CORPORATE INNOVATION REIMAGINED

The Alliance Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Innovation Initiative (i2) is a groundbreaking $1 million challenge grant that involves a 12-month entrepreneurial education and personalized mentoring program in collaboration with Nex Cubed. After careful consideration, AHF made a historic decision to enhance its investment for the 2022 i2 Challenge by awarding two $1 million milestone-based grants to both Project New Village and Urban Restoration Counseling Center, both San Diego-based organizations.

The i2 Challenge has had a transformative impact on the systemically marginalized and under-resourced populations in San Diego and/or Imperial counties. Through the program's executive director, innovation partner, grant winners, and resident leaders, a video is available to explore the profound changes brought about by the i2 Challenge.

The Innovation Partner, Nex Cubed, played a crucial role in this success story by collaborating with AHF to offer personalized coaching and mentorship to i2 finalists. Their support enabled the finalists to enhance their business models, make significant progress in implementing their solutions, and refine their presentations for funding.
