Funding Opportunity: Supporting Immigrant and Refugee Communities | The Colorado Health Foundation Funding Opportunity: Supporting Immigrant and Refugee Communities Colorado’s immigrant* and refugee** populations are integral to the health of our state, yet these communities face unique needs and challenges.

Today, families are confronted with a rapidly changing landscape of immigration policies and the uncertainty that goes along with it.

Through this support, we seek to advance opportunities to pursue good health and achieve health equity. This funding opportunity will support organizations with projects up to $50,000 for up to 12 months.
