Healthy living funding available

The Colorado Health Foundation has a new funding opportunity within the Healthy Living outcome area: Activating Places and Spaces Together. In Healthy Living, the focus is on ensuring that every kid in Colorado has the opportunity to eat healthy and engage in physical activity.

As part of the Colorado Health Foundation's focus on ensuring that communities have quality indoor and outdoor infrastructure that encourages kids to be physically active, this funding opportunity supports locally-defined, place-specific efforts to get people outdoors and actively engaged in their neighborhoods - together.
