The Colorado Children’s Campaign researches child well-being, stimulates dialogue on children's issues and promotes accountability and action to improve the health, education, safety and economic security of Colorado's children. The Colorado Children’s Campaign has filled a unique and vital role in Colorado for 16 years, advocating for the well-being of all children in Colorado. The Campaign researches child well-being, stimulates dialogue on children's issues and promotes accountability and action to improve the health, education, safety and economic security of Colorado's children. It mobilizes individuals, organizations and policy-makers to think and act on behalf of children, with particular attention to the health, education and safety of children most at risk. In 2004, Chambers Family Fund and Rose Community Foundation published Then and Now (*PDF), a report describing how funders collaborated to secure the future of the Campaign by committing multi-year general operating support. We supported a needs assessment and invited local foundations interested in children’s issues to a series of meetings about the Campaign’s future and advocacy funding. A strategic plan identified organizational and funding goals to stabilize and build the organization’s capacity. As a result of the funding collaborative, the Campaign raised nearly $1 million in multi-year general support and has appreciably strengthened its staff, its Board and its ability to serve children. *PDFs require the Acrobat Reader .
