GUIDELINES FOR EVENT OR PROGRAM SPONSORSHIP REQUESTS

bi3 is Bethesda Inc.’s grantmaking initiative to transform health in Greater Cincinnati. bi3 concentrates its resources to fund innovative ideas with the ability to spark and scale new approaches to improve community health and healthcare.

As a result, bi3 sponsors events, conferences, training programs and similar activities on a very limited basis. Due to the large number of requests for sponsorships we receive each year, bi3 will give priority to the following:

• Promotes one of our focus areas: Maternal and infant health; behavioral health; health equity and social determinants of health.
• Organized by a current grantee of bi3 or an organization in which bi3 or Bethesda Inc., or member of its Board, is a member.
• Located in and benefits the residents of Greater Cincinnati.
• Programs offering a wide range of long-term, comprehensive training to equip participants with skills and strategies.

bi3 does not accept requests from individuals or for-profit businesses.
