Local Health Grants

The 2025 Sharing Prince George Grants, announced by The Greater Washington Community Foundation, aim to support high-impact nonprofits serving Prince George’s County’s most vulnerable residents. This initiative aligns with the Community Foundation’s broader 10-year strategic plan, which is centered on addressing urgent community needs, advancing economic justice, and ultimately closing the racial/ethnic wealth gap. The fund prides itself on supporting organizations that have effectively responded to community needs, working in partnership toward a shared vision for a more equitable, just, and thriving Prince George’s County, directly reflecting the foundation's mission. The target beneficiaries are the low-income and most vulnerable residents of Prince George’s County. The grant program seeks to achieve significant impact by enabling people to chart pathways out of poverty and empowering them with the financial and social capital needed to build wealth. The ultimate goal is to enhance the health and stability of the entire community by mitigating the effects of the racial/ethnic wealth gap, fostering economic justice, and ensuring basic needs are met. The grant-making priorities for this year are threefold. First, economic mobility resources are prioritized, including access to higher education, training, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Second, the program focuses on individual and community wealth-building opportunities to help residents weather crises and pursue their dreams. Third, basic needs for low-income neighbors are addressed, encompassing access to health and mental health resources, food security, affordable housing, childcare, education, and interventions that facilitate a transition from crisis to recovery. For the FY25 cycle, Sharing Prince George’s will award up to ten one-time grants, each up to $50,000. These grants provide flexible general operating support, allowing nonprofits to allocate resources where they are most needed to advance their missions within Prince George’s County. Regional organizations receiving grants will have their funds specifically earmarked for efforts within the county, ensuring the direct impact on the intended beneficiaries and contributing to the foundation's strategic objective of fostering a more equitable and stable community.

The City of Denton's grant program supports critical homeless response tools, strengthening the county-wide Housing Crisis Response System. This initiative aligns with a broader mission to address homelessness by ensuring that individuals living on the street receive essential information, referrals, and pathways to housing. The program aims to divert people from homelessness through the Coordinated Entry assessment process, facilitating housing placement, crisis intervention, and follow-up supportive services. The City of Denton acts as the donor for this grant, with a grant duration of two years, running from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026. The funding range for the grant is between $100,000 to $500,000, with a maximum annual request of $125,450. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are people and households experiencing homelessness, particularly those living on the street. The impact goals are centered around providing comprehensive support to these individuals, ensuring they have access to housing and necessary supportive services. This includes diverting individuals from homelessness, providing crisis intervention, and offering follow-up care to maintain housing stability. The program's strategic priorities are to enhance street outreach efforts, facilitate seamless access to housing through coordinated entry, and address various housing barriers that prevent individuals from securing stable accommodation. The grant prioritizes several key areas to achieve its objectives. These include funding qualified salaries for staff, supporting services that address housing barriers such as critical documents, emergency medication, or medical treatment, and providing behavioral health services. Additionally, financial costs that support diversion from homelessness are also a focus. The eligibility criteria for applying agencies underscore these priorities, requiring them to be 501(c)3 organizations in operation for over two years, providing services to the homeless, and having staff trained in addressing housing barriers, behavioral health referrals, data collection, and trauma-informed outreach. Agencies must also be actively using HMIS and participating in Denton’s Coordinated Entry process, including monthly case conferencing, and operating a current Street Outreach program. Expected outcomes and measurable results include an increase in the number of people diverted from homelessness, successful housing placements through the Coordinated Entry process, and improved access to supportive services. The emphasis on data collection and HMIS utilization suggests a commitment to tracking these outcomes, allowing for a quantitative assessment of the program's effectiveness in reducing homelessness and improving the well-being of the target population. The City of Denton's strategic priority is to strengthen the overall Housing Crisis Response System, and this grant serves as a critical tool within that broader framework, operating under a theory of change that effective street outreach, coordinated entry, and comprehensive supportive services lead to sustainable housing solutions.

The Generosity Collective, a giving circle dedicated to Springfield, operates by bringing like-minded individuals together to pool donations, learn about high-priority community issues, and collectively determine grant recipients. This process aligns with the Community Foundation of the Ozarks' mission by fostering community engagement and addressing critical local needs through a collaborative grantmaking approach. By focusing on issues identified in the Community Focus Report for Springfield & Greene County, the Collective ensures its efforts are strategically aligned with the most pressing challenges faced by the community. The grant program targets specific beneficiaries within the Springfield, Missouri area, including low-income students in need of preschool and pre-K programs, children at risk of abuse and neglect, individuals struggling with mental health and substance-use problems, and residents affected by the shortage of safe, affordable housing. The impact goals are to address economic disparities affecting early childhood development, reduce child abuse and neglect, improve mental health and substance abuse outcomes, and increase access to safe, affordable housing. The program's priorities are directly drawn from the identified categories in the Community Focus Report, ensuring that funding is directed towards areas of greatest need. The Generosity Collective has chosen four grantmaking categories for 2024: Economic Disparities Impacting Early Childhood Development, Child Abuse and Neglect, Mental Health and Substance-Use Problems, and Shortage of Safe, Affordable Housing. For each category, one agency will be selected to receive a $30,000 grant for a preferred 12-month grant period. The expected outcomes include improved kindergarten readiness for low-income students, a reduction in child abuse and neglect referrals, a decrease in suicide and overdose mortality rates, and an increase in the availability of affordable housing options. Measurable results will be tied to progress within each grantmaking category. For economic disparities in early childhood development, success could be measured by improved kindergarten readiness survey results for low-income students. For child abuse and neglect, a reduction in the number of referrals and the proportion of young children affected would be key indicators. In mental health and substance-use problems, a decrease in suicide and overdose mortality rates would demonstrate impact. For affordable housing, metrics could include the number of new affordable housing units developed, the proportion of residents with access to affordable housing, or the implementation of effective rental inspection programs. The Generosity Collective’s theory of change posits that by pooling resources and strategically funding initiatives in these high-priority areas, they can collectively confront pressing local issues and drive positive, measurable change within the Springfield community.
