We know that when nonprofits are financially strained by delayed reimbursements, communities feel the impact too. In a new column in @coloradosun.com, we discuss why improving Colorado’s reimbursement-based grant system is so important, and how House Bill 26-1274 would help. #COLeg

Opinion: Fixing how Colorado funds nonprofits will strengthen communities
House Bill 1274 would allow partial grant funding in advance to reduce delays and improve services.

Now more than ever, funding nonprofits that tackle long-term, systemic challenges is essential. These organizations help shape policy that protects our environment, expands opportunity, and empowers young people. 🌍🤝 Check out the 2025 Civic Fabric Fund grantees supported by The Denver Foundation:

About the ACA: go talk to elder Millennials who were dropped from their parents' insurance at the height of the Great Recession because they aged out... when no one was hiring. Go talk to anyone living with pre-existing conditions. Was the ACA enough? No. Better than what existed before? Yes.
