The Mayor’s Office of African Affairs (MOAA) is offering its FY2025 African Community Grant to qualified Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) serving the African community in the District of Columbia. This grant aims to support initiatives that contribute to the District's strategic priorities, fostering a vibrant, safe, and educated community. The program's mission is directly aligned with strengthening the African community by supporting organizations that provide direct services and address key areas of need within the District. The grant targets the African community of all ages residing in the District of Columbia. The impact goals are broadly focused on improving the quality of life for this community. This includes contributing to a "Downtown Comeback" by reimagining vibrant centers of activity, enhancing "Public Safety" by reducing all forms of violence and supporting residents through investments in education, housing, and economic development, and improving "Education" by ensuring every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential through academic and recreational activities. The grant prioritizes services in three key funding areas: Downtown Comeback, Public Safety, and Education. For the Downtown Comeback, the focus is on creating spaces where residents, workers, and visitors can live, work, and play, positioning DC as a global and forward-thinking leader. For Public Safety, the emphasis is on creating lasting change, reducing violence, and supporting residents through investments in education, housing, and economic development. In Education, the priorities are fundamental skills like reading and math, as well as recreational activities such as sports, arts, civic engagement, and youth engagement. Expected outcomes and measurable results, while not explicitly detailed with specific metrics, are implied through the funding areas. For example, in Public Safety, the expected outcome is a reduction in violence and improved quality of life through various investments. In Education, the goal is for children to reach their full potential, suggesting improved academic outcomes and increased participation in enriching activities. The grant's theory of change appears to be that by investing in CBOs providing direct services in these critical areas, the overall well-being and strength of the African community in the District of Columbia will be enhanced, contributing to a more equitable and thriving city for all.

The Community Services Agency (CSA) Partnership Grant program, initiated by the Board of County Commissioners, addresses human service needs in Seminole County, Florida. This program reflects a strategic priority to collaborate with local non-profit agencies, leveraging their expertise to benefit and improve the quality of life for residents. The core mission alignment is centered on assisting Seminole County residents with specific needs, demonstrating a commitment to community well-being and partnership-driven solutions. The program's theory of change posits that by providing grant funds to qualified non-profit organizations, critical human service gaps can be effectively addressed, leading to an enhanced quality of life for the county's population. The target beneficiaries of the CSA program are the residents of Seminole County who require assistance with specific human service needs. The program's impact goals are to improve the quality of life for these residents by supporting non-profit agencies that deliver direct services. Priorities for funding are given to projects or programs that provide direct services identified as top needs in the 2024 Community Needs Assessment. These top needs include Childcare, Utility Assistance, Mental Health Services, Rental Subsidy/Assistance, Homeless Services, Housing for Homeless Families, Food, and Transitional Housing. The program aims to achieve measurable results by funding initiatives that directly address these identified critical areas within the community. Eligibility criteria for the grant ensure that funds are directed to well-established and responsible non-profit organizations. Agencies must be chartered or authorized to do business in Florida for charitable purposes, possess a 501(c)(3) tax exemption for a minimum of three years, and demonstrate that their services benefit Seminole County residents and address community needs. Priority funding is extended to agencies that align with the Community Needs Assessment. Further requirements include having an uncompensated governing board free of conflicts of interest, established bylaws and policies covering management, audits, fiscal procedures, nepotism, and conflict of interest, and at least one year of experience in providing the requested service. Agencies must also be licensed and accredited. Expected outcomes include a significant improvement in access to essential services for Seminole County residents, particularly in the high-priority areas identified. Measurable results would involve tracking the number of residents served, the types of services provided, and the overall impact on community well-being in the targeted areas. The program strictly defines ineligible activities, such as capital improvement, construction, property or home purchases, and administrative expenses, to ensure that funds are maximized for direct service delivery. Funding limits are also in place, with awards not exceeding twenty-five percent of an agency's prior year's expenditures, based on their IRS 990 form, to promote sustainable and diverse funding for recipient organizations.

The Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF) is offering the Elevation Grant Program to support community-based efforts in Marion County, Indiana. This program aligns with CICF's mission to foster a thriving community by focusing on areas critical to well-being and equitable opportunity. The grant aims to empower residents and organizations to address systemic challenges through targeted interventions, ultimately leading to a more inclusive and resilient Central Indiana. The grant targets a diverse range of beneficiaries, including residents in specific neighborhoods, youth and young adults facing unique challenges, individuals currently interacting with the criminal legal system, and a priority population of Black/Latinx males aged 18-35 who are at high risk of violent victimization or perpetration. The impact goals are broad, encompassing increased resident safety, strengthened social networks, reduced crime, improved educational and employment outcomes for youth, enhanced social-emotional development, reduced recidivism, and comprehensive crisis response services for vulnerable populations. The Elevation Grant Program prioritizes five key areas: Thriving Neighborhoods, Empowered Youth / Young Adult, Restoration & Resilience, Justice-Involved Supports, and Intervention. Thriving Neighborhoods focuses on place-based efforts to promote safety and reduce crime, emphasizing resident engagement and community partnerships.

