UCHealth Northern Colorado Foundation
We improve lives.
Our not-for-profit hospitals focus on investing resources to improve the lives of our families, friends and neighbors in northern Colorado. Our foundation helps provide value-added services not covered by insurance.
Through the generosity of individual, corporate, and foundation donors, as well as through public grant funding, UCHealth Northern Colorado Foundation provides funding to support innovative research and education, patient financial assistance, community health programs, and enhancements to patient care.
Private donations from community members enable us to bridge gaps in services, accelerate advances in health care, and help thankful patients and families express gratitude. Many critically important services offered to UCHealth patients and families in northern Colorado would not exist without private donations made through the foundation.
100 percent of every donated dollar goes to the foundation’s philanthropic funds, with no overhead costs or administrative fees.

Help cancer patients and their families.
Our cancer patient assistance funds help patients with the financial distress they can experience as they undergo the often lengthy treatments a cancer diagnosis involves.

These dollars help pay expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, gasoline and more. There is a demonstrated need to increase not only the amount granted to each patient but how many patients we can assist. Learn more and donate today. Read more
