Now Open: Nominate an Organization for Mental Health Colorado’s 43rd Annual Tribute Awards

Mental Health Colorado is now accepting nominations for awards to be presented at our 43rd Annual Tribute Fundraising Gala on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Ritz-Carlton Denver.

These awards recognize businesses and organizations across Colorado that are promoting healthier minds across the lifespan for all Coloradans. From strengthening children and families to advancing wellness in aging, reducing harm from substance use, and shifting systems toward care, awardees reflect meaningful impact in communities statewide.

We invite you to nominate an organization—your own or a partner—whose work demonstrates leadership and measurable impact in one of the following areas:

  • Children & Families Impact Award: Honors a business or organization demonstrating leadership in advancing equitable, family-centered supports that promote early intervention, healthy development, and long-term well-being for children and families across Colorado.
  • Wellness in Aging Impact Award: Recognizes a business or organization improving the mental, physical, and social well-being of older adults by expanding access to age-friendly care, housing stability, caregiver support, and community connection in Colorado.
  • Decriminalizing Health Conditions Award: Honors a business or organization transforming systems that criminalize mental health conditions by advancing care-centered responses, diversion, and policies that prioritize healthcare, housing, and community well-being.
  • Harm Reduction Impact Award: Recognizes a business or organization advancing evidence-based harm reduction approaches that reduce substance-related harms, expand access to lifesaving services, and uphold health and dignity.

Every category deserves recognition, and your nomination helps ensure that impactful work is seen, elevated, and shared across Colorado.
