Reproductive Health Equity in Colorado

The Reproductive Health Equity initiative is a funding opportunity aimed at expanding and improving sexual and reproductive equity across Colorado. This initiative, led by ReproCollab under the Caring for Colorado Foundation, focuses on ensuring that all Coloradans, particularly those historically marginalized and underrepresented, have the autonomy and power to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. The grant supports efforts that protect and expand access to contraceptive care, promote community-led solutions in sexual health education, and strengthen advocacy and leadership in reproductive health equity. ReproCollab is built on the principles of reproductive justice and acknowledges the broader social, structural, and intersectional issues that influence reproductive health and rights. The initiative works with diverse partners, including funders, clinicians, researchers, grassroots leaders, and community organizations, to create systemic change in reproductive healthcare and advocacy. It prioritizes communities that have been historically excluded from accessing reproductive health services and medically accurate information. Funding is available for projects that align with the initiative’s three core strategies: protecting and expanding contraceptive access, promoting community-led solutions in sexual health education, and leading advocacy efforts for reproductive equity. The grant also supports the Choose When initiative, which provides funding to safety-net clinics to increase contraceptive access in underserved areas, particularly for uninsured and underinsured individuals. Eligible applicants may include nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, community-based organizations, and advocacy groups that work towards reproductive health equity in Colorado. Organizations applying for funding should demonstrate a commitment to community-driven approaches and equity-based solutions in reproductive health services and education. The grant timeline, submission requirements, funding amounts, and specific eligibility details are not explicitly stated in the provided information. However, potential applicants should expect to provide a proposal detailing their project scope, objectives, and how their work aligns with ReproCollab’s mission. The evaluation criteria will likely focus on the project’s impact on reproductive health equity, community engagement, and sustainability. For more details, interested applicants should directly contact Caring for Colorado or ReproCollab for funding availability, deadlines, and application procedures. Organizations working to improve reproductive healthcare access, sexual health education, and advocacy in Colorado are encouraged to apply for funding to support their efforts in achieving reproductive equity.
