Seed money is available for purposes or projects whose intent matches CRHC's mission: enhancing healthcare services in Colorado by providing information, education, linkages, tools & energy toward addressing rural healthcare issues. As you can imagine, there is a great deal of flexibility within this criterion. Applicants are welcome to contact CRHC to see if an idea meets the general intent of this program before filing out the application form.

Amounts
The maximum amount of an award is $1,000. Smaller requests are encouraged. A member can only receive one grant per calendar year.

Eligibility

• Applicants must be rural; “rural,” for this program is defined as outside one of Colorado’s 25 metropolitan counties
• Applicants must be CRHC members

Expectations
These funds are intended as "seed" money and should be only a portion of a larger project or idea. Please provide the total estimated cost of your project in your application and the percentage the seed grant will cover (i.e.: the seed money pays a workshop registration fee and the agency covers travel costs; the seed money pays for a FAX machine and the agency covers the phone line costs; the seed money buys a single piece of equipment for a new clinic or ambulance).

Application Process
Please print the one-page application form and submit it to CRHC. Applications will be accepted and reviewed quarterly. To be included in the next review, applications must be received by June 15, 2012..
