Innovative Small Grants Program
This program allows the generosity of donors to
have a broad geographic impact in a spectrum
of health-related areas. With the administrative
oversight of the Child Health Foundation Board,
each grant of up to $5,000 is directed to
innovative research or service projects aimed
at improving the health of infants and children.
In many economies, these grants help adapt
new biomedical and social technologies to local
situations. Organizations, health workers and
investigators, located either in the U.S. or
abroad, are invited to apply for these grants
using guidelines posted on our website.
