The City of Bakersfield is offering competitive grants for property and/or business owners within designated Downtown business district corridors: 18th, 19th streets and Wall Street Alley (between F and Q streets), and H Street and Chester Avenue (between 24th Street and Truxtun Avenue). The grants are specifically intended for large-scale exterior façade improvements to eligible properties and applicants within these areas. This initiative is funded by $1.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, demonstrating a commitment to local economic recovery and revitalization. While the prompt asks for "foundation mission alignment," the context indicates this is a city-led grant, and its mission is aligned with urban development and supporting local businesses impacted by economic downturns. The target beneficiaries for this program include small businesses (defined as having no more than 500 employees), non-profit organizations (tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3)), and businesses within "impacted industries." Impacted industries are those that experienced a negative economic impact during the pandemic, specifically citing tourism, travel, and hospitality. Other industries are considered impacted if they experienced at least 8 percent employment loss from pre-pandemic levels or comparable economic impacts. The impact goal is to stimulate economic recovery and enhance the aesthetic and functional appeal of the downtown business corridors, thereby fostering a more vibrant and attractive commercial environment. The program's priorities and focuses are clearly on exterior façade improvements. The City anticipates awarding funding to 4-6 projects, with individual grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. For awarded funding of $100,000 and over, a 10% private investment match is required, along with a public hearing before the City Council. This matching requirement encourages community investment and shared responsibility in the revitalization efforts. The grant duration is two years, providing a reasonable timeframe for project completion. Expected outcomes include visible improvements to the downtown business districts, increased private investment in the local economy, and support for businesses and non-profits that have been economically impacted. The measurable results are tied to the number of projects funded (4-6 anticipated), the total amount of ARPA funding allocated ($1.5 million), and the specific improvements made to property exteriors. The strategic priority here is the revitalization of key downtown commercial areas, using ARPA funds to mitigate the economic effects of the pandemic and promote long-term community resilience and growth. The theory of change posits that by investing in exterior improvements and supporting local businesses, the City can create a more appealing and economically robust downtown core, attracting more visitors and fostering greater community engagement.

The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation's Community Grant opportunity is designed to provide statewide support to communities and nonprofit organizations throughout Arkansas. Its primary mission alignment is to focus on oral health education and services, specifically targeting underserved and uninsured Arkansas residents. This grant program is a direct reflection of the foundation's strategic priority to increase access to oral health care, particularly through community partnerships that fund preventative services and/or treatment. The target beneficiaries of these grants include underserved individuals of all ages, ethnicities, genders, and socio-economic statuses in Arkansas. The overarching impact goal is to improve oral health outcomes by increasing access to dental care and promoting good oral health practices. The program supports transactional projects and services that aim to achieve this goal, aligning with the foundation's theory of change that by funding preventative services and treatment, health disparities can be reduced and overall community well-being enhanced. The grant program has two main focus areas: Prevention and Treatment. Under Prevention, the grants aim to provide preventive and basic oral healthcare needs for the community. Under Treatment, the focus is on treating at-risk or low-income populations with existing oral health conditions. The grant-making focus specifically supports projects centered on increasing access to both treatment and preventative care, as well as services that promote good oral health practices. Expected outcomes include providing oral health treatment, education, and disease prevention services; increasing access to oral health services for underserved Arkansans; and promoting collaboration across a wide range of health providers in the state. While measurable results are not explicitly detailed in terms of specific metrics, the prioritization of grant requests incorporating a clear oral health focus, a detailed project plan, active collaboration, inclusion of diverse groups, referral protocols, wrap-around support, and the initiation of oral health programs in underserved counties all point to an emphasis on tangible, community-level impact. Community Grants range from $2,500 up to $40,000 per organization, and funds can be used for programmatic, operational, capital needs, and dental clinic expenses.

The Pinellas County Drug Abuse Trust Fund Grant offers $35,000 for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, with individual awards ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. This grant program is specifically designed to support one-time-only, non-recurring expenditures related to alcohol and drug abuse. Eligible uses include equipment, special projects, training, renovations, and formalized prevention activities. The program explicitly excludes food and beverage reimbursements. The overarching mission of this grant is to enhance local efforts in combating substance abuse through targeted financial assistance. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are nonprofit organizations that provide alcohol and/or drug use treatment and/or prevention programs. To be eligible, these organizations must have at least one client-accessible office or service location within Pinellas County, Florida. A crucial eligibility criterion is that applicant organizations must be licensed as a substance abuse treatment provider under Chapter 397 of the Florida Statutes, ensuring that funding supports qualified and regulated service providers. The impact goal is to strengthen the infrastructure and capacity of these organizations to deliver effective treatment and prevention services to the community. The grant prioritizes non-recurring expenditures, focusing on initiatives that introduce new capabilities, improve existing services, or expand prevention efforts without creating ongoing financial commitments. This focus includes investments in equipment to enhance program delivery, special projects that address specific community needs, training to improve staff expertise, renovations to create more conducive environments for treatment, and formalized prevention activities to reduce the incidence of substance abuse. The grant's strategic priority is to support tangible, impactful improvements rather than operational overhead. Expected outcomes include improved service delivery through updated equipment, enhanced staff capabilities due to specialized training, better facilities for clients, and broader reach of prevention programs within Pinellas County. Measurable results would involve the implementation of new programs or equipment, the number of staff trained, the completion of renovation projects, and the execution of specific prevention initiatives. While not explicitly stated, the underlying theory of change is that by investing in the operational and programmatic capacities of qualified nonprofit organizations, Pinellas County can effectively reduce substance abuse and its associated negative impacts on the community.
