Individual Financial Assistance
Northwest Colorado Health is dedicated to ensuring every individual has an opportunity to achieve their best health possible. We believe that good health is not limited to a doctor’s office. Individuals in our communities often have needs beyond what we can provide through our service lines, and those needs affect their ability to live a healthy life. The Angel Fund provides financial assistance to help individuals with health related needs so that they can achieve their best health.
Donate to the Angel Fund and help a friend, family member, or neighbor in need.
Funding Request Guidelines
-
The Angel Fund is designed to provide rapid help for defined medical and healthcare related needs for people residing within Moffat, Routt and Grand County.
-
Only applications with a referring agent such as a partner non-profit or government organization will be accepted. Individuals cannot apply for funds on their own behalf.
-
Requests must NOT have an other identifiable source of funding (e.g. insurance, other assistance programs, or non-profit organization that fills that specific need).
-
Requests should fulfill a one-time need, not recurrent expenses. Individuals can only receive assistance from Individual Assistance Funding once annually unless extenuating circumstances exist.
-
Decisions about fund requests are contingent upon funding criteria and the availability of funds at the time of review. Occasionally we will ask for additional information before making a decision
-
Funds will be disbursed to the service provider directly (e.g. vendor, landlord, etc.) or issue a gift card when appropriate.
-
Funds should be used for upcoming expenses and not outstanding bills when possible.
