Description
Amendment 35 funding opportunities bring together three public health grant programs administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: the Cancer, Cardiovascular, and Chronic Pulmonary Disease (CCPD) Grant Program; the Health Disparities Grant Program; and the Tobacco Education, Prevention, and Cessation Grant Program. These programs share a funding source—state tobacco tax revenue—and address distinct public health priorities.
Colorado voters approved Amendment 35 in 2004, increasing taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products. The revenue was designated for health care services and tobacco education to improve Coloradans’ health. The grant programs operate on three-year funding cycles aligned with Colorado’s fiscal year. Tobacco funding opportunities include community and treatment interventions, technical assistance, local public health initiatives, and cessation services for pregnant Coloradans.
