This program aligns with the Foundation's mission to support charitable initiatives within the community by providing financial assistance to organizations that are in good standing with the IRS, including 501c(3) charitable entities, educational institutions, churches, and government entities. The grants typically range from $2,500 to $5,000, with a broader size of $1,000 to $10,000 also mentioned, suggesting a flexible approach to funding based on project scope and need. The target beneficiaries for these grants are diverse groups and communities served by eligible organizations. The program aims to achieve significant impact by addressing various community needs as identified by local Community Fund Committees. While some areas like Berthoud have no additional priorities, Estes Valley focuses on Food Security and Music & Arts, Fort Collins prioritizes Water and Workforce, and Loveland emphasizes Community Engagement. These specific priorities indicate the Foundation's strategic approach to addressing localized challenges and fostering community well-being, aiming for measurable results in these key areas. The Foundation's strategic priorities are evident in its focus on supporting established charitable entities and its encouragement of fiscal sponsorship for groups that do not meet the direct eligibility criteria. This demonstrates a commitment to broad community impact while maintaining fiscal responsibility. The theory of change appears to be centered on empowering local organizations to implement projects that directly address identified community needs, thereby creating positive and sustainable change. The expectation is that funded projects will lead to improved food security, enhanced cultural experiences, better water resource management, stronger workforces, and increased community participation, all contributing to a more vibrant Northern Colorado. The Community Grants program is designed to generate expected outcomes such as increased access to essential services, enrichment of local culture, development of critical community infrastructure, and strengthening of civic engagement. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in terms of metrics, the outlined priorities suggest that successful projects would demonstrate tangible improvements in the respective focus areas. For instance, a food security grant would aim for increased access to nutritious food, and a workforce grant would aim for improved job readiness or employment rates. The Foundation's emphasis on eligibility and its clear delineation of what it typically does not fund further refine its strategic priorities, ensuring resources are directed towards impactful charitable work rather than individual ventures, political campaigns, or debt retirement.

The Community Wildfire Risk Reduction for the Built Environment grant, offered by the Oregon State Fire Marshal, aims to enhance wildfire defensible space across Oregon. This initiative is designed to fund wildfire mitigation projects undertaken by structural fire protection agencies, counties, and cities. The overarching goal is to increase the safety and resilience of communities against wildfire threats within the built environment. The grant prioritizes projects that focus on two main categories: Defensible Space Projects and Community Protection Projects. Defensible Space Projects target wildfire mitigation and protection within 100 feet of buildings, allocating approximately 70% of available funds. Examples include incentive programs for private landowners, direct contracts for fire-resistant landscaping around various buildings, and community cleanup or chipper programs. Community Protection Projects extend beyond the immediate vicinity of critical infrastructure to create community-wide fire breaks and other mitigation efforts, such as fuel mitigation on municipal or county properties and the creation of greenways. The target beneficiaries of this grant are structural fire protection agencies, counties, and cities within Oregon, which will then implement projects benefiting private landowners, residents, and the broader community by increasing their protection from wildfires. The grant seeks to achieve measurable outcomes, including a reduction in wildfire risk, an increase in defensible space around buildings, and the establishment of community-wide fire breaks. Projects are expected to directly contribute to enhanced wildfire safety and community resilience. Eligible costs include plant and tree fuel reduction, equipment like chippers, and contractors or non-profit organizations for wildfire fuel reduction and defensible space work. Education, communication, and outreach directly supporting the projects are also allowable, along with a limited allocation for project coordination and indirect costs. The Oregon State Fire Marshal's grant program will prioritize applications based on fire-risk, social vulnerability index, and the clarity of the proposed project, ensuring that funding is directed to areas where it can have the most significant impact.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks applications to develop, implement, and evaluate a human abuse potential (HAP) study of botanical Kratom. FDA has previously warned consumers about the use of Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a plant indigenous to Southeast Asia. Kratom alkaloids have demonstrated both affinity and activity at receptor sites known to be associated with abuse, such as mu opioid receptors. Although Kratom use is prevalent, to date, clinical evaluations of its abuse potential have been limited. The proposed HAP study should be performed in accordance with the guidance for industry, "Assessment of Abuse Potential of Drugs," including (but not limited to) the selection of an appropriate comparator(s) and outcome measures, statistical analyses etc. Interested parties, will also complete the submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application and obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) clearance.
