Update from the Hemophilia Alliance Foundation
Congratulations to our 2021 “Innovation Grant” recipients!
Thank you to all of the organizations that applied for the Hemophilia Alliance Foundation’s 2021 Innovation Grant (formerly known as the “Large Grant”). In total, we received nine highly competitive applications for this $50,000 grant, which focuses on high-impact, innovative projects for the inheritable blood disorders community. We are proud to announce the two recipients of the 2021 Innovation Grant: Hemophilia of North Carolina, and the Hemophilia Federation of America!
Website update
The Hemophilia Alliance Foundation has completed a long-awaited update of its website! We have the same URL (https://hemophiliaalliancefoundation.org), and our hope is that the new website will be easier to navigate for applicants and grant recipients. A few new features include:
- Examples of successful grant applications to help you submit a competitive application
- Separate links for our two grant mechanisms: the “Project/Patient Assistance Grant” (a.k.a. our “normal” grant cycle, with limits of $8,000/$10,000; available ~Dec 2021) and the “Innovation Grant” (formerly known as the “Large Grant”, with a limit of $50,000; 2022 availability TBA)
- Snapshots of how we have been giving back to the community
- Who we are!
We would love to hear the community’s feedback on our new website! Please contact Grant Hiura, Secretary, at grant.hiura@hemophiliaalliancefoundation.org if you have any comments/suggestions. Thank you!
