Committed to advancing the health and well-being of all Coloradans.
Health equity means every Coloradan can reach their full health potential, free from socially determined disadvantages. Through our partnerships and funding, we strive to advance health equity by supporting organizations that provide direct services, public education and policy
advocacy, and promote systemic change. Our grantmaking is community-informed and relies on local solutions whenever possible.
The Colorado Trust was established in 1985 from the PSL Healthcare Corporation sale proceeds. More information on the creation and early years of the foundation can be found in A History of The Colorado Trust, a 2011 book authored by John R. Moran, Jr., our former president and chief executive officer.
