COLORADO BRAIN INJURY TRUST FUND BOARD AND REPORTS

 

COLORADO BRAIN INJURY TRUST FUND

The Colorado Brain Injury Trust Fund was created by Title 26, Article 1, Part 3 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, to improve the lives of Colorado residents who have survived brain injuries. The statute codifies the program and authorizes funding three funding categories in addition to program administration: client services, education, and research.

The Board is administered by the MINDSOURCE Brain Injury Network within the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). Three board members are designated in statute, and ten members are appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. The Board holds Task Force groups to do a deeper dive on board work in between meetings.

The Colorado Brain Injury Trust Fund receives revenue from surcharges assessed for convictions of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI), driving while ability is impaired (DWAI), speeding, and riding a motorcycle or motorized bicycle without a helmet (for youth under the age of 18).

In addition, the Colorado Brain Injury Trust Fund can receive donations. If you are interested in donating to the Trust Fund, please reach out to cdhs_mindsource@state.co.us.

CLIENT SERVICES

As defined in statute, a minimum of 55% of the Trust Fund expenditures are required to pay for client services. Those client services must provide service coordination and skills training for people with brain injuries.

MINDSOURCE contracts with the Brain Injury Association of Colorado to provide client services to survivors, their loved ones, and the professionals who support them. Client services are provided across the state and include Resource Facilitation, Skill Development, and classes & workshops.
