The grant application provides the opportunity for applicants to introduce their organization, tell the foundation about the community they serve, what community health assessment gap the applicants are addressing, and how foundation can help. It will also allow foundation to determine whether the purpose or project for which applicants are seeking funding, aligns with foundation’s mission and values.
Rocky Mountain Health Foundation improves the health of western slope Coloradans serving as a catalyst and collaborator for innovative healthcare approaches, and promoting the health and well-being of Western Slope communities. “Well-being” includes not only physical and behavioral health-related issues, but the factors that can affect one’s health—or the social determinants of health.
