Ignite Community Innovation Challenge announced
The Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines is inviting local nonprofit organizations to rethink, reframe and reimagine how they carry out their missions through the Ignite Community Innovation Challenge. The challenge is a grant award, made possible through investments by several businesses, with a top prize of $30,000. All prizes awarded will be used to “ignite” the innovative idea and propel it forward. Submissions for the Ignite Community Innovation Challenge are being accepted now through Oct. 15. Ideas should be clear and innovative, create enhancements in practices, create a stronger focus on mission for the organization, have a viable chance of success and provide approaches that could be applicable to other organizations resulting in industry best practices. Two training sessions will be held on Sept. 21 to assist nonprofits in developing their ideas. Visit the Community Foundation’s websiteto learn more.
