The Institute was established through three equal grants totaling $5,700,000 from Caring for Colorado Foundation, The Colorado Trust, and Rose Community Foundation. These foundations and The Colorado Health Foundation (collectively, the Four Foundations) continue to provide funding for future operations. The Institute is publicly supported under the following facts and circumstances: 1) Public Support is well in excess of 10 percent? The Institute has had more than 33 1/3% public support since inception until 2011 when the public support percentage was 27.17%, 2012 the percentage was 21.82%, 2013 the percentage was 15.51%, 2014 the percentage was 15.45%, and the 2015 percentage was 15.82%.2) Support is received from a representative number of persons rather than from members of a single family? The Institute receives a majority of its grant support primarily from four foundations (the "four foundations") in Denver, though these foundations support organizations throughout Colorado. One of these foundations is a public foundation, and the other three are private foundations. Other funding is received from contracts. Some of these contracts are from the "four foundations". However, in 2015, the Institute had contract work with twenty-three other entities, four of those being with the State of Colorado, and the remaining contracts being largely with other not-for-profit organizations.3) Is the governing body representative of the broad interests of the public? In 2015, the Institute's board of trustees was made up of eight trustees that represent experts in the field of health as well as community leaders. Six of the eight trustees have no affiliation to the private foundations that provide the Institute support. 4) The facilities of the organization are available to the public on a continuing basis? The Institute provides continuous health data and research at no charge to the public through its website, and also through many projects in collaboration with the State of Colorado and other stakeholders in the public health arena. Additionally, CHI allows other health organizations meeting space at no charge and often host gatherings with many public stakeholders.5) Is the organization an educational one or a research institution that regularly publishes scholarly journals? The Institute's purpose is to provide health education and research, much of which is disseminated through their own website. In 2015, CHI responded to 771 information requests from the public and gave 157 public presentations. 6) Do members of the public with special knowledge or expertise, public officials or civic or community leaders, participate in, or sponsor, programs of the organization? The Institute's programs provide evidence-based analysis and expertise on health care policy to legislators and policymakers, leading health organizations as well as health foundations in the State of Colorado. These stakeholders provide their support to the Institute through grants, contracts, and representation on the board of directors.7) Does the organization maintain a definitive program to accomplish its charitable work in the community? The Institute's programs support its vision of improving the health of all Coloradans by supporting health policy discussions with evidence-based analysis and expertise.8) Does the organization receive a significant part of its funds from a public charity or a governmental agency to which it is in some way accountable? As noted above, the Institute received support in the form of a grant from one public foundation and contracts from the State of Colorado and other not-for-profit organizations.9) The Institute is not a membership organization.
