Catalyzing Health & Vibrancy

The Chaffee County Community Foundation believes health is a foundation on which all else in life is built. In addition, Community Health can take many different forms and is interconnected with so many other areas and sectors.

  • Affordable and robust options for childcare

  • Affordable access to quality medical, mental health, and dental care

  • Youth of all ages are engaged, respected, and contributing

  • Eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health issues
