Saint Paul – Ramsey County Public Health (SPRCPH) is offering grants to support activities, programs, and initiatives that address public health issues within the community. The core mission of this grant program is to improve community health, aligning with SPRCPH's broader commitment to public well-being. This initiative directly supports building capacity, planning, developing, implementing, or evaluating work that addresses the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) priorities. The target beneficiaries are organizations registered with the Minnesota Secretary of State or those working with a fiscal agent, who are actively engaged in addressing public health concerns in Minnesota counties. The impact goals are to significantly improve health outcomes by focusing on critical CHIP priority areas. These include Racial and Health Equity; Healthy Eating, Active Living, and Tobacco-Free Living; Access to Health Care Services; Mental Health and Well-being; and Violence Prevention. The grant program prioritizes activities within four key categories: Capacity Building, Planning and Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Capacity Building examples include start-up costs, resources and supplies, and client or community relationship development. Planning and Development encompasses community outreach, program design, service launch, and training. Implementation focuses on programs, services, and activities related to identified CHIP priorities, while Evaluation involves designing evaluations, satisfaction surveys, and process and outcome evaluations. SPRCPH anticipates awarding up to eight grants, with each grant being up to $30,000, for a total of approximately $240,000. These grants are intended to support 12 months of activities. The expected outcomes include strengthening public health infrastructure, developing innovative programs, and directly addressing the identified CHIP priorities to create healthier communities. Measurable results will be determined through evaluation activities, assessing both the process ("How much did we do?") and the ultimate impact ("Is anyone better off?"). The strategic priorities and theory of change are centered on investing in community-led initiatives that directly tackle the root causes of health disparities and promote holistic well-being across Ramsey County.

The 2024-25 Physical and Digital Infrastructure Security Grant (DF) Program for Health Care Facilities, offered by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), aims to enhance physical and digital security for healthcare facilities in California. This program aligns with the foundational mission of protecting vital health services and ensuring the safety of facilities that provide abortion-related and reproductive healthcare, which are often targets of violence and vandalism. The grant seeks to mitigate these threats, thereby supporting the continuity and accessibility of critical healthcare services across the state. The target beneficiaries of this grant are currently licensed community health centers, tribal health programs, non-profit hospitals not part of large health systems, and non-profit organizations whose membership includes such licensed facilities. All eligible applicants must be located in California and provide abortion-related services (or referrals) and reproductive healthcare services. The impact goal is to strengthen the security infrastructure of these facilities, creating safer environments for both patients and staff, and ensuring uninterrupted access to essential healthcare. The program's priorities and focuses include providing funding for physical facility enhancements, such as improved security measures for buildings, and digital security enhancements to protect against cyber threats and data breaches. The grant specifically targets facilities that may be vulnerable to violence and vandalism due to the nature of the services they provide. The funding aims to directly address these vulnerabilities, thereby safeguarding the operational capacity of these crucial healthcare providers. Expected outcomes and measurable results include a demonstrable improvement in the physical and digital security posture of funded facilities. This could involve a reduction in incidents of vandalism or violence, enhanced data protection, and increased patient and staff safety. The grant period is from September 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026, during which time facilities are expected to implement and integrate these security upgrades. Applicants can request up to $750,000 from the total available funding of $7,798,822. While specific "Foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change" are not explicitly detailed for Cal OES in the provided text, the underlying theory of change for this grant program appears to be that by providing targeted funding for security enhancements, the state can directly reduce risks to essential healthcare infrastructure. This proactive investment is expected to lead to greater resilience for healthcare facilities, particularly those offering sensitive services, thereby upholding public health and safety and ensuring that all Californians have access to necessary medical care without fear or disruption.
