AlertNet AidWatch - Humanitarian Innovation Fund - Call for Proposals now open

By Josh Harris | Wed., February 16, 6:14 PM | Comments ( 1 )

The Humanitarian Innovation Fund supports organisations and individuals to identify, nurture and share innovative solutions to the challenges facing operational agencies in the delivery of effective humanitarian aid.

We are pleased to announce the first call for proposals for the Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF). The HIF provides funding through two types of grants; small grants (up to £20,000) and large grants (up to £150,000).

Jess Camburn, ELRHA Director, said:
“We are delighted to be launching today our first call for proposals for the humanitarian Innovation Fund. There is a great deal of excitement amongst all of us that have been involved in the development of this important new fund as we believe innovation has the potential to stimulate dramatic change through new and improved ways of delivering assistance to those who need it most. We look forward to hearing the great ideas out there and supporting them to get to the next stage.”

For full details of the Fund and the call, please visit www.humanitarianinnovation.org. The HIF team will be answering questions in a live Q&A session on the website on Thursday 17th February 2011, 14:00 - 16:00 GMT, so join us there.
