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 and accelerate advances in health care. Many critically important services offered to UCHealth patients and families in northern Colorado would not exist without private donations made through the foundation. Donations also help thankful patients and families express gratitude—a powerful part of the healing journey for many people.
100% of every donated dollar goes to the foundation’s philanthropic funds, with no overhead costs or administrative fees.
What’s new
NICU bedside cameras help parents stay connected
No birth ever goes as planned, but an extended stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can further complicate life. At the UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital NICU, when families can’t be with their babies, cameras, which were purchased with philanthropic dollars, strengthen bonds.
Community events help cancer patients and fill food pantry
We are deeply thankful for the support of the Ptarmigan Ladies Golf Association and Houska Automotive. Because of their generosity and the fundraisers they foster, hundreds of patients and their families experiencing a cancer diagnosis or food insecurity can breathe a little easier.
Philanthropic support enables women and children’s care unit to innovate
“Spinning babies” might sound like a video game, but in reality it’s an inventive, proactive approach to creating an easier birth. Thanks to donor generosity, the Spinning Babies program, along with some new technology and items that enhance care for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), are available at our northern Colorado hospitals.
Congratulations to our 2022–23 employee scholarship recipients
The generosity of private donors and community business partners, as well as many of our employees, contributed to a total of $69,000 in awards to 50 employees. Congratulations to these individuals.
Upcoming events raise funds—and provide fun and networking
The foundation has three events for you to look forward to in 2023: Spring Benefit and two golf tournaments. We’ll provide more details after the first of the year. In the meantime, please save these dates.
Make a legacy gift—without writing a check
One of the most effective yet simplest ways you can support a charitable organization is by including a gift in your will. Also known as a charitable bequest, a gift made through your will can benefit both you and the causes most important to you.

I am so proud of the work our team has done and all of the lives they’ve touched.”
