The Twin County Community Foundation (TCCF) is offering its 2025 grant program, aligning with its mission to support qualified 501(c)(3) organizations or government entities serving Carroll County, Grayson County, and the City of Galax in Virginia. The foundation aims to promote and improve the health of citizens by addressing unmet needs, supporting health education, and funding programs geared toward improving and/or reducing illness and disease. This program offers three funding opportunities: Project-Based, Capacity Building, and Capital Needs applications. Target beneficiaries for these grants are the citizens of Carroll and Grayson Counties and the City of Galax, particularly those with unmet healthcare needs, those affected by obesity, health and nutritional issues, mental health challenges, and substance abuse. The impact goals include improving overall community health, strengthening organizations serving these areas, and fostering new projects that address critical needs not traditionally covered by other funding sources. The TCCF prioritizes projects that meet specific health-related needs such as unmet healthcare needs, obesity, health and nutritional issues, mental health, health education, substance abuse prevention, and environmental health. Additionally, the Board places importance on projects accompanied by matching funds, those with minimal administrative overhead (preferring support for direct staff positions over administrative roles), and those that are not recurring unless absolutely necessary. A key strategic priority is to encourage new and innovative projects. Expected outcomes include measurable improvements in community health indicators, stronger and more sustainable non-profit organizations, increased access to vital services, and the development of new programs addressing identified health disparities. For example, Project-Based Grants require clear demonstrations of community need, measurable outcomes, and activities designed to meet those needs. Capacity Building Grants aim to strengthen organizational skills, abilities, processes, and resources, leading to more viable and impactful organizations. The TCCF's theory of change is rooted in the belief that by investing in these key areas and supporting robust, efficient organizations, they can effectively contribute to a healthier and more resilient Twin County community.

The City of Chico Arts Grant Program aims to support local arts organizations and artists, enabling them to offer high-quality arts and cultural work, performances, and exhibitions to the Chico community. This program aligns with a mission to enhance community engagement in the arts and ensure accessibility for all residents. The grants are intended to act as "seed" monies, fostering new projects and initiatives rather than providing ongoing operational support, thereby encouraging artistic innovation and community enrichment. The target beneficiaries include nonprofit arts and cultural organizations operating within the city of Chico with a two-year history of producing or presenting, as well as individual artists applying under the sponsorship of an eligible 501(c)3 nonprofit.

The impact goals center on increasing community access to and engagement in arts and cultural experiences, fostering artistic rigor, and demonstrating strong community support for the arts. The program prioritizes projects that deliver or support opportunities for community engagement, demonstrate artistic rigor and thoughtful planning, show strong community support, and provide inclusive service to diverse and underserved populations. "Diversity" is defined broadly to include differences in ability, age, belief, culture, ethnicity, gender, language, race, and sexual orientation. Funds can be used for various purposes, including projects, events, exhibitions, performances, or capital improvement and equipment projects that enhance an organization's capacity to deliver arts and cultural services. Expected outcomes include a more vibrant and accessible arts scene within Chico, with a greater number of community members participating in and benefiting from arts and cultural activities. Measurable results could involve tracking the number of projects supported, the diversity of audiences reached, and the demonstrated community engagement and support for funded initiatives. While not explicitly stated as a "theory of change," the program's strategy implicitly posits that by providing targeted funding to local arts entities, it can cultivate a richer cultural environment, foster community cohesion, and ensure equitable access to artistic expression, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life in Chico. The grant's duration of one year and the requirement for matching funds underscore a strategic approach to maximize impact and encourage local investment in the arts.
