Do you have a project that needs some support to take it to the next level?
Individuals and teams can apply to Springboard for 12 months of tailored incubation support. This may include strategic coaching, project planning, implementation support, early-stage resources, and assistance in pursuing funding or partnerships.
Selected applicants will be invited to present their idea at Pitch Day on October 29, 2025. Winning proposals will receive tailored incubation services. Projects should have the potential for broader impact and benefit from hands-on support to move from idea to implementation, or from early implementation to scale.
Whether you’re creating a tech-driven solution to reduce health disparities, reimagining HIV prevention, scaling a community-rooted idea, or launching something entirely new, we want to hear from you.
