Earlier this year, we announced our Seed Grant Program to help fund members of our IIN community in their initiatives to make a positive impact on the lives of others. We had a tremendous response, and it just goes to show that our community is truly creating a ripple effect that is changing the world!

We were so impressed by the creativity and variety of projects that were submitted to the program. We finally narrowed it down to six amazing recipients. From helping underprivileged youth and the special needs community to assisting busy families, these projects are sure to spread health and happiness.

Here are the projects that our seed grant recipients are launching to create a healthier world:

Alissa Bilfield
