The Colorado Health Foundation is bringing health in reach for all Coloradans by engaging closely with communities across the state through investing, policy advocacy, learning and capacity building. Learn how we’re working to achieve health equity and the cornerstones upon which our work is based.

• We know that we alone cannot make lasting change. But hand-in-hand with our partners we can.
• We use our full philanthropic resources including: grantmaking, policy and advocacy, strategic private investments, technical advice and convening to improve the health of Coloradans.
