The Groundwork for Funding
We believe keeping equity at the heart of our work will lead Coloradans to better health. While there are countless drivers of health, racial injustice is the leading driver of health inequity for communities of color living on low income. That’s why we prioritize Coloradans of color and address the deepest, most historically entrenched inequities that affect health based on a person’s socioeconomic status, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, country of origin and religion.
Our work, and that which we expect of our partners, is rooted in three cornerstones:
- Serve Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income, and prioritize Coloradans of color;
- Do everything with the intention to create health equity; and
- Be informed by the community and those we exist to serve.
