The Re+ Circular Economy Grant Program, supported by the King County Solid Waste Division (SWD), is designed to foster projects that actively minimize waste, extend the lifespan of materials, and rejuvenate natural systems. This initiative directly aligns with the broader mission of promoting a circular economy, moving beyond traditional linear models of production and consumption. By focusing on prevention and reuse upstream, and robust recycling actions downstream, the program seeks to create a more sustainable material flow within King County, while also addressing and reducing existing inequities. The program targets a diverse range of beneficiaries, including nonprofit organizations, fiscally sponsored organizations, businesses, self-employed individuals, tribal governments, and universities/colleges that operate within or support communities in King County (excluding Seattle and Milton). The overarching impact goals are to significantly reduce the volume of materials generated and subsequently sent to the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill, and to enhance the overall sustainability and equity of King County's solid waste system. This is achieved by supporting projects that offer higher uses for materials, focus on waste prevention, or improve the quality, quantity, and availability of recycling infrastructure. The Re+ Circular Economy Grant has two primary focus areas: Prevention and Reuse, and Recycling. Prevention and Reuse projects encompass efforts to reduce material consumption, build infrastructure for reusable products, increase food rescue, and encourage sharing or donating items. Recycling projects aim to create or expand markets for recycled materials (including organics), improve the quality and access to recycling in various communities, and even commercialize technologies that replace virgin materials with recycled content. Projects addressing plastic, paper, and organics (food waste, yard waste, and wood) are given higher priority during the evaluation process, reflecting a strategic emphasis on key waste streams. With approximately $2.2 million in grant funding available for the 2024-25 cycle, the program expects measurable outcomes such as increased food rescue for human and animal consumption, stimulated demand for reused and recycled products, expanded access to reuse and recycling programs, and enhanced collection and processing capacity for recyclable materials. Furthermore, the program anticipates the commercialization of new technologies that utilize recycled content and the development of new uses for recycled materials, all demonstrating future waste diversion potential. The King County Solid Waste Division's strategic priority is a whole system approach that balances upstream prevention with downstream recycling, underpinned by a theory of change that by supporting innovative projects in these areas, King County can achieve substantial reductions in landfill waste and foster a more equitable and resilient circular economy.

The Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program (THCPP) offers Planning Grants designed to assist counties in developing comprehensive construction plans and specifications for full courthouse restoration projects. The core mission of this grant aligns with historic preservation efforts, aiming to restore these significant structures to their original historic period while simultaneously ensuring they meet contemporary standards for safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. This dual focus ensures that the historical integrity of the courthouses is maintained while also making them functional and compliant with modern requirements, reflecting a broader strategic priority of sustainable preservation. The primary beneficiaries of the THCPP Planning Grants are Texas counties that possess historic courthouses in need of restoration. The immediate impact goal is to provide these counties with the necessary documentation—specifically, 95% complete construction plans and specifications—to advance their restoration initiatives. By achieving this, the program facilitates a crucial preparatory step, allowing counties to become "shovel ready" and significantly increasing their eligibility and competitiveness for future restoration funding. This directly supports the foundation's theory of change by removing a key barrier to large-scale preservation projects: the lack of detailed, professional planning. The program's priorities are clearly focused on the meticulous planning and preparation phase of courthouse restoration. This involves ensuring that the generated construction plans and specifications are not only historically accurate but also incorporate current standards for safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. A key focus is to equip counties with high-quality documents that will serve as a strong foundation for future funding applications, with the incentive of gaining up to 10 additional points for being "shovel ready." This strategic emphasis on preparedness and quality planning underpins the program's approach to maximizing preservation outcomes. The expected outcomes of the THCPP Planning Grants are multi-faceted. Firstly, counties will produce detailed construction plans and specifications that are 95% complete, which is a measurable result indicating the readiness for full-scale restoration. Secondly, these documents will enable eligible counties to apply for subsequent restoration funding cycles, with the program anticipating a higher success rate for counties with approved plans. The ultimate, long-term impact goal is the successful restoration of historic courthouses across Texas, ensuring their continued use and appreciation while meeting modern demands. This contributes to the foundation's overarching strategic priority of preserving cultural heritage and ensuring the longevity of these important public buildings.
