Texas grants for Nonprofits

UPDATED NOTICE - PLEASE READ: April 6, 2023 EDA is excited to announce the launch of its new grants management platform: the Economic Development Grants Experience (EDGE). EDGE was developed to streamline the application and grants management process by implementing a single platform with increased transparency, improved user experience, higher data quality, and more efficiency throughout the entire grant lifecycle. As of April 6th, 2023, applications can no longer be submitted on Grants.gov, and will ONLY be accepted through EDGE. To apply in EDGE, please go to: sfgrants.eda.gov. More information on how to apply is provided in the full NOFO. PARTNERSHIP PLANNING program instructions: Please note that applicants will be invited to submit applications through EDGE for the Partnership Planning program. For more information, please reach out to your EDA point of contact. Program Description: EDA makes planning and local technical assistance investments to support economic development, foster job creation, and attract private investment in economically distressed areas of the United States. Under the Planning program, EDA makes Partnership Planning, Short-Term Planning, and State Planning awards to eligible recipients to create and implement regional economic development plans designed to build capacity and guide the economic prosperity and resiliency of an area or region. More specifically, EDA makes Partnership Planning investments to designated planning organizations (i.e., District Organizations) serving EDA-designated Economic Development Districts and to Indian Tribes to facilitate the development, implementation, revision, or replacement of Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS), which articulate and prioritize the strategic economic goals of recipients respective regions. EDA also makes Short-Term and State Planning awards for economic development planning activities that guide the eventual creation and retention of high-quality jobs, particularly for the unemployed and underemployed in the Nations most economically distressed regions. Under the Local Technical Assistance program, EDA makes awards to strengthen the capacity of local or State organizations, institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities to undertake and promote effective economic development programs through projects such as feasibility studies, impact analyses, disaster resiliency plans, and project planning. **Please note: While the published Notice of Funding Opportunity (available under "Related Documents") states that the ED900A form and the SF424B form are both required for a complete application, these forms are no longer required and have therefore been removed from the package template.

The St. David’s Foundation's "We All Benefit" open call seeks to support organizations and collaboratives actively involved in enrolling eligible Central Texans in health insurance benefits or assisting individuals and communities with the eligibility determination and enrollment process through outreach, education, or training. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to improve health in Central Texas, specifically by increasing access to healthcare coverage and related support services. The program is designed to address a critical need for health insurance access within the region, directly contributing to the foundation's broader goal of fostering a healthier community. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are eligible Central Texans residing in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson counties who need health insurance benefits or assistance with the enrollment process. The program targets individuals, communities, and organizations that either directly enroll people in health insurance or provide support in the eligibility determination and enrollment process. The impact goals are centered on enhancing health equity and access to care by ensuring more Central Texans gain health insurance coverage, thereby reducing the burden of uninsured individuals and improving overall community health outcomes. The "We All Benefit" open call prioritizes organizations or collaboratives that demonstrate a clear focus on health insurance enrollment and support services. Specifically, it seeks to fund entities that engage in outreach, education, or training related to health insurance eligibility and enrollment. The foundation has set aside up to $8 million for this initiative, offering individual organizations up to $250,000 and funding collaboratives up to $1,000,000. This tiered funding structure underscores the foundation's strategic priority of fostering both individual organizational impact and collaborative efforts to achieve a wider reach and more comprehensive solutions for healthcare access. Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Central Texans enrolled in health insurance benefits and a strengthening of the support infrastructure for eligibility determination and enrollment. Measurable results will likely be tied to the number of individuals successfully enrolled, the reach of outreach and education initiatives, and the capacity building of organizations involved in this work. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by investing in organizations that directly facilitate health insurance access, they can create a more resilient and equitable healthcare landscape for Central Texans, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes across the five-county region.
