Replication Guidebooks
Replication Guidebooks detailing how to establish and operate
each of VHCF's Models That Made It can be downloaded below
and also are available by contacting VHCF.
Prior to applying for funds to replicate one of these models, first, review the guidebook for that particular model's approach. Next, contact the model directly to arrange for a site visit and learn first-hand about their experiences.
As with all proposals submitted to VHCF, when applying for funds to replicate one of the Models That Made It, it will be important for you to demonstrate that essential project elements have been well thought-out and that community support is in place.
