Take a look at our impact, Hcis

Hcis,

Want to hear something amazing? In just the last 3 months, we've had 838 impactful moments through our National Help Line! For the year, the Help Line has provided support to over 1,900 individuals and families!

We are humbled by the number of people we've been able to help. Everybody needs someone to talk to at some point in life, especially when looking for resources, support services, or local information about autism. The Autism Society Help Line will listen, guide, and support without any judgment, 5 days a week.

Our work is only possible because of the generosity of grassroots supporters like you! Will you chip in any amount you can to help us continue this important work? 

YES, I'LL CHIP IN!

Earlier in the month, we asked what you thought we could be doing better. After all, we're a service-based organization and it's important to better understand the needs of the communities we're serving.

We'll be in touch with specific results soon, but make no mistake: your input makes us better today than we were yesterday, and we'll be even better tomorrow -- so thanks for the feedback!

Your feedback makes another thing clear: If we're going to support a vibrant community of professionals, family members, local affiliates, and our brothers and sisters on the spectrum, then we need to have the resources. That's why we're asking for your help, Hcis. Can you chip in $25 today to help us scale up our efforts and provide the service our community deserves?

We appreciate all your help!

Thank you,

Your friends at the Autism Society.

Innovation + Impact E-newsletter June 2019

Join Global Health on Follow CII on JUNE 2019 FEATURE   INNOVATION REALIZED: EXPANDING THE PATH TO HEALTH IMPACT Introducing USAID CII's Innovation Realized: Expanding the Path to Health Impact. This guide builds on successes and lays out practical ways that USAID staff can identify opportunities to apply innovation to solve real problems in the context of how we work, as well as to further innovation across the Agency. Though this guide is primarily intended for USAID staff, it can serve as an adaptable resource for other organizations. Innovation Realized: 1) defines innovation and dispels common myths; 2) presents a case for innovation in global health at USAID; 3) provides common innovation opportunities; and 4) shares examples and resources to start the innovation process. This resource has been co-developed with input from colleagues in the field and across health offices, capturing best practices and examples of innovation in global health.  Read the guide.  INNOVATIVE FINANCING New Partnership: Financing for MOMs CII helped convene a $50 million partnership between Merck for Mothers, OPIC, Credit Suisse and USAID called the Financing for MOMs (Maternal Outcomes Matters) Alliance, which was announced at the Women Deliver conference on Tuesday, June 4th. The Alliance aims to mobilize private capital to improve maternal and child health by strengthening and expanding infrastructure, services, and access to care in Sub-Saharan Africa. USAID will be providing technical assistance as its contribution. The collaboration will help more women receive high quality care to ensure a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery, and lay the foundation for lifelong good health. Read the press release.  EVENTS Unlocking Private Capital to Achieve Impact in Global Health USAID CII and the UBS Optimus Foundation co-hosted an event at UBS Offices in New York City for a conversation with key stakeholders on best practices in innovative financing for global health and development. The panel of experts discussed the role of private capital and impact investing in development, provided examples of how these approaches are being applied currently, and looked to the future to see what new innovative financing approaches are being considered to achieve development goals. Amy Lin and Omer Imtiazuddin from CII highlighted USAID's Private Sector Engagement Strategy as well as the recently launched CII report: Unleashing Private Capital for Global Health Innovation: Innovator and Investor Support Opportunities.     PARTNERSHIPS Project Last Mile 2019 Impact Report Project Last Mile (PLM) just released their 2019 impact report.
