Funding Source:         The California Endowment
Title:                            Innovative Ideas Challenge (IIC)
Program:                     The IIC is a new grant-making program available to organizations from communities not funded under the Building Healthy Communities plan. We're seeking to fund innovative ideas to address the persistent and emerging health issues that impact underserved communities in California. Specifically, IIC seeks to identify and fund promising practices that are aligned with the 10 outcomes or 4 big results from the Building Healthy Communities plan.
The objectives of IIC are:
            Engage a broad set of innovation partners to develop and test effective models developed by affected communities.
            Establish a pool of original ideas that will "dramatically improve" the health status of underserved individuals and communities in California.
            Support innovators who can rapidly engage in work that will promote fundamental health improvements in the health status of all Californians. This can be through new ventures or expansions of already existing efforts. Special attention will be paid to proposals that are public/private partnerships.
Deadline:                    September 1, 2012
