2019 Colorado’s Health Equity Advocacy Ecosystem Survey Report

Innovation Network is the learning partner to the Colorado Health Foundation’s Amplifying Advocacy Initiative, which seeks to support an equitable and representative advocacy ecosystem to advance health and health equity in Colorado. We conducted a survey of advocacy organizations throughout Colorado in the Fall of 2019 to begin to build out an information base about the health equity advocacy ecosystem, including: who advocates seek to serve and/or represent, who is represented and informs decisions within organizations, how advocates do their work, and what partnerships look like within the network. The purpose of this effort is to help the Foundation better support diverse advocates, as well as to share information back to advocates and other funders about this shared landscape.
