About A BETTER COLORADO FOUNDATION
A Better Colorado Foundation is a veteran-led Colorado nonprofit focused on helping veterans with PTSD regain independence and stability by funding, training, and pairing certified service dogs.
The foundation operates primarily by producing community fundraising events and partnerships with local animal and veteran service organizations to identify, train, and place dogs with veterans.
Founded recently (organized operations beginning in 2023), the organization emphasizes local partnerships, transparency, and community-driven fundraising such as annual galas and themed events.
