Sustainability

Medicaid and Other Diversified Funding Sources:

Actively exploring partnerships with healthcare providers, private foundations, and community organizations to diversify funding streams to cover essential costs for program delivery, participant support, and operational expenses.

Cost-Effective Measures:

Implementing cost-effective measures and efficiency strategies, such as optimizing program delivery processes and exploring in-kind contributions.

Community Collaborations:

Fostering collaborations with local businesses and community members to enhance financial stability.

Continuous Monitoring: 

Continuously monitoring and assessing project outcomes, using data-driven insights and success stories to demonstrate effectiveness to stakeholders.

This streamlined approach aligns with Chic's commitment to expanding accessibility and maintaining project effectiveness in the community. Furthermore, Chic has concrete plans to ensure the ongoing success and expansion of our project through the following:

•  Partnerships:

  • Maintain our successful partnership with The Boys and Girls Club of Central Iowa, ensuring continuous program delivery and support for youth in the community.

  • Expand the program to the remaining club sites to reach a broader audience and enhance mental health and well-being.

• School Collaborations:

  • Sustain our commitment to East High School of Des Moines Public Schools; integrating our program to provide valuable resources and support for students.

  • Expand our impact by partnering with the Ankeny Community School District, aligning with our commitment to diverse communities and addressing mental health needs.                                                                                                                               

By building and maintaining strong partnerships, expanding strategically, diversifying funding sources, and engaging the community, Chic Behavioral Health and Community Services ensures the sustained continuation and growth of our impactful project.
