About Colorado Access Foundation
Colorado Access Foundation’s recent giving is organized around two strategic funding areas: improving key conditions that affect health and building a more diverse health care workforce. In 2025, the foundation made a $514,225 grant to Metropolitan State University of Denver Foundation Inc and a $275,576 grant to Foundation of Sustainable Urban Communities, showing support for both workforce pipeline work and the neighborhood conditions that shape health equity. Its stated priorities extend to housing stability, food access, transportation access, and community partnerships, all tied to advancing health equity for Coloradans. The grant list also includes support for Childrens Hospital Colorado Foundation at $215,248 and Kids First Health Care at $200,000, indicating that the foundation funds a mix of health-system partners and community-based organizations. It makes charitable support grants to nonprofit organizations rather than grants to individuals, and its active programs include invitation-only systems-level funding alongside program grants and general operating support.
