Launched in July 2016, the initiative brings together 10 Community Coalitions from across the state to generate community-based advances in behavioral health. The eight- year project represents a new strategic direction for the Endowment and features an investment structure that is innovative in grant making — a learning year, a five-year implementation period, and two years dedicated to the scale and replication of success- ful projects. Having completed the learning year, all 10 coalitions, along with the Medical College of Wisconsin academic partner team, have been approved to move into phase two of the project implementation period, which represents almost $13 million of the total $20 million investment. The 10 coalitions will continue to meet and share knowledge as they implement their plans. The coalitions are formed by multiple nonprofit groups, community organizations, public health officials, American Indian tribal groups and others devoted to improving health.
