Grant Round 2 Annual deadlines: September 1st (preliminary application July 15th) City of La Porte Public Services Program 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.

This grant program, specifically focused on various awards, aligns with ARTSWIN's mission to support and promote the arts within the community.

The awards aim to celebrate artistic excellence, long-standing commitment to the arts, and the positive impact of arts activities on the City of Evansville and Vanderburgh County. The target beneficiaries for these awards include individual artists (visual, performing, film, literary), young artists (rising high school juniors or seniors), arts educators, and community projects that utilize the arts for advancement.

The impact goals are to acknowledge and encourage artistic talent, foster community engagement through the arts, and recognize the vital role the arts play in community, economic development, and quality of life.

The program prioritizes and focuses on several categories: the Mayor’s Art Award for exceptional, long-standing impact; Visual Arts Award for outstanding visual artists; Performing Arts Award for exceptional performing artists; Young Artist Award for promising high school students; Arts Educator Award for influential educators; and the Arts Project Award for projects advancing community goals.

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.

While specific quantitative measures are not detailed, the prestige of the awards and the public recognition serve as a form of measurable impact, elevating the profile of the arts and inspiring further artistic endeavors within the region. 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.

Future of Manufacturing Fund United Way of Greater Cincinnati 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.

Evansville Endowment Fund Grant 2024 Evansville Endowment Fund The City of Alexandria's 2024 Small Business Resiliency (SBR) Grant Program aims to provide vital assistance to the city's small businesses. This initiative is designed to foster a resilient and inclusive business environment within the community by helping businesses overcome challenges in accessing essential resources.

The program is administered by the Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC), highlighting a collaborative effort to empower entrepreneurs and cultivate a thriving local business ecosystem. The city's contribution of funds directly supports its commitment to a robust local economy. The program targets small businesses located within the City of Alexandria.

To be eligible, businesses must have one or more locations, including their principal place of business, in Alexandria, and must employ 100 or fewer individuals. Furthermore, businesses must have been established and revenue-generating before December 31, 2023, and their business revenue in either 2022 or 2023 must not have exceeded $250,000.

These criteria ensure that the grant focuses on genuinely small, local businesses that contribute significantly to the community's economic fabric. A key priority of the SBR Grant Program is to support businesses that are in "good standing," meaning they are current on all local taxes or have an active payment plan with the City of Alexandria, and are not currently undergoing bankruptcy proceedings.

Ineligible entities include non-profits, banks, financial institutions, gig economy contractors, and corporate-owned locations, branches, subsidiaries, or franchise businesses, unless they are locally owned and operated within the City of Alexandria. This focus ensures that the grants directly benefit independent small businesses facing immediate challenges.

The expected outcome of the program is to enhance the resilience of Alexandria's small business community, enabling them to better navigate and overcome economic challenges. By providing grants of up to $7,000, the program aims to provide tangible financial support that can be used to access essential resources, thereby strengthening individual businesses and, by extension, the overall local economy.

The program's administration by LEDC further suggests an emphasis on equitable access to resources, aligning with a broader strategy of fostering an inclusive business environment and empowering diverse entrepreneurs within Alexandria.
