Volunteers Of America

The Futures Fund Community Health Incubator is a first-of-its-kind entrepreneurship program at Volunteers of America (VOA) to accelerate social enterprises that improve quality, equity, and access to care for Medicaid and at-risk populations. The program includes business training and coaching, as well as grants and potential venture capital investments to help drive projects from ideation to scaling stages. Annual cohorts are comprised of a mix of teams of VOA INTRApreneurs and startup founders of early stage businesses that can improve a community’s social determinants of health. These teams have the opportunity to test, pilot and scale their concepts through collaborations with VOA, one of the largest and most experienced health and housing not-for-profit organizations in the country which serves over 1.5 million individuals each year in over 400 communities. The inaugural launch of the Community Health Incubator is sponsored by the Humana Foundation, which shares the Futures Fund’s vision to support innovative solutions that address social determinants of health. Each Founder team will receive a $25,000 grant, 3 months of industry expert coaching, and the opportunity to partner with VOA across the country to scale products and services. Equity investments up to $200,000 are considered for teams who successfully complete the Incubator and demonstrate growth viability.
