The Social Innovation awards grants to grantmaking institutions, referred to as “intermediaries.” These intermediaries in turn competitively select, provide grants to, and otherwise support high-performing community-based nonprofit organizations to implement evidence-based programs in the areas of healthy futures, economic opportunity and youth development. The intermediaries and the nonprofits must match the grant funds they receive one-to-one in cash from non-federal sources.

Experience grantmaking institutions that invests in nonprofit community organizations or programs through grants as an essential rather than collateral means of fulfilling its mission and vision OR eligible partnerships between such institutions and (1) an additional grantmaking institution, (2) a State Commission on National and Community Service, or (3) a chief executive officer of a unit of general local government.
