The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta is offering the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts grant to bolster independent arts organizations with annual operating budgets under $2 million. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to strengthen the arts and cultural landscape within the metro Atlanta community, promoting public access and a breadth of artistic programming. These grants are specifically for general operating support, enabling organizations to enhance public engagement and broaden access to various art forms across the region. The target beneficiaries for this grant are independent arts organizations operating in selected Georgia counties, including Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, and Rockdale, with a primary mission centered on arts or culture. The program aims to increase public engagement in the arts and provide access to diverse artistic experiences, ultimately fostering a more vibrant and culturally rich metro Atlanta. Successful applicants are expected to demonstrate a primary mission in arts and cultural services, a history of vibrant programming, and strong organizational capacity. Priority consideration for 2024 support is given to organizations in alignment with the TogetherATL strategy. This includes artistic or cultural activities led by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) individuals (artistic or executive leaders are BIPOC) or those that directly represent or serve BIPOC communities (evidenced by artistic works, majority BIPOC board members, staff, or population served). Additionally, new organizations that have not previously received this grant, those with less than $300,000 in total support from Metropolitan Atlanta Arts, or those that did not receive a grant in 2023 will also receive priority. The funding criteria emphasize community benefit, artistic and cultural vibrancy, and organizational capacity. The foundation's strategic priorities, as reflected in the TogetherATL strategy, aim to support organizations that increase public engagement and broaden access to the arts, particularly for underserved communities. The grants, ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 in 2024, are designed as one-year general operating support. Through these efforts, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta seeks to cultivate a thriving arts sector that reflects and serves the diversity of the region.

Advancing Nonprofits offers the AMPT grant, a capacity-building initiative designed to strengthen the organizational health and long-term development of small nonprofits on Chicago’s West and South sides. The grant program directly aligns with Advancing Nonprofits' mission to support and empower Black/Latinx leaders and communities. This initiative is committed to transforming philanthropy by addressing systemic racial inequities and serving as a model for anti-racist systems and processes, reflecting a strategic priority to foster equitable and inclusive community development. The target beneficiaries for the AMPT grant are Black and Latine-led organizations with budgets under $2,000,000, serving Black and/or Latine neighborhoods in Chicago, specifically on the South and/or West side. The program also prioritizes organizations that have not previously received a grant from AMPT or another funding entity. The impact goals are to amplify, build power within, and support communities of color in thriving and living happy, healthy lives, ultimately contributing to community well-being and self-sufficiency. The grant prioritizes projects that enhance organizational capacity, such as supplementing program expenses, developing new programs, providing professional development for staff, or covering fees related to hiring external consultants. This focus aims to build stronger, more resilient organizations capable of effectively serving their communities. The expected outcomes include increased organizational stability, enhanced program delivery, and the development of leadership skills within beneficiary organizations. The Advancing Nonprofits' strategic priorities and theory of change are centered on the belief that by investing in and empowering Black/Latinx-led nonprofits, systemic racial inequities can be addressed, and communities of color can achieve greater well-being and power. The $5,000 capacity-building grant is a direct mechanism to support these organizations, enabling them to expand their reach and impact. Measurable results would include the successful implementation of funded projects, improvements in organizational capacity, and ultimately, a positive impact on the communities served by these strengthened nonprofits.
