The John T. Sloper Community Fund, managed by the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, is dedicated to enhancing emergency medical services and improving accessibility to emergency health services in Southern Dutchess and Putnam counties, areas previously served by the Sloper-Willen Community Ambulance Service. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to support critical community needs, specifically in life-saving emergency health provisions. The program aims to save lives by equipping local organizations with essential resources and training. The grant targets tax-exempt organizations, police departments, fire companies, and volunteer ambulance services located in or serving Southern Dutchess County and Putnam County, New York. Additionally, for the Cardiovascular Fund, tax-exempt organizations in Dutchess County, New York are eligible. The primary impact goal is to strengthen the emergency medical response infrastructure within these communities, ensuring residents have timely access to critical care and equipment. The fund's priorities include providing Automatic External Defibrillator Devices (AEDs), including necessary materials and training, and supporting organizations in becoming First Responders in areas currently lacking such services. It also focuses on supplying equipment to enhance the overall delivery of emergency medical services. Approximately $20,000 is available annually, with up to $3,500 per grant anticipated for AEDs, training, and support materials, indicating a strategic focus on tangible and immediate improvements in emergency response capabilities. The expected outcomes are a significant increase in the availability of AEDs, a rise in trained First Responders, and an overall improvement in the quality and speed of emergency medical services. Measurable results will include the number of AEDs distributed, the number of individuals trained, and the establishment of new First Responder units. The foundation's theory of change posits that by directly investing in equipment and training for local emergency service providers, it can directly contribute to a more robust and responsive healthcare safety net, ultimately leading to more lives saved and healthier communities. Preference is given to organizations that have not received funding in the prior year, ensuring a broader reach and equitable distribution of resources.

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.
