Measurable Results

The Colorado Health Foundation targets investments in Healthy Living, Health Care, and Health Coverage. To gauge how the dollars we invest come back to the people of Colorado, we've developed the evaluation model known as the Measurable Results.

Our Measurable Results are an important mechanism for accountability and transparency so the people of Colorado know that the Foundation manages its resources wisely. In addition to serving as milestones, they are an instrument for learning — identifying what works, what doesn't work and what areas may need more targeted resources.

We have established 12 Measurable Results that help us track and document the important work of the Foundation and our partners. Learn more about our Measurable Results model and how the Measurable Results relates to our grantmaking. Measurable Results findings are updated periodically.
