The Tennessee Urban and Community Forestry (U&CF) Assistance Program, announced by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry (TDF), is a grant opportunity provided in partnership with the Forest Service. This program aims to promote the creation, enhancement, and protection of urban and community forest ecosystems throughout Tennessee, supporting full-circle management of these valuable resources. The broader mission alignment for this program is rooted in fostering sustainable and healthy communities through environmental stewardship, which aligns with the strategic priorities of both the Forest Service and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The program targets units of local governments (city, town, county), non-profit 501(c)3 organizations, and public educational institutions. Community tree volunteer groups, neighborhood associations, or civic groups that are not 501(c)3 organizations are also eligible if they apply in partnership with a non-profit or local government. The impact goals are to integrate U&CF principles into planning, promote the role of U&CF in human health and wellness, cultivate diversity and leadership in the U&CF community, strengthen forest health and biodiversity, improve management and stewardship, and increase funding for U&CF initiatives. Key priorities for projects include extreme heat mitigation, urban wood utilization, urban food forests, and workforce development. The program also emphasizes increasing public awareness and environmental education to promote stewardship, as well as engaging with communities under the Justice40 initiative through outreach, education, and technical and financial assistance. This focus reflects a strategic theory of change that links targeted interventions in urban forestry to broader improvements in public health, environmental resilience, and social equity within Tennessee communities. Expected outcomes and measurable results include facilitating strong partnerships among various governmental and non-profit entities, increasing awareness and practice of full-circle management in urban forests, and improving community preparedness for natural disasters. The program also seeks to increase the number of communities participating in Arbor Day Foundation recognition programs and to increase awareness of the numerous benefits of trees, such as those related to extreme heat mitigation and stormwater management. Applicants can apply for amounts between $5,000 and $40,000, with projects expected to be completed within one year. Eligible projects encompass urban and community forestry management, tree planting, program development or capacity building, urban and community wood utilization, and workforce development.

The Walter F. Goodnough Trust offers grants specifically designed to support the rehabilitation of underprivileged disabled children, aligning its mission directly with improving the health and well-being of this vulnerable population. This core grant program focuses on a critical area of need within the healthcare sector for children facing both disability and financial hardship. The foundation supports this mission by funding hospitalization-based rehabilitation services exclusively within the state of Florida. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are underprivileged disabled children in Florida who require hospitalization for rehabilitation. The overarching impact goal is to facilitate their recovery and improve their quality of life by providing essential financial support for necessary medical interventions. To achieve this, the trust prioritizes health-related programs and aims to ensure that eligible organizations, specifically 501(c)(3) exempt organizations, can access funding to serve these children effectively. Regarding expected outcomes and measurable results, the document notes that specific detailed metrics are not explicitly stated beyond the goal of "rehabilitation." However, the implicit outcome is an improvement in health and functional abilities for the children served. Success would likely be measured internally by proxies such as the number of children assisted, the types of rehabilitation services provided, and potentially the duration or effectiveness of their hospitalization and subsequent recovery. The foundation’s financial support is focused, with an average grant size ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 and an average total giving of $15,000 per year, suggesting a focus on supporting individual or smaller-scale rehabilitation projects. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on creating a direct and measurable impact within Florida's healthcare landscape, particularly for disabled children. This focused approach is highlighted by the geographic limitation to Florida and the specific program area of Health. The trust's theory of change posits that by providing financial grants directly to qualified organizations, they can enable access to crucial rehabilitation services that would otherwise be out of reach for underprivileged families, thereby addressing a core financial barrier to recovery and improved quality of life.
