The 2025 Federal Victims of Crime Act Grant Program, administered by the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program (KGGP), aims to provide direct services to crime victims. While the prompt asks for "foundation mission alignment" and "Foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change," the provided text does not mention a specific foundation but rather a state grants program. Therefore, this breakdown will focus on the program's alignment with its stated purpose of assisting crime victims and its strategic approach as outlined. The grant targets a broad range of crime victims, with a specific focus on those who have experienced adult sexual assault, domestic violence, and child physical and sexual abuse. Additionally, an emphasis is placed on "previously underserved" victims of violent crime, which includes, but is not limited to, victims of federal crimes, survivors of homicide victims, and victims of assault, robbery, gang violence, hate and bias crimes, intoxicated drivers, bank robbery, economic exploitation, fraud, or elder abuse. The overall impact goal is to stabilize victims' lives, address their emotional and physical needs, facilitate their understanding and participation in the criminal justice system, and provide measures of safety. The program prioritizes victims of adult sexual assault, domestic violence, and child physical and sexual abuse, allocating a minimum of 10 percent of each federal fiscal year’s grant to each of these categories. An additional 10 percent minimum is dedicated to previously underserved victims of violent crime. This strategic allocation ensures that funds are directed towards some of the most vulnerable populations. Eligibility extends to units of state or local government, tribal organizations, and nonprofit community and faith-based organizations, with a required 20% non-federal cash or in-kind match. Expected outcomes include improved emotional and physical well-being for crime victims, enhanced stability in their lives post-victimization, increased understanding and participation in the criminal justice system, and improved personal safety through measures like property repair. The grant duration is three years, from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2027, allowing for sustained support and measurable progress in addressing the needs of crime victims across all Kansas counties. The consistent allocation percentages for priority and underserved groups suggest a clear theory of change: by focusing resources on specific, high-need victim populations, the program aims to achieve significant positive impacts on their recovery and safety.

The Social Justice Fund NorthWest (SJF) is offering the 2024 Base Building Grant, aimed at strengthening grassroots organizations in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. This grant directly aligns with SJF's mission to foster social justice by investing in community organizing as a primary strategy. The program focuses on "Base Building," defined as a tactic that expands the number and engagement of people who share a vision for social justice and actively work to achieve it through organized strategies. This approach underscores SJF's strategic priority of empowering communities to drive systemic change. The grant targets organizations committed to community organizing and led by those most directly affected by the issues they address. Specifically, SJF prioritizes organizations with at least 51% leadership from Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities, or those working predominantly in reservation, rural, or small-town communities. The impact goals are to build collective power, widen the base of engaged individuals, develop strong leadership within communities, and implement effective long-term strategies. The expected outcomes include a critical mass of collective power capable of winning and defending policy, cultural, or institutional changes, as well as a diverse and actively engaged membership. SJF's community organizing framework emphasizes four key areas: Collective Power, Widening the Base, Leadership Development, and Strategy and Long-Term Planning. Under Collective Power, the focus is on building a diverse membership and achieving policy or cultural wins. Widening the Base involves fostering authentic relationships with those most affected, recruiting new people, and using varied, tailored communication methods, including face-to-face engagement. Leadership Development ensures clear entry points to leadership, accessible political education, and continuous engagement and agitation. Finally, Strategy and Long-Term Planning requires organizations to develop and adapt a comprehensive base-building plan with clear goals, timelines, infrastructure, and accountability structures. The grant, providing $100,000 over two years ($50,000 annually), is open to nonprofit organizations, tribal agencies, or fiscally sponsored groups with 501(c)3 or 501(c)4 status, or federally recognized American Indian tribal governments. This funding mechanism directly supports SJF's theory of change, which posits that sustained investment in community-led organizing, focused on these core elements, will lead to meaningful and lasting social justice outcomes in the specified regions.
