Grants for County governments - Housing

The Grants for the Arts program, offered by the City and County of San Francisco, specifically targets Parades and Festivals as art and cultural experiences. These events must take place in San Francisco public spaces, offer free admission, and be open to the public, aligning with the foundation's mission to support accessible cultural experiences within the city. This program serves as a critical mechanism to foster community engagement and celebrate diverse cultural expressions, directly contributing to San Francisco's vibrant arts landscape. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are nonprofit 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), or 501(c)(6) organizations based in San Francisco, or those using a San Francisco-based fiscal sponsor. The impact goals revolve around supporting cultural heritage, strengthening community bonds, and celebrating shared cultural interests through public events. The program prioritizes both first-time GFTA grantees and previous grantees who may not have received awards in past cycles, indicating a commitment to nurturing emerging organizations and providing ongoing support to the arts sector. Focus areas for the grants include celebrations of cultural heritage, community, neighborhoods, or shared cultural interests. The funding tiers are designed to accommodate a range of organizational sizes and project scopes, from $10,000 for first-time or previously unsuccessful applicants to $300,000 for large-scale projects up to $15 million. This tiered approach demonstrates a strategic priority to support a broad spectrum of arts and cultural organizations, ensuring that financial assistance is appropriately scaled to the needs of the grantees. The expected outcomes include the successful execution of public parades and festivals that enrich San Francisco's cultural offerings and foster community participation. Measurable results could include the number of attendees at these free public events, the diversity of cultural heritage celebrated, and the demonstrable engagement of specific communities or neighborhoods. The grant duration of two years, from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2026, allows for sustained planning and execution of these initiatives, reflecting a theory of change that long-term investment in cultural programming leads to more robust and impactful community benefits.

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) is offering a Business Resiliency program, funded by federal Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) Funds. This grant aims to support the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or acquisition of property for homeless shelters, with the goal of increasing their capacity to pre-COVID levels. The program is federally funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and requires all awarded projects to demonstrate a connection to the prevention, preparation, and response to the coronavirus. The primary objective is to provide stable, safe, and adequate housing for individuals experiencing homelessness, aligning with the broader mission of community development and support for vulnerable populations. The target beneficiaries are homeless individuals, with the impact goal of increasing the capacity of shelters to serve more people and improve living conditions. This program directly addresses the critical need for enhanced housing infrastructure in the wake of the pandemic, ensuring that communities are better equipped to handle homelessness. A key priority of this grant is to fund projects that meet the National Objective of Low to Moderate Income for the benefiting businesses, ensuring that the assistance reaches those most in need. The program also emphasizes robust collaboration among local entities, requiring letters of support from a minimum of five community homelessness support services. This fosters a coordinated approach to addressing homelessness and ensures comprehensive service delivery. Expected outcomes include an increase in the number of available shelter beds and improved facilities for homeless individuals. While the total funding amount is yet to be precisely determined, it will be at least $15 million, with individual awards ranging from $500,000 to $2 million. The number of grants will be based on the amounts requested. The project period is anticipated to run from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2026, allowing for a substantial duration to achieve the program's objectives. Measurable results will be tied to the increased capacity of shelters and their ability to provide stable and safe housing. Eligibility criteria require entities to be registered in the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) Grantee Portal, possess valid FEIN and UEI numbers, have current and public SAM.gov registrations, and be in good standing with state and federal lists. Eligible applicants must also be units of local government receiving "Entitlement" CDBG funding, have a current Shelter Funding Strategy, and remain compliant with all applicable nondiscrimination laws.

This fellowship aligns with AF’s mission by fostering individuals who can convene people around local issues and advance the ideas of liberty, which are core to the organization’s values.

The program's impact goals include cultivating a new generation of grassroots leaders capable of addressing diverse community needs, from advocating for the unhoused to empowering Gen Z to run for office and sustaining global cultures.

Participants will gain confidence, skills, and knowledge in areas such as recruitment, theory of change, event planning, volunteer management, marketing, leadership, and strategy through training and mentorship workshops with experts. This comprehensive approach reflects a strategic priority to build well-rounded and effective organizers. Expected outcomes include participants creating meaningful, locally-based organizing projects to improve their cities or communities. Top projects are eligible for additional training and support, which serves as a measurable result of the program's success and a further investment in promising initiatives.

The Oregon Community Foundation is offering flexible funding to organizations addressing pressing needs across Oregon. This grant program aligns with the foundation's mission to foster equitable access to resources, particularly for communities historically experiencing bias, discrimination, or underinvestment. The foundation encourages a wide range of nonprofits to apply, seeking to support initiatives that deepen, enhance, or grow work within their communities. The program specifically targets several Oregon populations who have historically faced significant challenges.

The impact goal is to clearly address community-identified needs and reduce systemic inequities for these populations.

The expected outcomes are to strengthen organizations and enable them to better serve their communities through enhanced programs, improved organizational capacity, or updated infrastructure. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided text, the emphasis on addressing community-identified needs and "significant expansion" implies a focus on quantifiable improvements in service delivery, reach, or the well-being of target populations.

Assembly Bill (AB) 716 established the California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) in 2002. Funds for the CCHE came from Proposition 40, the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002. $122 million in grants were distributed competitively for the acquisition, restoration, preservation, and interpretation of historical and cultural resources.
