Community Clinics Initiatives
A joint project of Tides and The California Endowment
1999-2006
Here’s how CCI describes the report:
“An important aspect of CCI has been its commitment to learning, reflection, and transparency. In that spirit, this document contains three important pieces. The first is a reflections piece by Kendall Guthrie and her colleagues, our evaluation team from Blueprint Research and Design, synthesizing the rich data Blueprint has collected over these past six years and articulating the concrete changes that have resulted in clinics from CCI investments.
We also asked our colleague Tom David to draft the enclosed ‘Lessons from CCI’s IT Grantmaking’ in order to help others learn from our experience. We see this piece as a continuing contribution to the thinking about health-related grantmaking, and a contribution to the larger philanthropic community that continues to question and evolve an approach to the craft of grantmaking that is relevant, responsive, and uses always-limited resources in ways that make a difference in the lives of people and in communities.
Third, the voices of clinics themselves are found in the middle of this book, sharing the stories of their experiences and some of the challenges they have faced as a result of this program. “
