Impact

Together, we turn ideas into action

Collaboration drives everything we do. From defining our funding priorities to evaluating and measuring impact, we listen to and learn from communities to focus, guide, and improve our approach to address mental health and substance misuse needs.

How we approach the work

Our funding is equity-driven

Across our funding priorities, we invest in organizations and ideas that increase:

Inclusive Access

Provide diverse, community-based, comfortable care options.

Attention to Fit

Ensure people who seek care—and their caregivers—are supported and respected.

Care Over Time

Support our community on their life-long mental health and substance misuse journeys.

We’re Community-Focused

We work closely with Denver’s communities to identify priority areas where we can have the most impact.

Alternatives to Jail

Trusted support, connections, opportunities, and care for people on the continuum of legal system involvement, from prevention, to care within the system, to preventing re-entry.

Community-Centered Solutions & Care Provision

Community-based care that reflects and values the unique cultures and needs of Denverites and fosters local connections.

Youth

Care that addresses, supports, and creates trusted connections for our community’s youth and their allies—to reduce crisis, increase hope, and create opportunities to thrive.

We measure what matters

Community expertise and experience are core to addressing mental health and substance misuse in Denver. We’re learning from communities, grantees, and public data, and have built a Shared Impact Plan that guides our work together.