Expected outcomes and measurable results are integral to the grant program. For Thriving Neighborhoods, organizations must demonstrate increased resident safety and awareness through surveys, crime reporting, or statistics. Empowered Youth/Young Adult programs should show improved conditions for participants through measurable impacts of services and formal mentorship components. Justice-Involved Supports require demonstration of an individual's ability to gain skills, obtain work, secure housing, and prevent future interactions with the criminal legal system.

Funding can cover various expenses, including artist services, professional fees, stipends, supplies, production costs, space rentals, food, marketing, and printing. Eligible project types include performances, residencies/workshops, and general arts events. The program encourages a broad interpretation of arts programming, seeking to support diverse forms of creative expression. Expected outcomes include a more vibrant and active arts scene in Tempe, increased community engagement in cultural activities, and greater support for local artists and arts organizations.

The maximum funding available is $2,500, with no match required, making the grants accessible to smaller organizations and emerging artists. The duration of the grant is one year, supporting sustained artistic endeavors within the community. The program's strategic priorities are to cultivate a thriving arts ecosystem in Tempe and ensure that arts and culture are accessible to all residents. The underlying theory of change is that by directly funding local arts initiatives, the City of Tempe can stimulate economic activity, enhance quality of life, and strengthen community bonds through shared cultural experiences. This direct investment in arts programming is intended to create a ripple effect, fostering a more creative, engaged, and culturally rich city. There are several restrictions to ensure the grants align with the program's goals. Activities occurring outside Tempe, organizations with budgets exceeding $100,000, entirely virtual programming, permanent infrastructure enhancements, construction, debt reduction, and projects in schools (unless through a specific Arts in Schools Grant) are ineligible. Additionally, projects associated with universities or colleges, religious organizations, fundraising, scholarship programs, and applicants who failed to submit a Final Report from a previously funded grant are not eligible.

The City of La Porte’s Office of Community Development is seeking proposals for its Public Services Program, funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This program, which began in 2004 in La Porte, aims to improve the quality of life for low- and moderate-income citizens. Funded projects must align with national objectives set by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, which include benefiting low- and moderate-income persons, preventing or eliminating slums or blight, or addressing urgent community needs where existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to health or welfare and other financial resources are unavailable. The target beneficiaries of this program are primarily low- and moderate-income residents of La Porte. The impact goals are centered around enhancing their quality of life, fostering self-sufficiency, and promoting self-reliance. This aligns with a broader strategic priority of community development that addresses fundamental societal needs and empowers individuals within the community. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by providing targeted services and support in key areas, the overall well-being and economic stability of vulnerable populations in La Porte will improve. Funding priorities are categorized into three main areas: Homelessness, Non-housing Community Development, and Non-homeless Special Needs. Under Homelessness, objectives include coordination and outreach, rental assistance, supportive services, and prevention. For Non-housing Community Development, the focus is on providing support services to seniors, health services (including mental health), emergency assistance, and activities that promote self-reliance, employment, and education. It also aims to strengthen local housing organizations through fair housing outreach and education, and to collaborate with institutions to ensure access to mortgages and insurance. Non-homeless Special Needs focuses on special needs coordination and accessibility improvement. The expected outcomes and measurable results, while not explicitly detailed with specific metrics, can be inferred from the stated objectives. For homelessness, successful outcomes would include increased access to housing, reduced homelessness, and improved coordination of services. In non-housing community development, anticipated results include improved health and well-being for seniors, increased employment and educational attainment, enhanced fair housing access, and greater availability of financial services. For non-homeless special needs, outcomes would involve better coordination of services for individuals with special needs and improved accessibility within the community. The program implicitly seeks to demonstrate a clear and positive impact on the lives of low- and moderate-income residents through these various initiatives.

The fund seeks proposals that demonstrate a clear potential for significant positive change within an 18-month project period. Expected outcomes include the creation of new career development opportunities, the enhancement of existing talent retention initiatives, and the improvement of public spaces within Erie neighborhoods.

A key focus is on current residents of Vanderburgh County for the Mayor's Art Award, and generally on those whose arts activities have had a significant impact on the City of Evansville or Southwestern Indiana. The expected outcomes and measurable results include the public recognition of significant contributions to the arts, the encouragement of emerging talent, and the celebration of arts-led community development initiatives.

The repeated emphasis on impact within the community underscores ARTSWIN's strategic priority to integrate the arts as a core component of regional identity and development.

INcommon Grants, provided by Indiana Humanities, offer funding to tax-exempt organizations for public programs that utilize the humanities to explore subjects related to race and ethnicity.
