Purpose

The Comprecare Fund provides grants for either program support and/or general operating support for organizations working toward optimal wellness for older adults in Colorado. This is a statewide fund, and organizations in rural and urban areas are encouraged to apply.

Awardees will be community-based projects that focus on helping older adults maintain their health through self-help and lifestyle changes. The fund has a broad definition of optimal wellness and will consider any project that addresses wellness.

Proposals should include:

  • Engagement of community residents, programs, agencies, and key stakeholders who can increase access to wellness and strive to improve outcomes for older adults
  • Demonstrated needs of seniors in the community through quantitative and qualitative data
  • Evidence that the organization is collectively prepared to tackle wellness with evidence-based interventions
  • Mechanisms to demonstrate measurable outcomes and an increase to accessing treatment
Eligibility

Grants will be awarded primarily to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Applicants must be located in or serve people living in Colorado. Government agencies may apply if they collaborate with a nonprofit and can demonstrate the community outcomes for seniors in the areas of physical health, good nutrition, and management of chronic health conditions.
