Alliance Healthcare Foundation (AHF) seeks innovative solutions that significantly and positively impact health and wellness issues through systems change.

AHF developed the Innovation Initiative (i2) to support transformational thinking and action to improve systems related to health and wellness. AHF is interested in innovative solutions that address healthcare access issues, that reach the target populations, and that use innovation effectively and in ways that reduce costs, increase capacity, or improve quality.

The 2016 i2 application cycle launched April 6 with the iEngageU Funding Innovation Forum. Applications were then accepted until May 11. Finalists will be selected in May/June, then AHF will host PitchFest in mid-July, where the i2 awardee will be selected.

The Innovation Initiative is one of AHF’s three funding programs. In 2015, AHF awarded $3,309,431 through the Mission Support Grants, the Innovation Initiative, and Responsive Grants, an increase from 2014’s $2,989,899 and 2013’s $2,330,396.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkPx2I0WjNs” align=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeowsqJdmNA”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”left-to-right”]
