The Community Foundation of the New River Valley (CFNRV) is offering its 2024 Education Grant Program, aimed at enhancing educational opportunities within the New River Valley. This grant program aligns with the foundation's broader mission to support and strengthen the communities it serves, specifically by investing in the education sector. The initiative is designed to fund projects that provide additional resources and experiences beyond what is typically available through public funding, thereby fostering innovation and addressing specific needs within local schools. The grant program targets a wide range of beneficiaries, including educators, support personnel, students, and PTA's/PTO's within the public schools of Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, and Wythe counties, as well as the City of Radford. Additionally, Head Start programs serving Montgomery County and projects from the MCPS central office, Montgomery Central, or the NRV Juvenile Detention Home are eligible. The primary impact goal is to create opportunities that directly benefit students, personnel, and the school community, leading to improved educational outcomes and a more enriched learning environment. The program prioritizes projects that demonstrate a clear need and offer creative solutions that go above and beyond existing public provisions. Evaluators will focus on the extent to which proposed projects meet identified needs and the potential for significant, positive impact on students, personnel, and the school system as a whole. This includes considering how well the project provides opportunities that are truly supplemental and innovative, aligning with the CFNRV's strategic priority of fostering robust educational ecosystems in the region. The expected outcomes include enhanced learning experiences for students, increased support for educational staff, and a more dynamic and resourceful school environment. Measurable results will likely be derived from how well the proposed projects address the described needs and the tangible benefits they deliver to the target population. The CFNRV's theory of change appears to center on the idea that by strategically funding supplemental educational initiatives, they can stimulate growth, address gaps in public funding, and ultimately contribute to the long-term well-being and development of the New River Valley's youth and educational institutions. The grants range from $1,000 to $10,000, with an amount available up to $2,000, indicating a focus on funding a variety of impactful, smaller-scale projects. Applications are due by July 19, 2024. This structured approach ensures that resources are allocated to projects that are well-conceived, demonstrate clear objectives, and promise measurable improvements within the local educational landscape, reinforcing the foundation's commitment to community betterment through education.

The Public Art Learning Fund, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), is designed to fortify the public art landscape across New England by offering professional development opportunities directly to artists. NEFA's overarching mission, as reflected in this grant, is to cultivate more equitable, inclusive, and vibrant public spaces and public life throughout the region. This initiative aligns with NEFA's strategic goal of fostering a sustainable and equitable public art ecosystem by investing in the skills, resources, and connections of artists working in the public realm. The primary beneficiaries of this fund are artists residing full-time in one of the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) who are actively engaged in public artmaking or are in the process of expanding their practice into this domain. The fund aims to empower these artists, contributing to more just and inclusive public art. Expected outcomes include artists developing enhanced skills and resources, leading to the creation of more vibrant public spaces and a stronger regional community of practice. The Public Art Learning Fund prioritizes opportunities that specifically expand an artist's public art practice and contribute equitably to more just and inclusive public artmaking. NEFA seeks clarity on desired learnings and their application to the artist's practice. The fund welcomes artists at various stages of their public artmaking careers from urban, suburban, and rural communities, recognizing that diverse cultural and artistic expressions are crucial for equitable and vibrant public spaces. A key focus of this grant is equity. NEFA acknowledges that various barriers, including race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, class, age, and geography, can limit access to professional development. Therefore, the Public Art Learning Fund actively prioritizes equity in its funding decisions. This may include, but is not limited to, prioritizing artists who self-identify as Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and/or those who are rooted in rural communities, aligning with NEFA's theory of change that targeted support can address systemic inequities and build a more inclusive artistic landscape. Grants range from $500 to $3,000 and support opportunities taking place between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. Eligible applicants must also have a Creative Ground profile, and the proposed professional development must directly relate to strengthening their public art practice and occur within the grant period. These measurable results, such as the number of artists served and the nature of their professional development, contribute to NEFA's broader strategic aim of fostering a more equitable and sustainable public art ecosystem in New England.

The Scanlan Foundation offers grants to Catholic religious, charitable, and educational institutions exclusively within Texas. Its core mission is to foster a culture of vocations, guiding all strategic decisions, giving, and relationship-building efforts. This foundational commitment is supported by five key pillars of funding, each designed to align with and further the foundation's overarching spiritual and community-focused objectives. The foundation's theory of change is rooted in strengthening the Catholic faith and its institutions at various levels, from individual formation to community-wide impact. One of the primary pillars is "Vocations To The Priesthood And Religious Life," with the explicit goal of increasing the number of men and women answering their call to join the priesthood and religious life. This initiative targets individuals discerning a religious vocation, aiming to support their journey and bolster the future leadership of the Catholic Church. Another crucial area is "Marriage & Holy Families," which seeks to encourage sacramental marriage preparedness for engaged couples and strengthen existing marriages, recognizing their vital role as the "Domestic Church." The foundation expects these efforts to result in more robust faith-filled families and a stronger social fabric within the Catholic community. "Catholic Education" is another significant focus, with goals to enhance access for families who value faith-based education but face financial barriers, improve teacher faith-formation, and develop strong campus ministries. The target beneficiaries are students, teachers, and campus communities within Catholic educational institutions across Texas. The expected outcomes include a more accessible and spiritually enriching educational environment, better-prepared educators, and vibrant campus ministries that foster faith development among young people. This pillar reflects the foundation's strategic priority of investing in the future of the Church through education. The "Evangelization & Discipleship" pillar aims to form missionary disciples, particularly on college campuses in Texas, and to foster personal holiness and promote individual faith formation. This involves engaging young adults in their faith journey and equipping them to share the Gospel. Furthermore, the "Life & Human Dignity" pillar is dedicated to assisting the poor, sick, and vulnerable, promoting faith-based therapy, and strengthening the culture of life. These efforts collectively target those in need and seek to uphold the inherent dignity of every human person, reflecting a comprehensive approach to charitable giving and social impact. Across all its funding pillars, the Scanlan Foundation prioritizes expressly Catholic 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Texas that align with its mission. The foundation's strategic priorities are clearly articulated through the specific goals of each pillar, emphasizing measurable results such as increased vocations, strengthened marriages, enhanced educational access, and improved support for vulnerable populations. The ultimate expected outcomes are a more vibrant, resilient, and faithful Catholic community in Texas, nurtured through targeted support and strategic partnerships.
