Posted 4/26/11

The Colorado Trust is requesting Letters of Qualification in a competitive process to engage a firm or professionals to provide a combination of paid advertising, branding and mobilization services for its grant strategy to build public will to help achieve access to health.

Through this grant strategy, 14 partner organizations across Colorado are being funded by The Colorado Trust, with additional support from the Colorado Health Foundation. These grantees, and their partners, are conducting a combination of communications, advocacy, leadership, media and network-building efforts over a three-year period to help increase awareness, understanding and support to expand health coverage and to improve the health care system for Coloradans. All grantees are using a shared message framework that was developed based on Colorado-specific opinion research. To reinforce, strengthen and build upon the grassroots efforts of grantees to engage key audiences and deliver highly targeted messages, The Colorado Trust will support the development and implementation of an overarching paid media, branding and mobilization strategy.

The Request for Qualifications provides more detailed background information about the grantees and funding strategy, as well as the application process, timeline and requirements.
