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.

Implementation projects are "shovel-ready" projects. Applicants must submit a concept proposal, as found on the Conservancy’s website, before submitting a full proposal. Partnerships are encouraged but not required. There are no limitations on number of submissions by organizations. Applications are received via email for concept proposals and by uploading files to a designated site for full proposals.

The City of Claremont's Community Based Organization (CBO) Program for 2025 aims to partner with non-profit service providers to strengthen the social, economic, and family infrastructure within the Claremont community. This initiative aligns with the city's mission to address the social service needs of its residents by supporting non-profit agencies in developing programs that meet both existing and emerging community needs. The program's overarching goal is to foster a more robust and supportive environment for Claremont residents through collaborative efforts. The CBO Grant Program targets Claremont residents in need of social services, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations. Through its two distinct funding programs—General Services and Homeless Services/Critical Need—the program seeks to make a tangible impact on various aspects of community well-being. The impact goals include improving health and wellbeing, supporting special needs individuals, enhancing children's education, providing services for seniors, promoting arts, and addressing environmental concerns, in addition to directly supporting homeless individuals and those facing critical needs. The program prioritizes funding for initiatives that best address the community's identified needs and priorities. Specifically, the grant categories are divided into two main focuses: grants providing funding for homeless services/critical need, and grants providing funding for general services. Within the general services category, the program focuses on health and wellbeing, special needs, children/education, seniors, arts, and environmental programs. This structured approach ensures that funding is directed towards areas where it can have the most significant and targeted impact. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided description, the program's design implies an expectation of improved social, economic, and family infrastructure within the Claremont community. Successful outcomes would include a strengthened network of non-profit service providers, increased access to vital services for residents, and a demonstrated ability of funded programs to meet new and emerging community needs. The continuous offering of the program in 2025 suggests an ongoing commitment to achieving and sustaining these positive community impacts.
