The course is free to providers connected with HTCs and CME credits will be earned by participants. For more information on the course and to register for the course check out this link.
The Hemophilia Alliance Foundation is excited to offer its 4th annual funding opportunity for the Innovation Grant. This funding will allow an organization to fund a larger-scope project than what they are able to do with current HAF smaller grants.
This is a one-year grant with projects to be completed within the grant year which runs between September 1, 2023 and August 31st, 2024.
The goal of the Innovation Grant is to encourage larger scale, unique, and innovative projects that will serve the community with resources that will improve the lives of patients with inherited bleeding and thrombotic disorders.
To be eligible the applicant organization must serve persons with heritable bleeding and thrombotic disorders and operate under IRS tax exemption 501(c)(3) or 170(c)(1) or other nonprofit status. Eligible organizations would include:
The maximum amount per grant request is $50,000. Projects should demonstrate clear and measurable outcomes.
Priority for funding will be given to new projects aimed at expansion of capacity, collaboration (between two or more organizations), and innovation.
Organizations interested in submitting applications should review the 2023 Grant Guidance thoroughly before finalizing their applications. To see our Grant Guidance and to apply online, visit our website at: https://hemophiliaalliancefoundation.org/grant-information
The deadline for application submission is July 18th, 2023. Applications must be submitted directly on the Hemophilia Alliance Foundation website.
