Funding awards depend on revenue from damage assessment claims and oil spill penalties. Maximum available funding is usually between $100,000 and $400,000. Grant award limit: To maximize available funding, the typical grant award ranges from $10,000 to $50,000. Amount of matching funds required: There are no recipient match or cost-share requirements, since Spills CPF grants provide 100 percent of project Total Eligible Cost. Spills CPF grants also can help meet match requirements for other state grants.

The 2023 Property Tax Relief Grant is a one-time grant proposed by Governor Brian Kemp to refund $950 million in property taxes to homestead owners in Georgia. The grant, also known as the Homestead Tax Relief Grant, was signed into law on March 13, 2023. The Department of Revenue has been allocated $950 million to reduce the assessed value of Georgia homesteads by $18,000. To receive the grant, property owners will see a $18,000 reduction in the assessed value of their property. Local tax officials will notify the Department of Revenue of the anticipated revenue, and the Department of Revenue will issue credits to the local taxing authorities. The grant does not apply to rental properties and is only available to homesteads claimed by Georgia taxpayers before the April 1 deadline. It is important to note that the Property Tax Relief Grant is different from a homestead exemption. Georgia offers various homestead exemptions, including exemptions for seniors over 65, disabled veterans, and surviving spouses of public safety officers. The grant program was created in the late 1990s and discontinued after the 2008 Recession, but it has been reinstated due to the State's excess reserves. The grant does not provide a paper check or direct deposit, but rather appears as a reduction on the property tax bill.

The 2024-25 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) is designed to bolster cybersecurity defenses across various local entities within California. This grant aligns with a foundational mission of safeguarding critical digital infrastructure and sensitive information from escalating cyber threats. By focusing on enhancing the security posture of state and local governments, the program directly supports the broader strategic goal of ensuring public safety and operational continuity in the digital realm. The primary beneficiaries of the SLCGP are local governments, school districts, special districts, and federally recognized tribes. The overarching impact goal is to significantly reduce the vulnerability of these entities to cybersecurity incidents, thereby protecting public services and citizen data. The grant aims to empower these organizations with the resources and knowledge necessary to proactively address and mitigate cyber risks. The program prioritizes the improvement of information systems security and the enhancement of critical infrastructure resilience. This involves a focus on implementing robust cybersecurity measures, developing incident response capabilities, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness among staff. The grant seeks to support initiatives that strengthen existing defenses and build new capacities to detect, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks effectively. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in successful cyberattacks, improved compliance with cybersecurity best practices, and enhanced data protection across participating entities. Quantifiable results could involve metrics such as the number of vulnerabilities patched, the increase in cybersecurity training completion rates, and the reduction in recovery time after an incident. These outcomes are crucial for building a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on creating a secure and reliable digital environment for public services. The theory of change behind this grant is that by providing targeted financial assistance and promoting best practices, local entities will be better equipped to withstand and recover from cyber threats. This investment in cybersecurity is expected to lead to more resilient communities, greater public trust in government services, and a more secure state overall.
