Innovative Approaches grants are for the developing and testing of new approaches that are rooted in a well-researched and reasonable theory of change. The proposed approach should clearly contribute to the mission of the applying organization and should include an evaluation component that will allow comparisons between the new approach and existing approaches to the same opportunity or challenge. The proposed approach does not require evidence of past success. Please note: if your organization seeks support for the implementation of a program or project that does have evidence of past success, you should complete a Project Support  grant application.
