The John T. Sloper Community Fund, managed by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, is dedicated to enhancing emergency medical services and improving accessibility to emergency health services in Southern Dutchess and Putnam counties, areas previously served by the Sloper-Willen Community Ambulance Service. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to support critical community needs, specifically in life-saving emergency health provisions. The program aims to save lives by equipping local organizations with essential resources and training. The grant targets tax-exempt organizations, police departments, fire companies, and volunteer ambulance services located in or serving Southern Dutchess County and Putnam County, New York. Additionally, for the Cardiovascular Fund, tax-exempt organizations in Dutchess County, New York are eligible. The primary impact goal is to strengthen the emergency medical response infrastructure within these communities, ensuring residents have timely access to critical care and equipment. The fund's priorities include providing Automatic External Defibrillator Devices (AEDs), including necessary materials and training, and supporting organizations in becoming First Responders in areas currently lacking such services. It also focuses on supplying equipment to enhance the overall delivery of emergency medical services. Approximately $20,000 is available annually, with up to $3,500 per grant anticipated for AEDs, training, and support materials, indicating a strategic focus on tangible and immediate improvements in emergency response capabilities. The expected outcomes are a significant increase in the availability of AEDs, a rise in trained First Responders, and an overall improvement in the quality and speed of emergency medical services. Measurable results will include the number of AEDs distributed, the number of individuals trained, and the establishment of new First Responder units. The foundation's theory of change posits that by directly investing in equipment and training for local emergency service providers, it can directly contribute to a more robust and responsive healthcare safety net, ultimately leading to more lives saved and healthier communities. Preference is given to organizations that have not received funding in the prior year, ensuring a broader reach and equitable distribution of resources.

The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky's Shaping a Healthy and Inclusive Future Together (SHIFT) Grant Program aims to transform fragmented communities in Kentucky into inclusive environments for individuals engaging in substance use or experiencing chemical dependence. This program directly aligns with the foundation's mission to build a healthy, inclusive, and connected Kentucky by addressing the critical need for harm reduction and racial equity. The foundation seeks to foster a culture of acceptance and support, moving away from punitive approaches and integrating more compassionate, effective strategies into mainstream services. The SHIFT program targets community-based organizations that primarily serve under-resourced communities of color. These organizations must demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through BIPOC leadership within their staff and board. A crucial eligibility criterion is that applicants must not mandate sobriety for individuals to receive services, emphasizing an inclusive approach. The primary impact goal is to shift communities towards greater inclusion and better support for individuals with substance use challenges, particularly those who have experienced systemic oppression due to the War on Drugs. The grant program prioritizes the integration of harm reduction programming into communities. This includes a variety of project examples such as distributing naloxone, safe use kits, syringe exchanges, and testing strips, as well as community organizing and advocacy that empower individuals with lived experiences. Stigma reduction trainings are also a focus, aimed at helping the public understand and articulate the importance of harm reduction models. Other priorities include developing coalitions of local businesses to provide harm reduction supplies, building partnerships with medication-assisted treatment providers, and integrating peer support professionals into staff positions. Expected outcomes of the grant program include the introduction of new harm reduction service modalities into mainstream services and the increased inclusion of people who use substances into these services. The program offers 10-15 grants, ranging from $10,000 for piloting new programming to $50,000 for supporting ongoing harm reduction and racial equity work. This funding structure supports both innovative new initiatives and the sustained growth of existing effective programs, demonstrating the foundation's strategic commitment to long-term impact and systemic change within Kentucky's communities.

The WVDEP’s Office of Abandoned Mine Lands and Reclamation (AML) administers the AMLER Program, a federal funding initiative designed to support economic development projects on abandoned mine lands. This program aligns with the foundational mission of protecting public health, safety, and property, and restoring land and water resources degraded by past coal mining practices. It specifically targets projects located on or adjacent to mine sites that ceased operations before the Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act was signed, addressing environmental liabilities and fostering economic revitalization in affected communities. The target beneficiaries of the AMLER Program are communities and environments impacted by abandoned mine lands. The primary impact goals include mitigating extreme dangers posed by coal mining practices, enhancing public health and safety, and rehabilitating natural resources. This involves the conservation and development of soil, water, woodland, fish and wildlife, recreation resources, and agricultural productivity. The program aims to transform former mine sites into productive assets, thereby improving the overall well-being and economic prospects of the regions. The program's priorities are directly established by SMCRA, focusing on three key areas. Firstly, it prioritizes the protection of public health, safety, and property from the extreme dangers and adverse effects of coal mining. Secondly, it emphasizes the broader protection of public health and safety from all adverse effects of such practices. Thirdly, a significant focus is on the restoration of land and water resources and the environment that has been previously degraded by these mining activities. This holistic approach ensures that both immediate dangers and long-term environmental damage are addressed. Eligibility criteria for the AMLER Program extend to noncoal lands and water if they were mined or affected by mining processes, abandoned in an unreclaimed or inadequately reclaimed condition prior to August 3rd, 1977, and lack ongoing reclamation responsibility from an operator or the state. The reclamation must be requested by the Governor or equivalent tribal head and be necessary to protect public health, safety, general welfare, and property from extreme dangers of adverse effects of noncoal mining practices. These stringent criteria ensure that funding is directed to areas with the most critical needs and clear justification for intervention. Expected outcomes of the AMLER Program include enhanced public safety through the removal of hazards, improved environmental quality through land and water restoration, and stimulated economic development in historically affected areas. Measurable results would include the number of acres reclaimed, the reduction in reported hazards, improvements in water and soil quality, and the creation of new recreational or agricultural opportunities. The program's strategic priorities are rooted in a theory of change where targeted investment in abandoned mine land reclamation directly leads to environmental recovery, public safety improvements, and sustainable economic growth for communities that have historically borne the brunt of mining's adverse effects.
