The Colorado Respite Care Program periodically awards Community Grants to qualified for-profit, nonprofit agencies or governmental entities currently providing respite services.
This program is an effort to respond to the respite care needs of Colorado's family caregivers of individuals with special needs, chronic conditions, older adults, foster children and kinship relations and more.
Organizations will be awarded funds to support families in need of respite care. Community Grant RFP's are typically released in late summer/early fall and are distributed annually.
