The Community Foundation of Mendocino County's Arts in the Schools Endowment Fund aims to provide consistent, stable funding for arts education in K-12 schools within Mendocino County, California, in perpetuity. This initiative directly aligns with the Foundation's mission to support and enhance community resources, specifically by fostering arts education as a vital component of K-12 schooling. The endowment model ensures a lasting impact, reflecting a long-term commitment to the cultural and educational enrichment of the region. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are K-12 students in Mendocino County schools, who will benefit from enhanced arts education opportunities. The program also targets professional artists by supporting their placement and work in classrooms. The impact goal is to provide high-quality arts education, ensuring that students have access to trained and professional artists. This approach seeks to cultivate artistic skills, creativity, and cultural appreciation among young learners. The program prioritizes selecting and placing artists in classrooms, as well as providing these artists with the necessary training and resources to deliver high-quality arts education. A key focus is on school-based arts programs, with individual artists required to apply through an organization, which could include educational institutions. This ensures a structured and institutional approach to implementing arts programs within the school system. Expected outcomes include a sustained increase in the availability and quality of arts education programs across Mendocino County schools. Measurable results could involve the number of schools participating, the number of students reached, and the number of professional artists engaged through the program. Ultimately, the Foundation's strategic priority is to establish a robust and enduring framework for arts education, thereby contributing to the holistic development of students and the cultural vitality of the community.

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.
