INNOVATION HUB

This opportunity is open to all organizations/agencies/institutions interested in replicating an Innovation Hub practice.  We greatly value community partnerships, and our ideal applicant would have strong relationships with the communities they serve. Groups that would be a good fit for this opportunity include, but are not limited to, community-based/-rooted organizations, tribal governments, or Title V programs with strong relationships with these entities. For the purposes of this opportunity, AMCHP defines community-based organizations (CBOs) as a public or private non-profit organization, or other organizations such as an LLC (limited liability company) that is representative of a community or a significant segment of a community and works to meet community needs.  

In alignment with AMCHP’s Joint Organizational Commitment to Anti-Racism and Racial Equity, we are prioritizing organizations led by or directly supporting Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities; others experiencing systemic oppression including but not limited to the disability community, the LGBTQI+ community, etc.; or those representing groups that have been historically oppressed.
