The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) is offering matching grants through its Surface Water Matching Planning Grant program. This initiative, developed by the Delaware Water Infrastructure Advisory Council (WIAC), aims to improve water quality in developed landscapes within Delaware's impaired watersheds. The program aligns with a mission to assist local governments in proactively addressing water quality challenges, particularly through planning and preliminary engineering efforts for surface water improvement projects. The grants target Delaware county and municipal governments, conservation districts, and estuary programs. While non-profit organizations, educational institutions, community organizations, and homeowner’s associations cannot apply directly, they are encouraged to partner with eligible applicants. The primary impact goal is to enhance water quality in impaired watersheds by supporting planning, preliminary engineering, and feasibility analysis of surface water improvement projects. These projects can include retrofitting stormwater systems, establishing green technology practices, restoring streams and wetlands, conducting small watershed studies, and developing master surface water and drainage plans. The program prioritizes proposals that demonstrate clear benefits to water quality within impaired watersheds. Specific focuses include planning and/or preliminary design for projects associated with watershed management plans, community stormwater management improvements in existing developments and municipalities, and restoration or retrofit projects designed to yield water quality benefits. This strategic approach ensures that funding is directed towards foundational planning and design efforts that are critical for long-term water quality improvement. Expected outcomes include the preparation of surface water projects for future funding through the Delaware Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Fund (WPCRLF). Measurable results will be seen in the successful completion of planning, preliminary engineering, and feasibility analyses, leading to actionable project designs ready for loan applications. The funding, capped at $50,000 with a 1:1 cash match requirement, is designed to jumpstart projects, laying the groundwork for significant water quality improvements across Delaware. The grant duration is two years, emphasizing a focused and efficient planning period to achieve these preparatory outcomes.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Grant Program, offered through the United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia in partnership with the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), aims to provide federal funds for comprehensive, collaborative, and community-based approaches to reducing violent crime. The program's mission aligns with supporting organizations within the Western District of Virginia in their efforts to mitigate gun and gang violence. This initiative seeks to foster public safety by supporting a broad range of activities, including deterrence efforts, evidence-based programs, proven enforcement strategies, and the prosecution of significant firearm, controlled substance, and violent crime offenses. The grant targets local and state law enforcement agencies, local and state governmental entities, educational institutions, and 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations located in or serving the cities of Roanoke, Lynchburg, Danville, and Charlottesville (including Albemarle County). Multi-jurisdictional partnerships are also eligible. The primary impact goal is to reduce violent crime through a full range of appropriate strategies. Expected outcomes include a decrease in gun and gang violence, stronger community trust in law enforcement, and a more effective justice system in addressing violent offenses. The program prioritizes four key PSN design features. "Community Engagement" emphasizes meaningful communication and relationship-building between communities, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other stakeholders to build trust and shared public safety values. "Prevention and Intervention Effective" focuses on problem-solving approaches that address violent crime by leveraging resources like education, social services, job training, and reentry programs to provide individuals with skills and alternatives. "Focused and Strategic Enforcement" directs efforts towards identifying and addressing problem places and prolific offenders driving violent crime, often involving gangs and violent street groups. This includes utilizing technology and analytics, developing enforcement strategies, and deterring violence through public awareness. Finally, "Accountability" highlights the importance of analyzing and assessing the impact of PSN strategies on violent crime and community health, often in partnership with research entities, to ensure the program's success and credibility. The funding available is approximately $302,000, with grants awarded for a twelve-month period, potentially extending to 24 months based on need.

The Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) is offering the 2024 Vibrant Communities Grants, a program designed to support single art projects across various counties in Georgia. This initiative aligns with the GCA's mission to increase the reach of arts grants statewide, as mandated by the Georgia Legislature. The program aims to fund diverse arts programs in as many counties as possible, thereby fostering vibrant cultural landscapes and promoting artistic engagement within communities. The grants are intended to enhance local arts scenes and provide opportunities for artistic expression and appreciation. The target beneficiaries of the Vibrant Communities Grants are non-profit organizations with 501(c)3 status, local government entities, public libraries, and schools, colleges, or universities located within specific eligible Georgia counties. The impact goals are to support and expand arts programs, ensuring broad access to cultural activities. This includes enabling various artistic endeavors such as performances, art exhibits, educational workshops, and artist residencies. By funding these projects, GCA seeks to enrich communities, provide creative outlets, and promote the arts as a vital component of local development. The program prioritizes a wide array of arts projects, including theatre productions, concerts, class field trips, art exhibits, murals, art festivals, and art classes. Notably, due to the ongoing impact of COVID, online programs are also eligible for funding. The focus is on projects that can be completed between October 15, 2024, and June 1, 2025, and must take place within the applicant's county. A key requirement is a 50% cash match for the grant request amount, emphasizing community investment and shared responsibility. Projects promoting specific religious doctrines or political parties are not eligible. Expected outcomes include a broader distribution of arts funding across Georgia, leading to an increase in local arts programming and engagement. Measurable results would be the number of funded projects, the types of artistic disciplines supported, and the geographical spread of these initiatives across the eligible counties. The grants are expected to range from $1,000 to $5,000 per project, ensuring that a greater number of smaller-scale, impactful projects can be realized. This strategic approach reflects the GCA's theory of change, which posits that by decentralizing arts funding and making it accessible to a wider range of organizations and counties, they can cultivate more vibrant, culturally rich communities throughout the state.
