What are we doing in this area? We support individuals and organizations as they develop and strengthen the skills necessary to advocate for and promote a more equitable health environment—one where public policies reflect our priorities and health is in reach for all Coloradans. What are our priorities?
The actions of local, state and federal governments have significant impact on whether or not health is in reach for Coloradans:
Advocacy has the power to shape what the public sector does with its influence and resources.
Identify issues limiting health equity Determine whether policy change is an appropriate means to improve health equity Develop policy solutions to improve health equity Advocate for passage of policy changes through appropriate body Ensure policy is properly implemented and enforced Evaluate the new policy’s impact on health equity
The Foundation will create a stronger and more interconnected ecosystem of advocates across the state who are proactively working to advance health equity in Colorado through policy change. This funding opportunity will provide:
