The Colorado Springs Health Foundation aims to improve health outcomes by focusing on a population health framework. This includes addressing clinical care, health behaviors, social and economic determinants, and the physical environment.
The Colorado Springs Health Foundation focuses on expanding healthcare access for those most in need, suicide prevention, fostering healthy environments in underserved areas, and trauma prevention and healing within El Paso and Teller Counties, Colorado. The Foundation provides capacity-building mini-grants to support projects that enhance organizational effectiveness and impact in these focus areas. These mini-grants, capped at $5,000, are designed to be accessible, with simple applications and quick decision-making processes. Eligible projects may include strategic planning, impact assessments, board and staff development, and technology upgrades, but they must not be aimed at direct services or organization/program expansion that exceeds this grant's financial scope.
