Funding Opportunities
LiveWell Colorado is happy to post funding opportunities for our partners in obesity prevention. To post a position, please use the Funding Opportunity Form.
If you have further questions about a specific funding opportunity listed, please contact that agency directly.
Several communities in Colorado have expressed an interest in LiveWell Colorado planning and mobilization grants for 2010. LiveWell Colorado is excited about the interest in promoting healthy eating and active living throughout the state and is committed to supporting initiatives at the local community level. In 2010, however, LWC will not fund any new communities, and instead will focus on supporting our 25 current grantees.
In the meantime, we encourage those communities interested in receiving LiveWell Colorado funding in the future to look to the funding opportunities posted on this page. These and other opportunities may help you move forward in addressing healthy eating and active living until the Community Grants Initiative is ready for expansion in the future.

Workshops: If you are new to grant writing, don’t worry. There will be a three grant writing workshops held to help with the application process. – February 4 in Fort Morgan, February 10 in Gunnison, and February 24 in Denver.
