The CAFP Foundation is a nonprofit organization providing Family Physicians and their communities with education, resources, and research to advance Family Medicine and to improve the health of the people of Colorado.
We work in two broad areas:
- Supporting the Future of Family Medicine
- Public Health Education
Supporting the Future of Family Medicine
The CAFP Foundation seeks to inspire and engage the next generation of Colorado family physicians.
Attending the Summit gives students and residents the opportunity to attend a special educational track, visit with family physicians from across the state, and see what practicing family medicine in Colorado is all about. If you’d like to sponsor a student to attend the Annual Summit, please click below.
Additionally, we support medical students and family medicine residents in attending events like AAFP’s National Conference. Your generous monthly donation allows us to keep supporting the future of family medicine.

Public Health Education
We are invested in supporting public health education, both for children in school and for adult Coloradans. Learn more about current public health initiatives below.
The Stop & Imagine program was developed as an evolution of the Tar Wars program. Recognizing a need to address both marijuana and tobacco in Colorado, members of the CAFP worked to develop a curriculum that would deliver fact-based and engaging information to 4th and 5th grade students.

Tar Wars is a tobacco cessation program that was co-founded by Colorado family physician Jeff Cain, MD. The program is now housed at the national level within the American Academy of Family Physicians.

The Fit Family Challenge program is designed to integrate healthy living activities and lessons into family physician offices. This innovative, evidence-based program has been piloted in family medicine practices across Colorado. Learn more about the program by clicking on the logo above.
