Winsome Ministries is a Colorado nonprofit organization relevant to the Protect Kids Colorado source cluster. ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer identifies Winsome Ministries, EIN 87-3169807, as a Loveland, Colorado organization with subsection code 3, a 2022-04-01 ruling date, and a 2024-12-01 tax period.
The current Protect Kids Colorado relevance comes from two source layers: Protect Kids Colorado's resources page labels its Did You Know? flyer as coming from a partner at Winsome Ministries, and Winsome Ministries pages / CauseIQ-rendered text connect Winsome to Protect Kids Colorado volunteer coordination and petition-carrier recruitment.

CauseIQ's rendered 2024 accomplishment text is consistent with that source layer and adds a voter-guide description.
Winsome Ministries event pages identify Protect Kids Colorado as an organizer and describe volunteer recruitment for a Petition Carrier Team. The event text says volunteers would help gather signatures for three citizen-led initiatives and would be connected with training, materials, and local coordination.
Protect Kids Colorado's own resources page labels the Did You Know? flyer as coming from a partner at Winsome Ministries.
CauseIQ renders a 2024-12 Preuss Family Foundation grant of $25,000 to Winsome Ministries for general operating expenses. The current source layer does not connect that grant to Protect Kids Colorado. Treat the grant as a Winsome Ministries funding record, not as a Protect Kids Colorado money-origin record.
Direct CauseIQ PDF retrieval returned a Cloudflare challenge page during the prior pass. Primary IRS XML retrieval is now preserved for the 2024 filing, but this does not identify PKC donor origin or any Winsome funding/control of Protect Kids Colorado.
