This includes facilitating access to affordable broadband, increasing the availability of computing devices, and cultivating the knowledge and skills necessary for digital literacy.

Key focus areas include improving digital skills, mitigating access barriers, and enhancing confidence in using digital tools. Eligible projects will demonstrate a clear strategy for building capacity within the community to tackle these specific challenges. Expected outcomes of the program include a measurable increase in broadband service access, particularly affordable options, and a greater availability of computing devices among residents.

The Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation offers Special Project Grants to support organizations aiming to enhance their community impact. These grants are designed to align with the Foundation's mission by addressing various issues affecting Louisiana's health and community well-being. The program specifically targets nonprofit organizations that are 501(c)(3) IRS-designated and in good standing with the Louisiana Secretary of State, working for charitable, religious, scientific, literary, or other similar purposes. This ensures that funding is directed towards legitimate organizations committed to improving the state. The primary goal of these grants is to empower organizations to either complete existing projects previously funded by the Foundation or to strategically expand current efforts and implement new initiatives. These new efforts must be based on clear evidence of need and solid data, emphasizing a data-driven approach to community development and health improvement. The target beneficiaries are the communities across all parishes in Louisiana, particularly those impacted by health and well-being challenges. The Foundation's strategic priorities are evident in its focus on supporting projects that demonstrate a clear pathway to increased community impact. The "theory of change" implied here is that by investing in established or well-researched new projects, the Foundation can directly contribute to tangible improvements in health and community well-being across Louisiana. The funding information specifies grant sizes ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, with a duration of one year, indicating a commitment to significant, yet focused, short-term impact. Expected outcomes include the successful completion of existing projects, as well as the strategic expansion or effective implementation of new initiatives that are supported by strong data. Measurable results would likely stem from the "clear evidence of need and solid data" requirement, meaning organizations would need to demonstrate the impact of their efforts on Louisiana's health or community well-being. While specific metrics are not detailed, the emphasis on data suggests that grantees will be held accountable for demonstrating quantifiable improvements in their target areas, contributing to the Foundation's overarching goal of fostering a healthier and more resilient Louisiana.

The District of Columbia Department of Health (DC Health) is offering the Senior Dental Services Program to promote the dental health and welfare of District residents aged 65 and older. This grant aligns with a mission to engage seniors in quality, comprehensive dental care, ensuring access to essential health services for an vulnerable population. The funding aims to support dental practices experienced in providing such care, emphasizing community well-being and health equity. The primary beneficiaries of this program are District residents aged 65 and older. The impact goals are centered on improving the dental health and welfare of these seniors, with a particular focus on increasing their engagement in comprehensive dental care. This initiative seeks to address the unique dental health challenges faced by older adults, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. The program prioritizes dental practices that are for-profit or non-profit, licensed in the District of Columbia, experienced in providing comprehensive services to seniors, actively billing DC Medicaid and Medicare, and experienced in charging patients according to a formal sliding-scale fee policy. These criteria ensure that the funding supports providers capable of delivering high-quality, accessible care to the target demographic, including those with limited financial resources. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the number of seniors receiving comprehensive dental care and an improvement in the overall dental health status of District residents aged 65 and older. While the document does not explicitly detail DC Health's strategic priorities or theory of change beyond this program, the emphasis on promoting dental health and welfare for seniors strongly suggests an underlying commitment to public health, preventive care, and reducing health disparities within the community. The program's design, which includes specific eligibility criteria for dental practices and focuses on engaging seniors, reflects a theory of change that posits increased access to qualified providers will lead to improved health outcomes for the targeted population.

The program prioritizes inclusive participation, ensuring that tribal nations not recognized by the state or federal government can still apply through an eligible fiscal sponsor. This broad eligibility criteria reflects a strategic priority to engage a wide array of community stakeholders in the commemoration efforts. The primary focus of the grants is to fund projects that offer arts experiences, events, programs, and content directly tied to the 250th commemoration. Applicants can apply for up to $10,000, with a required 1:1 match, indicating an emphasis on shared investment and community partnership. The funding, managed as subawards through the University of Virginia and paid on a reimbursable basis, suggests a commitment to accountability and careful financial stewardship. The project period from August 1, 2024, to August 1, 2025, provides a clear timeline for implementation and impact. The expected outcomes include the successful development and execution of arts-focused commemorative activities across Virginia. Measurable results would likely encompass the number of arts projects funded, the number of localities engaged, the reach of these events (e.g., attendance figures), and the types of artistic content created. The underlying theory of change is that by supporting local arts initiatives tied to a significant historical event, the grants will foster a deeper appreciation for Virginia's heritage, stimulate cultural tourism, and strengthen community bonds through shared experiences. This approach aims to create lasting cultural and economic benefits throughout the state.
