The Colorado Trust

Our Vision

All Coloradans have fair and equal opportunities to lead healthy, productive lives regardless of race, ethnicity, income or where we live.

Our Mission

Advancing the health and well-being of the people of Colorado.

Community Resilience Initiatives

The Community Resilience Initiatives are three-year investments demonstrating the foundation’s belief in and commitment to the strengths, abilities and resiliency of Colorado communities. These seven grantmaking initiatives address the strategic plan’s three focus areas of food, housing, and mental and behavioral health, all of which emerged during the planning process as top priorities in communities across Colorado. This funding aims to bolster entities working to respond effectively to disruptions in communities resulting from economic downturns, social turbulence, public health crises, or a lack of coherent or effective public policy.

The Community Resilience Initiatives include seven (7) competitive grant initiatives:

* [Sustaining Housing Solutions]()
* [Diverse Approaches to Behavioral Health]()
* [Expanding Access to Behavioral Health]()
* [Accessing Healthy Foods]()
* [Building Food Systems]()
* [Capacity Building Assistance]()
* Policy and Advocacy

Policy and Advocacy

The Colorado Trust is seeking to fund up to three policy and advocacy grantees that would focus attention on the public policy, public affairs and regulatory landscape for each of the three focus areas (food, housing, and mental and behavioral health). The purpose of this initiative is to fund entities to provide policy-related services, as well as policy-related support to other CRI grantees.
