The Miami County Visitors & Convention Bureau (MCVCB) is offering tourism grants for 2025 with $30,000 in available funds, up to a maximum of $6,000 per grant. The program's core mission is to develop and bolster destination assets and enhance the visitor experience within Miami County, ultimately driving visitation, overnight stays, and increased visitor spending in local communities. This aligns with the MCVCB's broader goal of strengthening the area's liveability by enhancing its destination assets and encouraging collaboration within Miami County and the wider region. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are local and regional organizations involved in tourism-related activities in Miami County. The impact goals are to strengthen Miami County's image as a visitor/group destination, enhance the visitor/resident experience, and demonstrate measurable community or economic benefits. The MCVCB aims to achieve these by supporting projects that directly contribute to increased tourism and economic growth. The program prioritizes new or expanded projects and events that elevate the visitor experience, including photography, videography, community wayfinding signage, placemaking, and enhancements to visitor attractions and museums (e.g., programming, art installations, interactive exhibits). Marketing and promotional opportunities are also key focuses. Priority will be given to first-time projects and those promoting out-of-county visitation with a broader impact than just local. Projects that capitalize on off-peak or shoulder seasons are also highly valued. Expected outcomes include a discernible increase in visitor traffic, overnight stays, and visitor revenue within Miami County. The program's theory of change posits that by investing in projects that enhance the visitor experience and promote the region, the MCVCB can stimulate economic growth and improve the overall liveability of Miami County. Measurable results will be assessed based on the project's ability to demonstrate a measurable community or economic benefit, track increases in overnight stays, and contribute to visitor revenue. Grant funds may not exceed 50% of total project costs, encouraging co-funding and in-kind contributions, further amplifying the impact of the grants.

The Farm and Food Growth Fund (FFGF) administers a portion of New York State’s Department of Agriculture and Markets USDA Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) grant program. This program, funded by the American Rescue Plan (ARP) of 2021, aims to enhance, grow, and improve the mid-channel of the food supply chain within New York State. The overarching mission alignment is to expand each state’s middle-chain capacity and infrastructure for the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storage, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution of targeted local and regional agricultural food products, excluding meat, poultry, cannabis, animal food and forage, fiber, and wild-caught seafood. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are New York State agricultural producers, processors, groups of producers and processors, nonprofit organizations, local government entities, tribal governments, and institutions such as schools, universities, or hospitals that bring producers together to establish cooperative or shared infrastructure or invest in equipment for middle-of-the-supply-chain activities. The impact goals are to increase the supply of New York-sourced food products available in New York and regional markets, benefit multiple producers and markets, and support the development of new value-added products. The program prioritizes infrastructure development to expand business capacity for processing, aggregation, storage, and distribution. Specific focuses include targeting infrastructure projects to the dairy, fruit and vegetable, and organic industries. Another key priority is to create greater market access to intermediaries like food hubs, aggregators, wholesalers, and distributors, with the goal of increasing local food sales to institutions such as schools, hospitals, and correctional facilities. Expected outcomes include expanded processing capacities, modernized equipment and facilities, increased packaging and labeling capabilities, enhanced worker safety, and greater storage space, including cold storage. The program also seeks to develop and install climate-smart equipment that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases water use efficiency, and improves air/water quality. Measurable results would involve an increase in New York-sourced food products in local markets, a greater number of businesses with expanded processing and distribution capacities, and an increase in local food sales to institutions, ultimately strengthening the resilience and efficiency of the state's food supply chain.

The Small Business Boost Grant, announced by The Intentional Development Group and funded by the City of Youngstown, is designed to empower local entrepreneurs and strengthen the economic landscape of Youngstown. This program aims to boost the economic impact of small businesses within the city by providing funds for projects that address climate change mitigation and adaptation within the agricultural sector. The foundation's mission, as inferred from the program's focus, aligns with fostering economic resilience and sustainability through targeted community investment and environmental stewardship. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are New York State Soil and Water Conservation Districts (Districts), who will submit proposals on behalf of multiple projects and/or farm operations. The program's impact goals are to mitigate the impact of agriculture on climate change, enhance on-farm adaptation and resiliency to projected climate conditions, and ultimately boost the economic impact of small businesses. The program directly supports the agricultural sector, indirectly benefiting the broader community through environmental improvements and economic stability. The grant prioritizes several key areas, categorized into distinct tracks. These include Livestock Management (Alternative Waste Management and Precision Feed Management), Cover and Flare Projects, Adaptation and Resiliency, Healthy Soils NY (Systems and BMPs that support soil health and agroforestry), Soil Health Systems, and Agricultural Forest Management (carbon sequestration). These specific focuses highlight a comprehensive approach to sustainable agricultural practices and climate change response. With a total available funding of $28,750,000, the grant expects measurable outcomes across these tracks. For instance, Track 1A (Livestock Management) has $4,500,000 in State Funds, Track 1B (Cover and Flare Projects) has $7,000,000 in Federal Funds, Track 2 (Adaptation & Resiliency) has $5,000,000 in State Funds, Track 3A (Healthy Soils NY) has $4,500,000 in State Funds, Track 3B (Soil Health Systems) has $7,000,000 in Federal Funds, and Track 4 (Agricultural Forestry Management) has $750,000 in State Funds. These allocations indicate the expected scale and scope of the projects, with success measured by the implementation of sustainable practices and the resulting environmental and economic benefits. The foundation's strategic priorities are evident in the grant's emphasis on climate change mitigation and adaptation within agriculture, coupled with economic development. The theory of change appears to be that by funding conservation districts to implement specific, environmentally beneficial agricultural practices, the program will not only reduce the ecological footprint of farming but also enhance the long-term viability and economic impact of small agricultural businesses in the region, thereby contributing to the overall economic well-being of the City of Youngstown.

The Placer County Air Pollution Control District's Clean Air Grant (CAG) Program is designed to provide monetary grants to private companies and public agencies. The core mission of this program aligns with the broader goal of improving air quality by incentivizing actions that reduce emissions from heavy-duty engines. This goes beyond existing legal or regulatory requirements, encouraging a proactive approach to environmental stewardship. The program's strategic priority is to accelerate California's transition towards zero and near-zero emission technologies, addressing both local air quality and broader climate change concerns. The target beneficiaries of the CAG Program are diverse and include private companies, public agencies, and specific segments within these, such as small fleets for off-road funding, and entities operating school buses. A significant portion of the funds is reserved for projects located within or directly benefitting low-income communities, indicating a strong focus on environmental justice and equitable distribution of environmental benefits. The impact goals are centered on achieving surplus emission reductions, particularly from heavy-duty on-road and off-road equipment, and supporting infrastructure for cleaner technologies. The program prioritizes several key areas. These include agricultural portable and stationary engine repower and infrastructure, alternative fuel infrastructure (such as battery charging, natural gas, and hydrogen fueling stations), heavy-duty on- and off-road equipment replacement, repower, and retrofit, and school bus replacement. There is a clear emphasis on zero-emission technology and infrastructure, which is a guiding principle for the program. The District also considers special projects for sensitive receptors, further demonstrating a commitment to protecting vulnerable populations from air pollution. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in air toxics, criteria air pollutants, and greenhouse gas emissions. The program aims to achieve these reductions through investments that directly benefit impacted communities. While specific measurable results are not detailed in terms of quantifiable targets (e.g., "reduce NOx by X tons"), the guiding principles suggest a commitment to considering cost-effectiveness and exposure reduction in funding decisions, implying a data-driven approach to evaluating impact. Transparency in project selections and reporting is also a stated guiding principle, which will contribute to the accountability and effectiveness of the program.
