Strategic Planning Update
The Caring for Colorado Board of Directors recently approved a new vision, mission and strategic funding framework for our organization. Over the summer our board and staff will work to refine our funding framework and develop our strategies, priorities and learning objectives. Our new strategic plan will be announced in October 2019.

Community Input Report
In 2018–2019, CFC embarked upon series of community conversations across to Colorado to inform the development of a new 2020–2025 Strategic Plan. These conversations, together with a statewide survey and a deep look at community- level health data, provided us with meaningful information about the changing health needs in our state. Our Community Input Report details the high-level themes of what we heard.
Learning and Impact Summaries
Learning from Caring for Colorado Foundation’s grantee partners is an important aspect of our evaluation approach. Read the Community Health, Healthy Children and Youth, Mental Health and Oral Health summaries to learn more about how CFC funding affected an array of communities and residents, help inform future grantmaking strategies, and add to our knowledge about specific health issues and community health needs.
