Funding

Funding for CAHEC programs is provided by grants, contracts and fee-for-service agreements. CAHEC regularly applies for federal, state and private grants to undertake new programs or continue current ones. It is also approached by public and private organizations that will provide funding to CAHEC to implement programs they have developed on their own. While CAHEC mainly focuses on its 10-county region, some of the programs it undertakes are also implemented in collaboration with the four other Colorado AHEC centers within their respective regions.
