Grants for Native American tribal organizations - Women & Girl Services

The Connection, Health, & Equity through Food (CHEF) Grant Program is a collaborative initiative across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Eastern Massachusetts, and Upstate New York, administered by the Maine Council on Aging. The program's core mission is to increase older adults’ equitable access to healthy food and social connection, aligning with a broader goal of addressing systemic issues like food insecurity and social isolation. This grant program seeks to support older adults by fostering programmatic infrastructure, expanding existing programs, and launching innovative new initiatives that cater to their food and social connection needs. The target beneficiaries of the CHEF Grant Program are primarily older adults, with a specific focus on underserved and marginalized populations. These include BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQ+, women, veterans, people living with disabilities, and individuals residing in rural communities. The program's impact goals are centered on enhancing the quality of life for these older adults by improving their access to nutritious food and opportunities for social engagement. Projects that serve diverse older people, veterans, and older people living with disabilities are given priority. The CHEF program prioritizes finding solutions to the root causes of food insecurity and social isolation. These root causes include poverty, transportation barriers, rurality, and language barriers. While the grant does not explicitly detail the foundation's strategic priorities or a formal theory of change, the emphasis on equitable access, addressing systemic issues, and supporting vulnerable populations suggests a strategy focused on community-based interventions and empowerment. The program's design indicates a theory that by investing in local organizations and initiatives, significant improvements can be made in the well-being of older adults. Expected outcomes include increased access to healthy food for older adults, enhanced social connections within communities, and a reduction in the prevalence of food insecurity and social isolation among the target populations. While specific measurable results are not explicitly outlined, the program's focus on data for older people served (50.1% of the overall population served) suggests an intent to track the reach and impact on the primary beneficiary group. The grant duration is not mentioned, but the anticipated grant size of $2,000 – $10,000 for most grants indicates support for projects with tangible, localized impacts.

The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) is pleased to announce the Thriving Entrepreneurs Grant Program, an open and responsive grantmaking opportunity designed to offer flexible funding to organizations. This program aligns with OCF's mission to advance equity, diversity, and inclusion by supporting Oregon's diverse regions and populations. The Foundation is committed to funding across all regions of Oregon, including remote, rural, suburban, and urban communities, and prioritizes investments that creatively address needs and position entrepreneurs to thrive. The Thriving Entrepreneurs Grant specifically targets entrepreneurs who are women, people of color, living in under-resourced rural communities, or working in under-resourced sectors such as consumer products. The program's impact goals include providing flexible funding and prioritized support to organizations serving these priority populations. OCF anticipates awarding $750,000 in 2024, with each grant lasting for one year (12 months), aiming to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem for these underserved groups. Key priorities for the Thriving Entrepreneurs Grant include addressing clear and compelling business community needs, with goals relevant to Oregon's entrepreneurs, including small and micro businesses. Proposals that demonstrate cultural expertise of staff and board when serving specific populations, show meaningful leadership or influence from people with lived experience, reflect realistic goals and solid planning, and demonstrate strong potential to build organizational stability, effectiveness, or capacity are highly valued. Strong community support, a clear communication of OCF's impact, and a realistic plan for securing remaining funds are also critical considerations. The OCF's strategic priorities and theory of change are reflected in its guiding principles: valuing Oregon’s diverse regions and populations, advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion through funding, and prioritizing investments that demonstrate strong community support, solid planning, and wise stewardship. Expected outcomes include positioning entrepreneurs to thrive in Oregon and fostering positive, substantive change. The Foundation prioritizes organizations that primarily serve one or more of the identified priority populations, are reasonably positioned for long-term organizational viability, support OCF in advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion, and reflect a strengths-based orientation.

This grant program, initiated by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and specifically inviting applications for continuation funding through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is deeply committed to advancing civil rights and racial equity within the justice system. It aligns with OJP's broader mission to increase access to justice, support victims of crime and those impacted by the justice system, enhance community safety, protect the public from evolving threats, and foster trust between law enforcement and the community. This solicitation specifically targets organizations and entities that have previously received a letter from BJA to apply, indicating a focus on sustaining and building upon existing, successful BJA initiatives. The primary beneficiaries of this program are individuals and communities affected by the justice system, including crime victims, as well as the general public who benefit from increased community safety and improved law enforcement relations. The impact goals are multifaceted, aiming to achieve a more equitable and just society by addressing systemic issues related to civil rights, ensuring greater access to legal support, and creating safer communities. A significant goal is also to strengthen the relationship and trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve. The program's priorities and focuses are clearly articulated around several key areas: promoting civil rights and racial equity, enhancing access to justice, providing robust support for crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety measures, protecting the public from various forms of crime and emerging threats, and building a foundation of trust between law enforcement and the community. The fact that this is a continuation funding opportunity emphasizes the BJA's commitment to sustained effort and long-term impact in these critical areas. Expected outcomes include tangible improvements in civil rights protections, demonstrable increases in access to justice resources for underserved populations, enhanced services and support for crime victims, a measurable reduction in crime rates, and stronger, more positive relationships between law enforcement and community members. Measurable results would likely encompass metrics such as the number of individuals receiving legal aid, the number of crime victims served, reductions in specific crime categories, and community perception surveys regarding trust in law enforcement. The program's strategic priorities are to ensure that justice initiatives are effective, equitable, and community-centered. The underlying theory of change for this program is that by providing consistent funding and support to proven initiatives focused on civil rights, access to justice, victim support, and community safety, OJP and BJA can facilitate systemic improvements within the justice system. This, in turn, will lead to a more just, equitable, and secure society where trust between law enforcement and the public is rebuilt and maintained. The continuation funding mechanism suggests a belief in the power of sustained, targeted interventions to create lasting positive change.
