Rural Primary Care Workforce Solutions

Building a Pipeline of Primary Care Providers to Serve Diverse Communities is sponsored by The Colorado Health Foundation. This funding opportunity aims to increase the number of individuals in Colorado's primary healthcare workforce who reflect the state's diverse patient population and/or are committed to serving rural and frontier communities. The program focuses on supporting high school graduates pursuing healthcare careers in primary care, early-career individuals seeking to move into primary care, and individuals transitioning into primary care from other fields. Funding can be used for dedicated staffing, small capital expenditures, marketing for recruitment, paid internships, and subsidies for childcare, housing, or transportation costs, as well as scholarships or tuition.

Community-Initiated Solutions is sponsored by The Colorado Health Foundation. This funding opportunity supports organizations and community members rooted in and accountable to their communities, through authentic partnerships, to advance health equity. Priority is given to proposals that center communities impacted by systemic inequity, including communities of color, Indigenous communities, rural communities, and communities experiencing economic hardship.
