Grant Program for Chapter Innovation
This program was developed to foster chapter innovation in the development and delivery of new programs, products and services or new methods of delivery that add value for affiliates by funding demonstration or pilot projects that can be replicated by other chapters.
In December each year, ACHE awards a limited number of chapter innovation grants to chapters to conduct new and innovative projects designed to enhance value for ACHE affiliates. These are based on proposals submitted by the chapters.
The chapters awarded grants are expected to complete their project by September each year; provide a written report on the project within 30 days of completion; and give a presentation on the project at the Chapter Leaders Conference.
