A Peek into Phase Three
Action through Grants

Review of the Insights Report developed from the data collected in Phase Two
Incorporation of your knowledge of needs and insights of children/families gained through previous learning to propose a program or service to improve well-being
Grant applications informed by needs emerging from the Insights Report
Your organization does not have to participate in Phase Two to be eligible for Phase Three. Only Phase One human-centered design training is required for eligibility. Additionally, the level of participation an agency selects for Phase Two does not provide a greater chance of successfully receiving a grant in Phase Three.
