Applications from Colorado-based nonprofit and publicly-funded organizations will be considered on a rolling basisthrough August 2020. We will review single-year, $10,000 to $50,000 funding requests for general operating support. Organizations need to demonstrate operational impact from COVID-19. Review our grant guidelines.

Please note: For current grant partners whose grant extends beyond March 2021, we greatly value our partnership. However, you are not eligible to apply in effort to more equitably allocate resources. Please contact the Foundation to further discuss if needed.

This funding strategy aligns with our traditional approach to funding, yet extends beyond our oral health equity priority, to align current greater health concerns within three strategic focus areas:

Access to care: All individuals have affordable, accessible and comprehensive health care.
Prevention: Effective and innovative programs are available to support preventive and basic healthcare needs.
Health Connections: People are able to balance supporting their basic needs and their ability to afford and access healthcare.

Traditionally, we have partnered with communities to reimagine how all of our neighbors access, benefit from, and value the importance of oral health care to make the greatest impact in Colorado communities. This year, we are responding to the effects of COVID-19 by providing funding opportunities to organizations that deliver coordinated, collaborative wrap-around services with multiple options that truly empower community members to access and navigate larger systems that impact their health.
