The Greater Worcester Community Foundation is offering its Health & Wellbeing and Youth & Families Grant Program, which is designed to be responsive and flexible, incorporating trust-based philanthropic principles. This approach aims to reduce applicant time, increase interaction, and provide alternative storytelling methods. The foundation's mission, as reflected in this program, is to strengthen systems that ensure equitable healthcare access for historically excluded populations and to support families and young people with critical resources and meaningful experiences. The target beneficiaries of this program are individuals from historically excluded populations needing equitable healthcare access, and families and young people who require support to thrive. The impact goals are to improve healthcare access and outcomes for underserved communities and to ensure that families have the necessary resources and young people have access to essential support and enriching experiences. The program seeks to achieve these goals through projects and programs that align with its focus areas and meaningfully address the identified lenses. The program's priorities and focuses are primarily within two key areas: Health & Wellbeing and Youth & Families. For Health & Wellbeing, the focus is on strengthening systems to ensure equitable healthcare access for historically excluded populations. For Youth & Families, the focus is on ensuring families have what they need to thrive and that young people have access to critical supports and meaningful experiences. Requests should support projects or programs that are highly aligned with at least one of these strategic focus areas and demonstrate an ability to meaningfully address the work through the specified lenses. The expected outcomes and measurable results, while not explicitly detailed with specific metrics in the provided information, are implicitly tied to the program's focus areas. For Health & Wellbeing, outcomes would include improved access to healthcare services and better health outcomes for historically excluded populations. For Youth & Families, outcomes would involve increased family stability and well-being, and enhanced opportunities and experiences for young people. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on this responsive and flexible approach, utilizing trust-based philanthropy to create a more efficient and impactful grant-making process. The theory of change suggests that by investing in highly aligned projects and programs that address the identified lenses within Health & Wellbeing and Youth & Families, they can effectively strengthen community systems and improve the lives of Worcester County residents, particularly those from historically excluded groups. The grant range for this program is $2,500 – $25,000.

The LGBTQ Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham has released its Request for Proposals (RFP) for the 2024 Grant Cycle, aiming to support organizations that strengthen the infrastructure of LGBTQ-led or serving groups, provide services to LGBTQ youth, individuals, and families, and offer educational opportunities highlighting the needs of the LGBTQ community. The fund also seeks to advance collaboration between LGBTQ organizations and other community groups, and support nonprofit partners working on public policy and social justice issues that intersect with LGBTQ concerns. The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham's mission to enhance the quality of life in the region aligns with the LGBTQ Fund's goals by fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all community members, particularly those from historically marginalized groups. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are LGBTQ persons, with a particular focus on underserved communities including people of color, youth, seniors, transgender individuals, gender non-binary persons, and those in rural areas. The impact goals are to improve the well-being and equity of these communities through various support systems. Expected outcomes include stronger LGBTQ organizations, increased access to vital services for LGBTQ individuals and families, greater public understanding and acceptance through education, and more effective advocacy for LGBTQ rights and social justice. Measurable results could include the number of organizations supported, the number of individuals served, the reach of educational programs, and the impact of policy initiatives. Priority will be given to proposals that specifically address the needs of demonstrably underserved LGBTQ communities, emphasizing an intersectional approach. This includes programs focusing on inclusive healthcare and mental health services, immigrant advocacy, racial and economic justice, and initiatives promoting faith and acceptance. The typical grant amounts range from $3,000 to $7,000, with the fund also considering general operating expenses if justified in the application. This strategic focus ensures that resources are directed towards areas with the most significant need and potential for transformative impact within the LGBTQ community in Central Alabama. Grants are awarded to non-profit organizations in Central Alabama, specifically in Blount, Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, and Walker counties, that either directly serve the LGBTQ community or are expanding existing programs to be inclusive and affirming of LGBTQ persons. Organizations not currently designated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit are encouraged to apply using a fiscal sponsor. This demonstrates the Foundation's strategic priority of building capacity within the non-profit sector and its theory of change, which posits that by empowering and funding organizations dedicated to LGBTQ issues, they can create a more equitable, supportive, and inclusive Central Alabama for all LGBTQ individuals.

Date Added

May 3, 2024

The Women’s Foundation of Arkansas (WFA) is launching its fifth Women’s Economic Mobility Hub (WEM Hub) cohort, a program specifically designed to support Black women-owned businesses. This initiative aligns directly with the WFA's mission to advance economic mobility for women, particularly focusing on a demographic that often faces significant barriers to business growth. By providing a comprehensive suite of resources, the WEM Hub seeks to address systemic inequities and foster sustainable economic empowerment. The primary target beneficiaries of the WEM Hub program are existing businesses that are at least 75% owned and operated by one or more Black women who are U.S. citizens. These businesses must be physically located and operating for over one year within Arkansas, and be in good standing with the Arkansas Secretary of State and current on all taxes. The program specifically excludes not-for-profit entities, focusing instead on for-profit corporations, partnerships, LLPs, LLCs, or sole proprietorships. The core impact goal is to scale these Black women-owned businesses through robust support and unrestricted grant funding. The WEM Hub program prioritizes technical assistance, offering a six-month intensive program that combines online training and in-person meetings. Key areas of focus include expert advice on accounting, financial management, business development, and legal services. Participants also receive ongoing mentorship, engage in peer-to-peer learning sessions, and gain training in communications, public relations, marketing, and leadership skill development. A significant component is the opportunity to establish relationships with participating financial institutions, which is crucial for long-term growth and stability. Expected outcomes include enhanced business acumen, improved financial literacy, and stronger market presence for participating businesses. The program aims for measurable results through the provision of $5,000 in unrestricted grant funds to each business, directly contributing to their scaling efforts. The WFA's strategic priority is to create a tangible pathway for Black women entrepreneurs to not only survive but thrive, thereby reducing economic disparities and contributing to the overall economic health of Arkansas. The underlying theory of change is that by equipping Black women business owners with tailored support, financial resources, and networking opportunities, their businesses will experience accelerated growth, leading to increased economic mobility and wealth creation for the entrepreneurs and their communities.
