The program's foundation is rooted in the Department of Treasury State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), demonstrating a commitment to enhancing financial stability for small businesses. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant program are small and micro businesses located within Riverside city limits, particularly those in disadvantaged communities. The program focuses on businesses with under 50 employees, an annual gross revenue between $10,000 and $2,500,000, and those that can demonstrate a COVID-19 financial impact. By targeting these specific businesses, the program aims to reduce barriers to success and promote equitable economic development. A key priority of the Riverside Small & Micro Business Grant Program is to offer direct financial support, with grant sizes ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. Beyond monetary aid, the program also emphasizes capacity building through a FREE one-on-one Strategic Planning Consultation. These consultations are designed to help applicants identify opportunities for improvement, develop customized strategies for increased financial stability, and build long-term sustainability. The focus is on holistic support, extending beyond immediate financial relief to include strategic planning and resource connection. The expected outcomes of this program include enhanced financial stability, long-term sustainability, and increased capacity for success among Riverside's small and micro businesses.

The program's strategic priorities are centered on recovery, resiliency, and growth, operating under a theory of change that postulates that by providing financial assistance and strategic guidance, small businesses will be better equipped to overcome challenges, thrive, and contribute to the local economy.

The Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union Foundation is currently accepting applications for its Community Grant program, designed to strengthen nonprofits and enhance community programs. This initiative aligns with the Foundation's mission to make the community a better place by supporting projects and programs that address critical needs. Each grant will fund up to $1,000, which can be used for either the continuation of an existing program or the launch of a new initiative. The Foundation's strategic priorities are deeply embedded in the grant's focus areas, ensuring that funded projects contribute directly to their overarching theory of change: investing in key community pillars leads to a more empowered and resilient society. The 2024 Community Nonprofit Grants are specifically focused on four key pillars: Education, Community Impact, Social Vulnerability, and Healthcare. Within the Education pillar, the goal is to empower students by providing them with the necessary tools for success inside the classroom. The Community Impact pillar aims to improve the communities that FMFCU serves, fostering environments where residents can thrive. The Social Vulnerability pillar tackles significant challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, and the repercussions of disasters and illness, working towards tangible solutions for vulnerable populations. Lastly, the Healthcare pillar is dedicated to enabling healthcare institutions to make quality decisions that ultimately benefit patients. Target beneficiaries for these grants include a broad spectrum of individuals and groups within the specified geographic areas, particularly those served by nonprofits focusing on the aforementioned pillars. The impact goals are directly tied to the objectives of each pillar, ranging from improved educational outcomes for students to enhanced community well-being, reduced social vulnerabilities, and improved healthcare access and quality. Expected outcomes for funded projects include tangible improvements such as increased access to educational resources, cleaner and safer community spaces, greater food security for at-risk populations, and better health outcomes for patients. While specific measurable results will be defined by individual grant recipients, the Foundation anticipates that the projects will demonstrate clear progress against the stated goals of each pillar. For instance, educational programs might track student achievement or participation rates, community impact projects could measure improvements in local infrastructure or engagement, social vulnerability initiatives might report on the number of individuals served or reductions in specific challenges, and healthcare projects could track patient satisfaction or access to care. The Foundation's theory of change posits that by strategically investing in these four pillars, they can create a ripple effect, leading to long-term, sustainable positive change across the community. Eligibility for the grant program is open to organizations with a 501(c)(3) status that are located in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or New Castle counties, West Philadelphia, or University City. This geographic focus ensures that the grants directly benefit the communities where Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union operates and where its members reside. The application deadline for the grant is June 30, 2024. This program is a testament to the Foundation's commitment to supporting local efforts that resonate with its core values and strategic vision for community development and upliftment.

The Washington State Department of Commerce (Commerce) is offering grant funding through its Community Reinvestment Project (CRP) to support community healer services. This initiative aims to address violence and its systemic roots, particularly in Black, Latine, and tribal communities, which have been historically impacted by the "war on drugs" and systemic injustices. The program aligns with a mission to foster holistic, trauma-informed, person and community-centered, and culturally responsive services. It emphasizes flexibility and low-barrier innovation to serve those in need of restoration, accountability, and healing, thereby supporting personal and intergenerational healing, burnout prevention, and repairing harm caused by systemic racism, anti-Blackness, and colonialism. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are individuals and communities affected by violence, with a specific focus on Black, Latine, and tribal communities, including urban Indians. The impact goals are centered on violence intervention and prevention, promoting healing, and addressing the long-term consequences of historical injustices. By supporting community healer services, the program seeks to create safer, more resilient communities where individuals can experience restoration and healing from trauma. The program's priorities and focuses include addressing violence that has disproportionately affected Black, Latine, and tribal communities due to the design and enforcement of state and federal criminal laws for drug possession. It prioritizes organizations led by and for these communities, including federally recognized tribal governments, tribal-led 501(c)3s, tribal-led community-based organizations, small businesses, non-profits, faith-based organizations, and grassroots community-led organizations. Geographic priority counties are Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish, Spokane, and Yakima in Washington State. Expected outcomes include providing culturally responsive services to people of all ages, identities, and abilities, fostering personal and intergenerational healing, and preventing burnout among community healers. Measurable results would likely focus on the reach and effectiveness of the violence intervention and prevention programs, the number of individuals served, and indicators of community restoration and healing. While specific metrics are not detailed in the provided information, the emphasis on accountability and healing suggests an outcomes-based approach. The foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change are rooted in the belief that addressing the historical and ongoing impacts of systemic racism, anti-Blackness, and colonialism through community-led healing initiatives is crucial for violence prevention and community reinvestment. By empowering by-and-for organizations within impacted communities, the program aims to facilitate sustainable change and create environments conducive to healing and well-being. The tiered funding structure, ranging from $50,000 to $500,000, reflects a commitment to supporting organizations of varying sizes, from small-sized with annual budgets under $150,000 to large-sized with budgets over $1 million, ensuring broad access to funding for eligible entities.

The program's primary target beneficiaries are organizations located in Arizona that serve various populations in need. The "impact goals" are to alleviate suffering and improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing homelessness, those requiring indigent healthcare, and youth participating in various programs. While programs operated by schools and youth sports leagues typically fall under other grant programs, the broader human services category ensures a wide reach. The exclusion of certain funding areas like annual appeals, capital campaigns, and endowments further defines the scope of their intended impact, emphasizing direct program support. The grant program's priorities and focuses are clearly delineated: homelessness, indigent healthcare, and youth programs. Additionally, other human services requests will be considered, demonstrating a flexible yet targeted approach. This indicates a strategic priority on immediate and direct community intervention rather than long-term infrastructural or endowment building.
