Your Gift Today Changes Everything

Right now, you have the power to change the story for a neighbor, a family, a child. 

When you give to CAA Health, you do more than make a donation
—you create health, hope, and opportunity where it’s needed most.

Because of you, a grandmother gains access to trusted screenings. 

Because of you, a teenager struggling with mental health finds someone who listens and understands. 

Because of you, families who have been left out of the healthcare system finally receive care that respects their culture, their dignity, and their dreams.

Your generosity is more than charity—it is equity in action. It is healing in motion. It is the bridge that turns barriers into opportunities and ensures that the Black community in Denver can thrive in mind, body, and spirit.

Every dollar you share brings real change:

$50 | provides mental health resources for a young person seeking support.
$100 | helps a family receive culturally grounded health screenings.
$250 | fuels community wellness workshops that uplift and educate.
$500 | sustains advocacy efforts to break down systemic barriers to care.
$1,000 | empowers whole-person health programs that transform lives across generations.

This is your moment to step forward, to fuel change, to be the reason someone knows they are seen, valued, and cared for. 
Together, we can build a healthier, more just future—but it starts with you.

Background Statement

The Center for African-American Health (CAA Health) was established in 2005. CAA Health evolved from the health programming of the Metro Denver Black Church Initiative, established in 1996, which for more than a decade collaborated with black churches to offer health programs throughout the Black/African American community, as well as programs for youth in high risk situations, academically struggling students, and formerly incarcerated individuals.

The Center for African American Health focuses on improving the health and well-being of Black/African Americans because they suffer from much higher rates of illness, disability and premature death from diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease due to persistent racial inequities. To change that, CAA Health provides a variety of disease prevention and chronic disease self-management programs targeting the approximately 300,000 Blacks/African Americans living in Colorado.

CAA Health's Northeast Park Hill neighborhood community hub is the center for its collaborations with a wide range of community organizations to offer a host of evidence-based health education and health promotion programs. Volunteers -- medical and non-medical -- are an integral part of the organization and assist in the delivery of the programs and services throughout the year.

The Center for African American Health is also active in bringing about systemic change through coalition building, advocating for system reforms through public policy focused on disease prevention and reducing health disparities for the Black/African American community.
