Funding Priorities
Our Goal
Telligen Community Initiative (TCI) is the charitable foundation of Telligen, Inc., a private, nonprofit healthcare intelligence company. Since its inception in 2005, TCI has provided financial grants to support organizations and projects that strive to improve the health of communities Telligen serves.
TCI’s overall goal is to ensure opportunities for health are available and accessible to everyone. The foundation provides funding to health-related projects and organizations in Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma and Colorado.
Our Vision
To empower organizations and citizens to improve their individual and overall community health.
Our Mission
To initiate and support innovative and forward-looking health-related projects aimed at improving physical and social well-being and educational attainment.
Social Determinants of Health – Strengthening Families and Communities
By focusing funding on the social determinants of health and more upstream issues that impact health status, TCI supports efforts to decrease health disparities and improve equity. We have elected to significantly focus our social determinants of health-funding interests around emphasizing the integration of childhood, family and community health in new ways for our foundation.
TCI wants to resource efforts that advance optimal physical, mental and social health and well-being for families, children and youth.
Our Request for Proposals in this priority funding area will identify more specificity on approaches within this priority area that TCI would enjoy supporting.
Health Workforce Development Types of Funding
This is an increasingly pivotal issue, as we need to expose new young people to roles with a livable wage, while also creating and supporting new pathways to health career pursuits.
TCI strives to maintain and advance our current health workforce, while also providing critical resources to support the next generation of health workers of all kinds.
Our Request for Proposals in each of these priority funding areas will identify more specificity on approaches that TCI would enjoy supporting or that other communities have had success in implementing with our funding recently.
