About Colorado Springs Health Foundation
Colorado Springs Health Foundation uses its grantmaking to meet immediate health care needs while also supporting healthy living in El Paso and Teller Counties. Its recent grants show a broad local portfolio that reaches community health organizations, housing providers, food access groups, and collaborative efforts focused on systems change. In 2025, it gave $300,000 to Peak Vista Community Health Centers for program work and $200,000 to Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado for program support, illustrating a mix of health access and basic-needs funding. The foundation also backed housing-linked work, including a $255,000 general operating grant to Greccio Housing, and invested in community infrastructure such as the $400,000 capital grant to the City of Colorado Springs. Its funding pattern includes both large awards and smaller capacity-building opportunities, with one-year mini-grants and project support available alongside broader community grants. Across the recent grant list, the foundation appears to prioritize organizations that serve local residents and strengthen the systems around health, food, housing, and prevention.
What Colorado Springs Health Foundation Funds
Healthcare access is one of the foundation’s clearest priorities. It awarded $300,000 to Peak Vista Community Health Centers for program work and $250,000 to Catholic Charities of Central Colorado, showing support for organizations that connect people to care and related services. Food access is another visible area: Food to Power received $350,000 in 2023, followed by a $200,000 general operating grant in 2025, and Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado received $200,000 for program support. Housing-related grants also stand out, including $255,000 to Greccio Housing for general operating support and $200,000 to Brothers Redevelopment Inc for program work. The foundation’s focus areas also include suicide prevention and trauma prevention or healing, which appear in its funding opportunities and in the way it structures competitive and capacity-building grants.
