The California Energy Commission (CEC) is offering the INDIGO Program grant to support the deployment of advanced decarbonization and/or grid support technologies at California industrial facilities. This initiative aims to promote electrification and significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the industrial sector. The program aligns with the CEC's mission to advance clean energy and reduce climate-warming pollution, specifically targeting the industrial sector's environmental impact. The grant targets a broad range of beneficiaries within California's industrial sector, including existing industrial facilities, utilities, equipment manufacturers, energy service companies, project aggregators, and project developers. The impact goals are multi-faceted, focusing on reducing fossil fuel and thermal energy usage, decreasing criteria air pollutants and carbon footprints, and supporting electrical grid reliability, especially during net peak periods. Projects are particularly encouraged to benefit priority populations by reducing air pollutants and engaging directly with low-income or disadvantaged communities. The program's priorities and focuses include deploying cutting-edge, emerging industrial decarbonization technologies that demonstrate cost-effectiveness and scalability. Key project goals include electrifying industrial processes, maximizing GHG emission reductions, driving the scalability of project technology to other facilities and industries, reducing electrical demand during net peak periods, and providing air pollution benefits to priority populations. Entities associated with oil and gas production or processing are ineligible, as are food and beverage industries already receiving funding for the same projects from CEC’s Food Production Investment Program (FPIP). Expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around the adoption of electrification and other eligible decarbonization technologies, leading to quantifiable reductions in annual GHG emissions and other criteria air emissions at industrial processing facilities. Additionally, the program anticipates improved grid reliability through the adoption of commercially available and emerging technologies. Successful projects are expected to demonstrate the potential for widespread adoption across multiple industrial facilities, fostering increased confidence in these advanced technologies. The CEC's strategic priorities, as evidenced by the INDIGO Program, center on accelerating California’s transition to a clean energy economy by supporting technological innovation and deployment in key sectors. The theory of change behind this grant is that by providing significant funding for the demonstration and deployment of cutting-edge decarbonization and grid support technologies in industrial settings, the CEC can catalyze widespread adoption, leading to substantial reductions in GHG emissions, improved air quality, enhanced grid stability, and equitable benefits for all Californians, particularly in vulnerable communities. With up to $46,200,000 available for grants, individual projects can receive between $4,000,000 and $10,000,000. This substantial funding aims to incentivize large-scale, impactful projects that can serve as models for future industrial decarbonization efforts across the state.

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is offering the 2025 High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) Local Education Agency (LEA) Grant. This grant aims to support DC public LEAs in establishing, strengthening, and expanding evidence-based tutoring programs within their schools. The core mission of this grant is to address learning acceleration for DC students, with a particular emphasis on those identified as economically disadvantaged. While the foundation's specific strategic priorities and theory of change are not explicitly detailed as separate entities in the provided text, the grant's design implicitly aligns with a theory of change that posits that targeted, high-impact tutoring for at-risk students will lead to improved academic outcomes and reduced educational disparities. The target beneficiaries of the HIT LEA Grant are DC public school students, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged. The grant focuses on helping LEAs implement programs that can provide significant educational support to these students. The impact goals are to launch, strengthen, and expand evidence-based tutoring programs, ultimately leading to improved academic performance and educational equity for the students served. The priorities of the grant clearly revolve around supporting LEAs that demonstrate a commitment to implementing HIT programs, either through existing efforts or plans for the upcoming school year. The grant prioritizes funding for programs that demonstrate a commitment to high-impact tutoring. Eligible LEAs must show prior engagement in implementing HIT programs as a key part of their learning acceleration strategy, which could include staff-led programs, engagement with third-party providers, or participation in professional development for designing HIT programs. Furthermore, the grant specifically targets schools where at least 40% of the student population is economically disadvantaged, or where at least 80% of students in the OSSE grant-supported HIT program are economically disadvantaged. This focus ensures that the funding reaches the students most in need of support. Expected outcomes include the successful establishment and expansion of evidence-based tutoring programs across DC public schools. Measurable results are tied directly to the number of students served and the duration of the tutoring. Funding categories are structured to incentivize longer-term programming, with $1,000 for each student receiving 20 weeks or more of HIT programming, $800 for 16-19 weeks, and an additional $200 for summer programming of 4 weeks or more. This clear metric allows for the tracking of the reach and intensity of the tutoring interventions. Additionally, eligible LEAs are required to ensure that school leadership attends professional development and communities of practice, indicating an expected outcome of enhanced capacity within schools to effectively manage and sustain HIT programs.
