We want to thank our current Venn Foundation donors who supported us during our initial Program-Related Investment (PRI) round back in 2018. In the Covid-19 crisis, we have observed an increased interest in using BackpackEMR to support the medical response around the world. For example, Kenya’s Ministry of Health is considering using BackpackEMR to track COVID-19 cases in its health facilities authorized to test the virus. In the United States, BackpackEMR will join a collaboration of disaster response organizations in a FEMA proposal to provide temporary testing clinics. To help us adapt our system for COVID-19 response, Venn has reopened the PRI opportunities to the public.
With Venn’s PRI, the Bush Foundation has agreed to match every donation 2:1 up to $20,000. Additionally, with our Launch MN Innovation Grant, the State of MN will match up to $31,000 on a 2:1 basis, as well. That means a $10,000 donation would equal $22,500 in PRI and grant capital to Binary Bridge.
