Organizational Reports
Assessing “Ripple Effects” of the Bright Futures Roadmap
The first Bright Futures Roadmap process evaluation sought to capture the experiences and stories of impact from partners working together on the Roadmap initiatives.
By grouping the impacts, ripples, and stories that partners identified into categories, five key themes of impact emerged. This information will be used as part of the evaluation strategy of the Bright Futures Roadmap collective efforts.
2025 Quarterly Reports
In the third quarter of 2025, TBF and our partners advanced the goals of the Bright Futures Roadmap by supporting families, providers, and systems across our region.
The Q2 report highlights partners’ work to strengthen collaboration, problem-solving, and community engagement in Jefferson, Clear Creek, and Gilpin counties.
In Q1, TBF completed the transition to our new fiscal sponsor, Trailhead Institute; supported preregistration and two matching rounds for Year 3 of UPK; and launched the Community Learning Network.
Early Childhood Community Needs Assessment: Mountain Communities
The Mountain Workgroup is supporting Roadmap efforts in Gilpin and Clear Creek counties to increase equitable access to holistic, high-quality, multi-sector programs for children from prenatal to age 8.
Following a six-month community-driven research process, Triad Bright Futures produced an overview of the state of early childhood in these mountain counties. The report looks at the challenges and opportunities faced by families, and offers next steps and solutions generated by families, local leaders, and community members.
