The Fund for a Healthier Colorado

Everyone should have a fair chance at living a healthy life.

The Fund for a Healthier Colorado improves the health and well-being of Coloradans through research, policy development, and advocacy.

We tackle some of the most pressing health issues facing Coloradans – and we win. Some of our big victories include:

  • Passing the nation's strongest regulations on AI chatbot interactions with kids, built with support across party lines.
  • Making Colorado the first state to put common-sense limits on online sports betting.
  • Ensuring Coloradans actually get the life-saving mental health care they're prescribed by establishing evidence-based standards for insurance coverage.
  • Creating universal access to preschool for every child in Colorado.
  • Lowering Colorado’s teen nicotine vaping rate by 60% from what had been the nation’s highest level in 2019.
  • Creating the “Colorado Option” for affordable health insurance, saving Coloradans millions of dollars in health care costs.


What your gift helps us do next:

  • Improve mental and behavioral health outcomes
  • Increase access to quality, affordable oral health services
  • Increase access to quality, affordable health care
  • Provide critical supports in early childhood for a healthy start and lifelong benefits
