The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is offering grant funds through its Combatting Hate Crimes Grant Program. This program aims to minimize bias-motivated incidents by providing competitive grants to local governments that have established partnerships with eligible non-profit, 501(c)3 institutions and organizations. These organizations are either current targets or at risk of being targets of hate crimes based on race, religious conviction, color, gender, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or national origin. The broader mission of this initiative aligns with public safety and social justice, seeking to protect vulnerable communities and promote an inclusive environment free from bias-motivated violence. The primary beneficiaries of this program are local governments and their partner non-profit, 501(c)3 institutions, and similarly situated organizations within their jurisdictions. These organizations are at risk for targeted, bias-motivated violence. The impact goal is to reduce the occurrence of hate crimes by strengthening the security and resilience of these at-risk entities. Expected outcomes include enhanced physical and cybersecurity, improved staff preparedness to respond to incidents, and a decrease in vulnerabilities identified through threat assessments. The program strategically prioritizes localities that demonstrate a proactive approach to risk mitigation, specifically those that have conducted threat assessments with local crime prevention officers. The program's focus is on funding projects that enhance security and preparedness against hate crimes. This includes support for target hardening activities, critical technology and infrastructure, and security and monitoring equipment. Additionally, funds can be used for contractual security services, such as on-site security, cybersecurity activities, and inspection and screening systems. Training is also a key priority, encompassing security-related training for employed and volunteer staff, response to serious incidents, and terrorism awareness. Personnel funding is available for part-time staff dedicated to performing security assessments for non-profit organizations. The grant duration is a twelve-month period, from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. The total funding available for the Combatting Hate Crimes Grant Program for the FY2025 fiscal year is $3,500,000, with a maximum request of $150,000 per locality. Success will be measured by the implementation of approved security enhancements, documented training completion, and the capacity building of non-profit organizations to identify and address vulnerabilities. The program's theory of change posits that by providing resources for enhanced security, training, and threat assessment, at-risk organizations will become less susceptible to bias-motivated violence, thereby contributing to a safer community for all.

The 2025 Arts & History Re-Grant Program, administered by the Cape May County Government in New Jersey, offers funding to support arts and history-related projects and ongoing programs within Cape May County. The program's mission aligns with fostering community engagement and increasing exposure to arts and history.

Special Project funding is for single, specific arts or history-related events. GPS supports major, ongoing arts programs with multiple events or activities throughout the year. GOS is designed for organizations whose primary charter is arts or history-related, providing general operating support to groups that consistently increase exposure to art/history in the community. The program prioritizes projects and programs that take place within Cape May County and, for General Operating Support, requires the applying organization to be located within the county. Expected outcomes include a more vibrant cultural scene in Cape May County, increased opportunities for residents to engage with arts and history, and the sustained operation of local arts and history organizations. Measurable results would involve the number and diversity of projects funded, the reach and attendance of programs, and the organizational stability of grant recipients. The strategic priorities revolve around making arts and history accessible, supporting the infrastructure of cultural organizations, and ensuring fiscal responsibility, particularly for General Operating Support grants. The program's theory of change posits that by providing targeted financial support, local cultural initiatives will thrive, leading to a more enriched and engaged community.
