Colorado Cancer Coalition

What Colorado Cancer Coalition does

The Colorado Cancer Coalition (CCC) is a statewide, nonpartisan, non-profit collaborative operated as a program of Trailhead Institute in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CCCP). Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, CCC convenes survivors, caregivers, health professionals, researchers, advocates, and community organizations to advance cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, survivorship, and palliative care across the state. Its core operating model consists of ten volunteer-led Task Forces covering Breast Cancer, Cancer Health Equity, Colorectal Cancer, HPV Vaccination, Lung Cancer, Patient Navigation, Pediatric/AYA, Skin Cancer, Survivorship & Palliative Care, and Latino Cancer, which collectively implement the coalition's 2026-2030 Colorado Cancer Plan.

The coalition's "products" are programmatic rather than commercial: the 2026-2030 Colorado Cancer Plan (an eight-goal statewide roadmap), a Colorado Cancer Resources Map (interactive resource directory), site-specific cancer resource hubs, a Spanish-language emotional support group, a monthly newsletter, and an event calendar distributed through partner health systems. It does not operate proprietary technology platforms; its digital footprint is a WordPress-based website, email newsletter, and social channels. CCC has 1-10 employees (Trailhead Institute staff operating the program) and a distributed volunteer governance structure with co-chairs from the American Cancer Society and CDPHE.

CCC's revenue model is donation-based: voluntary Colorado state income tax check-off contributions to the Colorado Cancer Fund (described as the largest funding source), PayPal individual donations, customized corporate sponsorships for events and task force projects, and a donation-based membership structure (with Task Force Chair membership offered at no cost). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The coalition serves Colorado exclusively and works closely with major in-state healthcare systems (CommonSpirit, UCHealth, Kaiser Permanente), academic partners (University of Colorado Anschutz, National Jewish Health, Colorado School of Public Health), and national advocacy bodies (American Cancer Society, American Lung Association).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• California Dialogue on Cancer: Statewide cancer coalition convened under California's Comprehensive Cancer Control Program. Closest structural peer to CCC — both are state-level coalitions implementing a state cancer plan — but California Dialogue serves a much larger and more diverse population.
• Prevent Cancer Foundation: National nonprofit focused on cancer prevention and early detection through research, education, and community outreach. Directly comparable to CCC's prevention, screening, and health equity mission, but operating at a national scale with a broader funding base.
• Cancer Support Community: National nonprofit providing social and emotional support, education, and navigation services to cancer patients and caregivers. Directly comparable to CCC's patient/caregiver resource hub, support groups, and Survivorship task force activities.
• Livestrong Foundation: Cancer-focused nonprofit emphasizing survivorship, patient navigation, and quality-of-life support. Comparable to CCC's Survivorship & Palliative Care and Patient Navigation task forces in mission and target population.
• ZERO Prostate Cancer: Disease-specific nonprofit focused on prostate cancer education, advocacy, and patient support. Comparable as another cancer-site-focused nonprofit operating with task-force-like program structure and similar advocacy-and-resource model to CCC.
• C-Change (National Cancer Control Partners): National coalition of cancer-related organizations collaborating on cancer control priorities. Directly comparable to CCC as a coalition-of-organizations model, though operating at the national level rather than a single state.
• Susan G. Komen: Disease-specific nonprofit focused on breast cancer research, advocacy, and patient support. Comparable to CCC's Breast Cancer Task Force and survivorship mission; Komen is significantly larger and nationally branded.

Broad incumbents

• American Lung Association: National health organization focused on lung health, including lung cancer screening and prevention. Directly comparable via CCC's Lung Cancer Task Force partnership; operates at a national scale with broader lung-health mandate beyond cancer.
• American Cancer Society: The largest U.S. nonprofit dedicated to cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient support. Directly comparable because ACS co-chairs CCC and participates in multiple task forces; however, ACS operates nationally across all cancer types and substantially larger funding and infrastructure.

Emerging players

• George Washington University Cancer Center (Cancer Control Continuum): Academic cancer center with strong focus on community-based cancer control, health equity, and statewide coalition building. Comparable to CCC through its focus on underserved populations and cancer control across the continuum, though rooted in academic research infrastructure.
