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 Alliance 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, classes & workshops, and peer mentorship.

MINDSOURCE seeks to facilitate the acquisition and advancement of new knowledge regarding brain injury, improve the evidence base upon which the care of persons with brain injury is predicated, and encourage the development and growth of the brain injury research field in Colorado.
COMMUNITY GRANTS
MINDSOURCE offers grant opportunities to Colorado organizations and individuals for the promotion of education, awareness, and community projects that offer innovative training approaches to professionals, parents, survivors, families and the general community about brain injury.
