Small Grants to Enhance CCIH Member Capacity

CCIH awards small grants to its members to build their capacity and support their health programs, as funds are available. CCIH Small Grants have helped members improve facilities, assess and strengthen internal capacity, evaluate integration of faith in their work, and more. Some examples include:

  • Supporting the Association Évangélique pour la Santé au Tchad (AEST) to enhance its communications capacity, raising awareness in the community and nationwide of its health services. Read the story
  • Assisting the Zimbabwe Association of Church-related Hospitals as it strengthened its leadership, governance, and management capacity. Read the story
  • Helping AMOS Health and Hope in Nicaragua promote family planning methods in six communities to improve maternal health and reduce the risk of complications during high-risk pregnancies. Read the story

Program Eligibility

CCIH grant recipients must meet the following requirements:

  • CCIH organizational member
  • Application turned in on time with all information completed

Requirements and Limitations

These grants require simple end-of-project reporting. Reporting is for your benefit broadly and is not meant to be intrusive or onerous. This will also help us to raise visibility for your work with decision makers, help CCIH advocate for your work, and help others know what you are trying to do so they can help. Examples of reporting methods include:

  • Photos or Videos (with consent forms from photo subjects)
  • Blog Post
  • Participation in an annual virtual webinar or forum discussion
  • End-of-project narrative report and After Action Review (AAR) virtual discussion

CCIH is not currently accepting applications for new Small Grants. Check back for updates on the next application period.
