Based on the thesis that innovation capital (“venture philanthropy”) is needed to transform the current health paradigm (high cost and poor outcomes) for the most vulnerable populations.

Innovation Initiative (i2) $1 Million Challenge Grant
With the i2 Challenge Grant, we seek promising innovation to transform the current health paradigm of high cost and poor outcomes to improve quality, increase capacity, and reduce costs for the most vulnerable populations in San Diego and/or Imperial counties. The i2 Challenge Grant represents a 12-month demonstration and workshop cycle that allows eligible i2 applicants to hone their business plan and grant proposal with the aid of experts provided by Alliance and our Innovation Partners. The 12-months also allows our Program and Evaluation Committees time to get to know the finalists and develop a deeper understanding of their innovation solution.

2022 i2 applications are closed.
