In addition, the CFAO is expected to serve as a senior Foundation ambassador connecting with others in Colorado and beyond including peers in other grantmaking organizations, leaders from civic, business, academic and professional contexts, and others with health or community interests that overlap those of the Foundation.

We work on a hybrid schedule of three days in-office (required and set by CHF) and two days remote. This is an extraordinary opportunity for an individual to have a meaningful impact through their professional contributions.
