Advocacy
Our Focus
Children are more likely to thrive when caregivers, families and communities experience opportunities for health and well-being. We believe all children, youth and families deserve equitable access to systems of support.
Partnering to promote public policy advocacy and systems change can promote justice and equity and achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people in Colorado.
Public Policy Advocacy
Caring for Colorado responsively funds public policy advocacy, at local, county and state levels, to support efforts that align with our goals in Healthy Beginnings, Healthy Youth and Strong and Resilient Families.
We are currently updating our Public Policy Advocacy Focus Area. The next application deadline for this Focus Area will be in late summer. If you have questions about the PPA Focus Area or cycle timeline, please contact us at grants@caringforcolorado.org.
