The 2024-25 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is designed to bolster cybersecurity defenses across various local entities within California. This grant aligns with a foundational mission of safeguarding critical digital infrastructure and sensitive information from escalating cyber threats. By focusing on enhancing the security posture of state and local governments, the program directly supports the broader strategic goal of ensuring public safety and operational continuity in the digital realm. The primary beneficiaries of the SLCGP are local governments, school districts, special districts, and federally recognized tribes. The overarching impact goal is to significantly reduce the vulnerability of these entities to cybersecurity incidents, thereby protecting public services and citizen data. The grant aims to empower these organizations with the resources and knowledge necessary to proactively address and mitigate cyber risks. The program prioritizes the improvement of information systems security and the enhancement of critical infrastructure resilience. This involves a focus on implementing robust cybersecurity measures, developing incident response capabilities, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness among staff. The grant seeks to support initiatives that strengthen existing defenses and build new capacities to detect, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks effectively. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in successful cyberattacks, improved compliance with cybersecurity best practices, and enhanced data protection across participating entities. Quantifiable results could involve metrics such as the number of vulnerabilities patched, the increase in cybersecurity training completion rates, and the reduction in recovery time after an incident. These outcomes are crucial for building a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on creating a secure and reliable digital environment for public services. The theory of change behind this grant is that by providing targeted financial assistance and promoting best practices, local entities will be better equipped to withstand and recover from cyber threats. This investment in cybersecurity is expected to lead to more resilient communities, greater public trust in government services, and a more secure state overall.

The California State Nonprofit Security Grant Program (CSNSGP), provided by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), offers funding support for target hardening and other physical security enhancements. This program is specifically designed for nonprofit organizations in California that are at high risk for violent attacks and hate crimes due to their ideology, beliefs, or mission. The grant size ranges from $100,000 to $500,000 with a duration of two years, running from December 1, 2024, to December 31, 2026. The total amount available for solicitation is $76,000,000, with a maximum of $250,000 per location, up to a total of $500,000 per applicant. The primary target beneficiaries are California nonprofit organizations described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and exempt from tax under Section 501(a). This includes organizations such as churches, mosques, and synagogues, which are automatically exempt if they meet 501(c)(3) requirements. The overarching impact goal is to enhance the physical security of these vulnerable organizations, thereby preventing and protecting them against violent attacks and hate crimes. The program seeks to ensure the safety of both facilities and the people within them, including those with access and functional needs, and those with limited English proficiency. The program prioritizes several categories of cost, including Planning, Equipment, Training, Construction/Renovation, Contracted Security, Management and Administration (M&A), and Support Services. Planning activities may include developing security plans, emergency contingency plans, and evacuation plans. Equipment focuses on physical security enhancements like reinforced doors, high-intensity lighting, alarms, inspection systems, and access control. Training is for employees or members to receive on-site security training, addressing specific threats and vulnerabilities. Construction or Renovation is permitted for target hardening, limited to $100,000, and contracted security personnel are allowed but cannot exceed 50% of the requested amount, with the expectation that applicants can sustain this capability without future CSNSGP funding. M&A and Support Services each have a cap of five percent of the funds. Expected outcomes include a significant improvement in the physical security posture of participating nonprofit organizations, a reduction in their vulnerability to violent attacks and hate crimes, and enhanced preparedness for emergencies. Measurable results would involve the successful implementation of security enhancements, such as new equipment installations, improved security plans, and trained personnel. The program's strategic priorities align with the foundation's goal of safeguarding communities and promoting a secure environment for organizations that may face threats due to their core identities or missions, thereby contributing to the broader theory of change that targeted security investments can mitigate risks and foster resilience within vulnerable populations.

The program helps various constituents including pets (homeless and owned), families facing economic hardships, unhoused populations, military veterans, domestic violence survivors, victims of disasters, and displaced persons. The GOODS Program works by sourcing and managing excess, re-branded, and short-dated food and supplies from donors such as manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. These products are then made available to qualified distribution groups called Ambassadors who ensure they reach the organizations in need known as Recipients. The program operates through a sustainable hub and spoke model similar to a food bank where goods are donated but costs are covered by handling fees and donations. To apply as a Recipient organization, interested parties can locate the nearest Ambassador on the program's website and apply directly through their website. For general inquiries or to inquire about grants and services, individuals can contact Greater Good Charities through their website or send checks to their designated address in Seattle, WA.
