• System innovation collaborations/network of partners for collective change efforts.  

• Scaling a system innovation that has been successfully demonstrating social change, relevant to the grant priority area(s), over the past 1-3 years.  

• Economic inclusion and employment opportunities for people facing individual and systemic barriers to employment and economic participation, with a priority focus on G21 region areas with the highest levels of high unemployment, under-employment and/or low participation rates and areas with high and persistent socio-economic disadvantage (currently Norlane, Corio and Whittington).
