IFI Cohort Journey

Nonprofit and faith-based organizations begin by applying to join the Innovating Forward Initiative (IFI) Cohort. During six weeks of evidence-informed training, participants strengthen their capacity to integrate faith and mental health while developing a community-based project proposal.

Upon successful completion of the cohort, organizations become eligible to apply for the IFI Seed Grant Program. Selected organizations receive funding and ongoing support to implement their initiatives and create lasting impact in their communities.

Over the past five years, IFI has trained 65 nonprofit organizations, awarded 48 seed grants, and supported communities across 25 states.
