“
The Colorado Trust is a private health foundation that, since its creation in 1985, has been dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of Coloradans. We believe all Coloradans should have fair and equal opportunities to lead healthy, productive lives regardless of race, ethnicity, income or where we live. Thus, starting now, The Trust is refocusing its vision to address health equity issues.
The Colorado Trust will engage partners to move our new vision forward by funding the following issue areas:
- Policy and Advocacy – advancing health equity policy solutions through a field-building approach.
- Data and Information – monitoring inequities in health outcomes and social determinants through data collection and analysis to inform stakeholders and advance health equity.
- Community-based Participatory Grantmaking – addressing health equity in partnership with communities throughout Colorado.
Good health depends on more than medical care. It is affected by where we live, the education we receive, the work we do, the wages we earn and by our opportunities to make decisions that improve our own family’s health.
By working together, we hope to end inequalities facing racial/ethnic, low-income and other populations. Read more from Dr. Ned Calonge about The Trust’s health
equity vision.
New grant strategies and funding opportunities will begin in early 2014. Sign up to receive notification of future opportunities.” [Source:
