Community Engagement Fund

Thank you for your interest in partnering with CommonSpirit Health!

This application is intended for nonprofit and community-based organizations seeking community engagement support from one of our CommonSpirit Health – Mountain Region hospitals, serving communities across Colorado, Utah, and Kansas.

The Community Engagement Fund supports programs, events, and initiatives that advance health equity, address identified community health needs, and improve overall community well-being. Priority is given to requests that align with our mission, values, and Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs); however, we welcome thoughtful proposals that demonstrate meaningful community impact.

Application Review Timeline:

Requests are reviewed on a quarterly basis, with review cycles in September, December, March, and June. To allow adequate time for review, internal coordination, and processing, we strongly encourage organizations to submit requests at least 60 days prior to the anticipated funding or event date.

*Submission of this application does not guarantee approval or funding.

Scope of Requests:

Organizations may use this form to submit requests for multiple programs or events within the same calendar year, provided each request is clearly described.

Hospital Selection:

If you are unsure which hospital best aligns with your request, or if the request applies to multiple sites, please select “Unknown/Regional.” Our team will ensure the request is routed to the appropriate hospital or regional review team.

Thank you for your commitment to building healthier communities. We appreciate the work you do and look forward to learning more about your organization and request.

About Our Community Engagement Fund
Most requests supported through our Community Engagement Fund qualify for Community Benefit (CBISA) reporting, meaning they:

  • Provide a measurable benefit to the broader community, especially underserved or vulnerable populations; and

  • Align with a need identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and prioritized in the Community Health Implementation Strategy (CHIP). 

    You can     [click here to view your hospital’s health priorities map]. These priorities represent the specific areas where our hospital has committed resources and partnerships to achieve measurable improvements in community health.

We welcome all requests that support our hospital’s mission, even if they do not meet CBISA criteria. If your request is not CBISA-eligible, we ask that it aligns with our mission and values and demonstrates a positive impact on the community. We encourage you to share any ideas or initiatives that help us fulfill our commitment to improving community health and well-being.


The following types of requests are generally NOT eligible:

  • Political campaigns or lobbying efforts

  • For-profit businesses or events benefiting private individuals

  • Golf tournaments

  • Requests benefiting only hospital employees

  • General operating support, salaries, or overhead *not tied to a specific program

  • Requests primarily for hospital marketing/publicity

  • Direct financial assistance to individuals

  • Programs duplicating services we already provide as standard care

If you’re not sure whether your request is eligible, please feel free to submit your application, all requests are carefully considered and reviewed. For questions, guidance, or to discuss your idea before applying, reach out to our Community Health team at communityhealth-mntn@commonspirit.org. We’re here to help!
