About the Organization

The Colorado Health Foundation is a statewide philanthropic organization that champions the overall health and well-being of every Coloradan, by advocating for and investing in solutions and policies that drive health equity and racial justice. We believe that keeping equity at the heart of our work will lead us to better health. That starts from within, including intentional application of diversity, equity, and inclusion practices that guide how we operate and work in communities across Colorado. For example, our cornerstones are designed to help ensure that:

• We serve Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income, and prioritize Coloradans of color.
• We do everything with the intent of creating health equity.
• We are informed by the community and those we exist to serve.
