Grants for Nonprofits - Health

The Korean American Community Foundation of San Francisco (KACF-SF) is accepting requests for proposals from community-based organizations serving Northern California. KACF-SF is dedicated to fostering a thriving Bay Area Korean American community through philanthropic efforts. The grant program directly aligns with this mission by supporting organizations that increase the cultural competency and language accessibility of vital programs for the Korean American community, thus strengthening the community's overall well-being. The grant program targets community-based organizations that are on the frontlines of service delivery to Korean Americans in Northern California. The primary impact goal is to enhance access to critical social services and support regional projects that align with KACF-SF's grantmaking objectives. This is achieved by ensuring that language barriers and cultural nuances do not prevent Korean Americans from receiving the support they need. KACF-SF focuses its investments on five key issue areas: Physical & Mental Health, Senior Care & Empowerment, Domestic & Family Safety, Civic Engagement, and Youth Empowerment. Within these areas, the Foundation is particularly interested in programs that deliver critical services to Korean Americans in need, provide greater access to social services through language assistance, and support regional projects that are consistent with the Foundation's grantmaking goals. This strategic focus ensures that funding addresses the most pressing needs within the community. The expected outcomes include increased access to culturally competent and language-accessible programs for the Korean American community in Northern California. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the "Grants up to $50,000" and "Grant Period Up to 3 years," the theory of change is implicit: by funding organizations that address cultural and linguistic barriers, KACF-SF believes it will empower the Korean American community, improve their quality of life, and strengthen the community's infrastructure.

The Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, in partnership with the County of Santa Cruz Health Services Agency Behavioral Health Division, is offering grants to address opioid-related disorders and harm. This initiative aligns with the Foundation's mission to improve community well-being by tackling critical public health issues. The program focuses on a comprehensive approach, encompassing prevention, early intervention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are individuals and communities affected by opioid-related disorders within Santa Cruz County, California. The goal is to reduce the incidence and impact of opioid misuse, increase access to effective treatment and recovery services, and ultimately save lives. Nonprofit organizations providing services within Santa Cruz County are eligible to apply, ensuring that local needs are met through community-based solutions. The program prioritizes a multi-faceted strategy to combat the opioid crisis. Funding is available for a range of activities, from preventative education and early intervention programs to harm reduction strategies such as Naloxone distribution, as well as comprehensive treatment and long-term recovery support. This broad focus aims to create a robust system of care that addresses the crisis at various stages, from initial risk to sustained recovery. Expected outcomes include a measurable decrease in opioid overdose deaths and non-fatal overdoses, an increase in the number of individuals accessing treatment and recovery services, and an overall improvement in public health indicators related to opioid use. While the document does not explicitly detail the Foundation's strategic priorities or theory of change, the focus on community partnerships and a continuum of care for a pressing public health issue strongly suggests an approach centered on collaborative action and sustainable, measurable impact within the local community. A total of $810,000 will be distributed in Fiscal Year 2024/2025, with individual awards up to $400,000, and grantees will have up to two years to expend funds, by June 30, 2026.

Technical assistance for policy initiatives that address social determinants of health6 (SDOH), such as improving access to quality affordable housing, healthy foods, or transportation, is especially encouraged. Award recipients will also support TA for cities, counties, and/or states on Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) priority topics such as maternal and infant mortality and readiness for obstetric emergencies, and emerging MCH issues (recent examples of which include congenital syphilis, environmental health threats, Medicaid redetermination, and vaccine promotion).
