The mission of the Colorado Health Foundation is to improve the health of Coloradans. It operates on three cornerstones: serving Coloradans with less power, privilege, and income, especially prioritizing those of color; being informed by the community it aims to serve; and focusing all efforts towards creating health equity.
The grant program is designed for nonprofit executives in Colorado, recognizing the importance of rest and rejuvenation for long-term nonprofit leaders. It aims to provide these leaders with the opportunity to take a sabbatical, stepping away from daily responsibilities to recharge and return with new ideas and renewed energy. The program supports the broader goal of strengthening nonprofit organizations by also focusing on interim leadership and staff capacity building during the executive’s absence.
