The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida is offering grant applications to nonprofit organizations with a primary focus on early childhood. These grants are specifically designed to support the growth of creative and efficient services for at-risk children under six years old in Duval County. The foundation's mission, as evidenced by this grant, is to invest in early learning centers and provide support for parents as caregivers, aligning with a broader strategic priority to foster a nurturing environment for the region's youngest and most vulnerable population. The target beneficiaries of this program are at-risk children under six years old in Duval County. The grants aim to create a significant impact by improving the quality of early childhood education and care. This includes strengthening early learning centers and empowering parents with the resources and knowledge needed to effectively care for their children. The expected outcomes include enhanced developmental milestones for young children and increased parental engagement in their children's early learning journey. The grant program prioritizes organizations that can demonstrate innovative and effective approaches to early childhood development. A key focus is on interventions that lead to measurable results, such as improved school readiness, reduced instances of developmental delays, and increased family stability. The foundation seeks to support programs that have a clear theory of change, demonstrating how their activities will lead to the desired positive outcomes for children and families. Eligibility for these grants is restricted to nonprofit organizations with current 501(c)(3) status, a two-year work history, and an annual operating budget of $100,000 or above. Applicants must be located in and serving Duval County. The grant size is up to $15,000, with a grant period from October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025.

The Cleveland Foundation is accepting applications for the second round of grants from the Cleveland Neighborhood Safety Fund (CNSF). This fund aims to enhance the safety of all Clevelanders through community-centered violence intervention and prevention strategies, aligning with the Foundation's mission to establish, manage, and implement the NSF. The CNSF is guided by a nine-person advisory committee, including representatives from Cleveland City Council, Cleveland Administration, community leaders, and community members impacted by violence, ensuring a community-driven approach. The Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks to appropriate up to $1 million to community violence intervention and prevention partners (CVIP) for programs focused on the summer months of June, July, and August 2024, leading into the school year. Target beneficiaries include individuals involved in or at high risk of violence, youth within the justice system, and individuals experiencing violence. The impact goals are to reduce gun violence, divert youth from the justice system, and disrupt the cycle of violence in Cleveland's most affected neighborhoods. Proposals should support organizational capacity building through additional staff, program expansion, and increased outreach. The CNSF prioritizes a data-driven approach to creating safe and healthy neighborhoods, starting with people at the center of serious violence and extending outwards. The fund's strategic priorities include building the capacity of organizations and fostering a network of community providers and system partners. This network relies on skilled workers with a personal understanding of trauma who meet people where they are and form strong relationships. The theory of change involves a mutual commitment from partners of all sizes to engage in a violence prevention ecosystem that honors the interdependency of interventions and organizations to reduce violence. Expected outcomes include a reduction in gun violence through proactive strategies and meaningful relationships, successful diversion of youth from deeper involvement in violence and the juvenile justice system, and a disruption of the cycle of violence through direct interventions. Successful applicants are expected to participate in coordinated efforts with other funded agencies, engage in training and technical assistance for capacity building and fidelity to best practice service models, and participate in evaluation activities to inform continuous improvement and learning within the network. This comprehensive approach aims to achieve measurable results in community safety and well-being.
