Federal Grant Award Summary

The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment received a $5.69 million Project Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration's Maternal and Child Health Bureau under the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to the States program (CFDA 93.994). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the development and coordination of comprehensive maternal and child health care systems across Colorado, with particular emphasis on vulnerable populations lacking adequate healthcare access. The grant enables the state to deliver preventive and primary care services, reduce infant mortality, prevent diseases, and promote health for mothers, infants, children with special healthcare needs, and low-income families.

As a prime recipient of federal maternal and child health funding, CDPHE will implement state-specific strategies to improve maternal and child health infrastructure, address priority health needs, and develop coordinated care delivery systems. The department's track record managing extensive federal grant portfolios and maintaining significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicles demonstrates its capacity to effectively execute complex public health programs and distribute federal resources to local organizations for community-level maternal and child health interventions.
