CRHC funding comes from federal grants, private foundations, membership, sponsorship, and donations. CRHC does not receive any state dollars and relies on grants and contributions to support many of its programs and services. Contributing to CRHC will help strengthen the rural health infrastructure in Colorado, which in turn will ensure rural communities have access to quality healthcare services.

Sponsor a Specific Program or Service
CRHC offers a variety of programs and services to constituents. Sponsorship of any of these programs provides publicity and visibility for the organization and helps ensure the program's sustainability.

Sponsor or Host an Event
CRHC hosts regional forums to discuss local health issues, as well as workshops and seminars on a variety of topics including billing/reimbursement, quality improvement, and network development. Sponsorship of a workshop can include bringing in a speaker, providing lunch or snacks, or offering scholarships for rural participants. Marketing materials publicizing these events will be sent out to CRHC constituents recognizing all sponsors. Sponsors also have the opportunity to include brochures or other marketing materials with participant folders and, if appropriate, will have the opportunity to speak briefly to the group about their organizations. CRHC will also send a variety of marketing materials to constituents advertising the event.

Participate in an Event
Besides sponsoring, there are many other ways to participate in a CRHC event: host a roundtable discussion, sponsor a speaker, exhibit, or simply attend the event. Organizations can also sponsor scholarships for rural attendees, participant gifts, or a break or meal. Hospital and clinic administrators, healthcare providers, bureaucrats, consultants, public health professionals, and others from across Colorado attend CRHC's events.
