The City and County of San Francisco offers "Grants for the Arts: Arts Services," a program designed to provide capacity building for San Francisco-based arts and culture organizations and/or artists. This grant aims to strengthen the arts community within San Francisco by offering support in various critical areas. While the specific foundation mission or theory of change is not explicitly stated in the provided text, the grant's focus on "capacity building" and supporting local arts organizations aligns with a broader goal of fostering a vibrant and sustainable cultural sector within the city. The target beneficiaries of this grant are San Francisco-based nonprofit organizations classified as 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), or 501(c)(6), as well as individual artists through fiscally sponsored organizations.

The theory of change implicit in this grant is that by providing comprehensive capacity-building support in areas such as financial management, strategic planning, and racial equity, organizations will become more resilient, effective, and capable of serving their communities. This, in turn, is expected to lead to a more thriving and inclusive arts and culture landscape in San Francisco. Eligibility criteria, such as requiring a San Francisco corporate address and 501(c) status, underscore the commitment to local investment and accountability within the city's artistic community.

The Aging Adults Program, offered by The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida (CFNF), is designed to support nonprofit organizations primarily focused on aging adults or their caregivers. This grant aligns with the foundation's mission to address critical needs within its service area, particularly given the growing population of aging adults facing challenges in maintaining a high quality of life on limited incomes. By providing funding, the CFNF aims to bolster community initiatives that directly benefit this vulnerable demographic, reflecting a strategic priority to support the well-being of the region's older residents and those who care for them.

This geographic focus ensures that the grants address the needs of the communities where the foundation operates. The grants' focus on direct support for aging adults or their caregivers highlights the foundation's commitment to tangible, immediate benefits. The grant size, up to $15,000, suggests a focus on supporting smaller to medium-sized initiatives or specific projects that can demonstrate a clear and measurable impact within the grant period of October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025. Expected outcomes include improved quality of life for aging adults, enhanced support systems for caregivers, and the sustained operation of vital nonprofit services in the region. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the direct support, the emphasis on a two-year work history and an annual operating budget of $100,000 or above for eligible nonprofits suggests that the foundation seeks to partner with established organizations capable of delivering impactful and sustainable programs. The CFNF's strategic priorities are evident in its exclusion of funding for athletic associations, fundraising event sponsorships, schools, and programs promoting religious beliefs, indicating a focused approach on direct social services for aging populations, aligning with a theory of change that posits direct community investment will lead to improved societal well-being for its elder citizens.

The Tustin Cares program, offered by the City of Tustin in partnership with the Orange County-Inland Empire Small Business Development Center (SBDC), presents the Main Street Digital Training & Grant Program. This initiative aims to provide vital training and funding to retail businesses, home-based businesses, and nonprofits within Tustin, specifically targeting an increase in their social media presence and overall revenue. While not explicitly stating a "foundation mission alignment," the program's focus on local business development and recovery suggests an alignment with broader community economic well-being and resilience, particularly in the wake of financial hardships.

Businesses that have participated in previous Main Street Digital Programs are ineligible, but those that received alternative COVID-19 related funding, such as EIDL or PPP loans, are eligible. The program's priorities and focuses are squarely on digital presence and revenue generation for small businesses and nonprofits. The SBDC has developed a virtual training program specifically designed to assist businesses with "Creating a Digital Presence."

The requirement for businesses to certify financial hardship due to COVID-19 and the $500 grant amount, which cannot exceed the amount of lost revenue, also suggest an immediate goal of alleviating pandemic-related economic strain.

This grant program is administered by the CCTA, utilizing funds derived from a portion of the local hotel/motel tax.

The program targets entities such as not-for-profits, governmental, or quasi-governmental organizations that have demonstrated at least one year of fiscal operation and represent ongoing, sustainable operations. Beneficiaries must be located in Clayton County, or if a festival/event, it must take place within the county.

The Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG) is a federal block grant authorized by subtitle B of the McKinney Vento Homelessness Assistance Act, funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, and administered by SD Housing for the State of South Dakota. This program aligns with a mission to combat homelessness and provide emergency shelter and homelessness prevention services. The grant aims to support individuals and households who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, providing a critical safety net and pathways to stability.

The Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority’s Tourism Product Development Fund (TPDF) aims to provide financial assistance for major tourism capital projects. Its core mission is to increase patronage of lodging properties and further economic development within Buncombe County. The fund aligns with the broader goal of fostering sustainable growth and enhancing the region as a desirable destination. The target beneficiaries of the TPDF are non-profit organizations and government entities that develop major tourism capital projects. The impact goals are to create jobs, foster entrepreneurial opportunities, provide amenities for both residents and visitors, and ultimately increase overnight lodging stays in Buncombe County. Projects that directly increase lodging stays or support larger initiatives to do so are evaluated equally. The TPDF prioritizes capital investments, focusing on "brick and mortar" projects. Operational expenses are not considered for funding, though design fees already expended can count towards the required 1-to-1 funding match. Projects must be principally located in Buncombe County, demonstrate the ability to increase lodging patronage, and not solely benefit a single lodging owner or property. Applicants must also have legal control of the property and show how they will achieve a minimum 1-to-1 funding match. Expected outcomes include enhanced financial stability for requesting organizations, successful and sustainable project operations, and effective sales and marketing plans that draw visitation. The TPDF also seeks projects that differentiate the destination through brand alignment, uniqueness, and innovation, and those that promote the local creative sector. Measurable results are assessed by the ratio of overnight lodging generated to funding requested, and the project's ability to create new and incremental room nights, not just pull from existing visitors. Furthermore, the TPDF aligns with BCTDA’s strategic imperatives to deliver balanced recovery and sustainable growth by distributing visitors geographically and seasonally. Projects that encourage safe and responsible travel, and those that support engagement with and appeal to more diverse audiences, receive greater consideration. The overarching theory of change is that strategic capital investments in tourism infrastructure will lead to increased visitor numbers, economic benefits, and a more vibrant community, all while ensuring sustainable and equitable development.
