California Endowment Innovative Ideas Challenge
http://www.calendow.org/grants/
The Innovative Ideas Challenge (IIC) is a highly competitive grant-making program available under the Building Healthy Communities strategy. We are seeking to fund ideas that can be classified as disruptive innovations. A disruptive innovation is one that brings to market products and services that are more affordable and, ultimately, higher in quality. It improves a product or service in ways that the market does not expect, typically by being lower priced or being designed for a different set of consumers. We encourage you to read about disruptive innovation if you are unfamiliar with the concept or would like to see examples of how it is radically changing the health sector.
California FreshWorks Fund
http://www.cafreshworks.com/
The California FreshWorks fund is a private-public partnership loan fund that has raised $264 million to invest in bringing grocery stores and other forms of healthy food retailers to underserved communities. The availability of healthy foods where we live has been proven to influence healthier long term eating habits. Investing in underserved communities isn’t just good public policy. It’s good business. If your company is looking to upgrade an existing store to provide healthier offerings, open a healthy food retail outlet, or become a distributor of healthy food, financing is available.
