includes:
- Sorting and decluttering items
- Setting up simple, organized systems
- Donation drop-off
What does my donation pay for?
Your donation goes directly toward a project to improve a neighbor's space and life. See the question above "How much does a typical project cost?" for the cost breakdown. Private donations cover our overhead costs outside of projects. Full transparency is important to us: view our IRS Tax-Exempt Determination Letter, our 2024 IRS Form 990-EZ, and our 2023 Impact Report.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes! Our Tax ID number is 88-2070144: Sponsor A Space DBA Impactful Organizing.
Can I pay with a check?
Yes! You can mail a check to: Impactful Organizing, 4304 Austin Bluffs Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80918. If you have any questions, you can also reach us at 719-445-9898 or by email at [email protected].
Can I donate supplies?
Yes! We share specific project supply needs on Facebook, Instagram, and our Amazon wishlist. Because of storage limits, we're not able to accept general drop-off donations outside that list.
Can I refer someone for a future project?
It depends on their situation. If they have Colorado Medicaid, they can join our Medicaid waitlist for our free in-home organizing program. If they're already working with one of our Social Services Partners, that agency can visit our website and fill out the Community Access Program form and we'll help facilitate a referral. We're not yet able to take open applications outside of those two paths, but we're actively growing our partner network, reach out if you'd like to become a referral partner.
Can I help organize?
Yes, in some ways! Because of the sensitive nature of client projects, all staff and volunteers who work directly with clients go through required training and background checks. We do welcome volunteers in other ways, like events, outreach, and planning, that don't require the same level of screening. Reach out through our contact form to share your interest, and we'll follow up about current opportunities.
Does Impactful Organizing help spaces like the TV show Hoarders?
Impactful Organizing is not currently structured to assist with whole house projects like those featured on Hoarders. We do help with some hoarding-like situations. Each project has a targeted approach to address safety and well-being needs.
Together, we can help our neighbors in Colorado Springs.
