Bush Foundation Community Innovation Grants

Bush Foundation's Community Innovation Grants support communities to use problem-solving processes that lead to more effective, equitable and sustainable solutions. Think of it as civic R&D, allowing communities to develop and test new solutions to community challenges.

Projects must be:

* Inclusive: meaningfully engaging key stakeholders - thoughtfully identifying those needed to create the intended change and, whenever possible, including those directly affected by the problem.
* Collaborative: with partners willing to change to be more effective together
* Resourceful: making the most of existing community strengths and resources

Is the process likely to lead to a community innovation - a breakthrough in addressing a community need that is more effective, equitable or sustainable than existing approaches?

The Bush Foundations is accepting applications now through October 9.
Visit bushfoundation.org for more info.

Have an idea you'd like to consider applying for? Please contact Jay Peterson, Associate Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations at: petersj4@augsburg.edu.
