The Montgomery County Office of Food Systems Resilience (OFSR), in partnership with the Office of Grants Management (OGM), is seeking grant applications for its 2025 Community Food Assistance Program. This program aims to support and strengthen the local food system by providing direct funding and/or shopping credits to organizations that distribute shelf-stable, fresh food, and/or prepared meals to Montgomery County residents. The initiative aligns with a broader mission to ensure continuity of existing critical community food assistance services while also addressing service gaps within the county. The primary beneficiaries of this program are Montgomery County residents, particularly those in need of food assistance. The program's impact goals are multifaceted: to enhance program effectiveness, standardize data collection practices among food assistance providers, offer greater flexibility and transparency in funding, and ultimately boost the capacity of the provider network. By achieving these goals, the program intends to improve the resilience of the local food system, ensuring that more residents have access to nutritious food. The grant program emphasizes flexibility in programming, supporting a range of project models. Funding priorities include choice pantry models that offer culturally relevant, healthy shelf-stable and fresh food options (such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, and eggs); pre-packed box/bag distributions that feature healthy, locally sourced produce; and the delivery and/or distribution of nutritious, medically and/or preference-tailored prepared meals to households with unique needs. This flexible approach is designed to cater to the diverse needs of the community and the varying capacities of food assistance providers. Expected outcomes include a more robust and responsive food assistance network in Montgomery County, capable of delivering consistent and high-quality services. The standardization of data collection will lead to better understanding of service gaps and program impact, allowing for more strategic resource allocation. Measurable results will likely include increased access to healthy and culturally appropriate food for residents, a stronger network of food assistance providers, and improved resilience of the local food system in the face of challenges. The overall strategic priority is to create a more equitable and sustainable food system that can effectively serve all residents.

The Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund (ULARF) is offering grants for its 2024 cycle, continuing the legacy of Ursula Landsrath, a dedicated animal welfare advocate. Founded in 2019 as a tribute to Ursula, ULARF builds upon her previous work with the Animal Rescue Fund of Virginia, which distributed over $1 million in grants. The fund's mission is deeply aligned with its founder's lifelong commitment to animal welfare, supporting nonprofit organizations that serve or rescue animals within Virginia. This grant program is a direct reflection of Ursula Landsrath's strategic priority to protect and care for animals, ensuring her advocacy continues to have a tangible impact. ULARF targets nonprofit animal welfare organizations that are incorporated and operational in Virginia, serving or rescuing animals in the Commonwealth. These beneficiaries include organizations working with farm, domestic, and wild animals. The overall impact goal is to improve animal welfare in Virginia through various initiatives, ranging from direct care to preventative measures and public education. By supporting these organizations, ULARF aims to create a more humane environment for animals across the state, fostering better health, safety, and reduced suffering. The grant program has clear funding priorities and focuses. These include spay/neuter and Trap Neuter Return programs for feral cats, emergency medical funds for various animal types, costs for emergency repairs to organization facilities, and expenses for public outreach and education programs. Additionally, ULARF prioritizes Virginia-based regional animal assistance organizations that provide support to smaller, local rescue groups. These priorities align with a theory of change that by addressing critical needs like population control, emergency care, infrastructure, and public awareness, a significant positive impact on animal welfare can be achieved. Grants are expected to range from $1,000 to $3,000 per organization, with an overall size of the grant ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in terms of quantitative targets, the expected outcomes include increased spay/neuter rates, improved access to emergency medical care for animals, enhanced operational capacity of rescue facilities, and broader public understanding of animal welfare issues. The foundation's strategic priority is to fund direct services and support infrastructure that directly benefit animals, rather than administrative or fundraising costs, ensuring that the grants lead to direct and measurable improvements in animal well-being.
