General Program Support (GPS) funding, provided by the Florida Department of State, aims to support Florida's arts and cultural organizations, both public and private, by funding their general program activities rather than specific projects. This aligns with the state's cultural objectives to promote, create, and present cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, and events, or to provide professional services as a State Service Organization or Local Arts Agency. The program's mission is to further the state's cultural landscape and ensure access to arts and culture across Florida. The target beneficiaries of the GPS funding include a wide range of arts and cultural organizations. This encompasses organizations promoting excellence in arts education, those focusing on specific disciplines like dance, literature, media arts, museum, music, presenter, theatre, traditional arts, and visual arts, as well as designated Local Arts Agencies (LAAs) and State Service Organizations (SSOs). LAAs are public entities supporting arts and culture through advocacy and information dissemination, while SSOs are non-profit organizations providing services in at least 40 Florida counties. The impact goals are to enhance cultural programming, foster arts education, support local and statewide arts infrastructure, and ensure a vibrant arts and cultural sector throughout Florida. The program prioritizes various types of support, offering four main categories: Arts in Education program support, Discipline-based program support, Local Arts Agency program support, and State Service Organization program support. Specific eligibility criteria are in place, with higher funding requests ($25,000+ and $50,000+) requiring a history of completed grants with the Division of Arts and Culture, and for requests over $50,000, at least three years of completed programming and one paid, full-time staff member in a management position. Additional specific requirements exist for Arts in Education organizations (arts education mission), Museum disciplines (open 180 days/year, own/utilize objects, exhibit regularly), Professional Theatre (compensate artistic staff/actors), Local Arts Agencies (official designation in one or more counties), and State Service Organizations (reach at least 40 counties). The expected outcomes of the GPS funding include a stronger, more active arts and cultural community across Florida, increased access to diverse cultural experiences for residents and visitors, and sustained support for organizations vital to the state's cultural identity. Measurable results would include the number of cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, or events conducted, the reach and impact of State Service Organizations and Local Arts Agencies, and the overall health and stability of funded arts and cultural organizations as evidenced by their programming and operational capacity. The grant period is July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with grant sizes ranging from $1,000 to $150,000 based on proposal type and funding level. The Florida Department of State's strategic priority is to advance the cultural objectives of the state. The theory of change behind GPS funding posits that by providing general program support to qualified arts and cultural organizations, these organizations will be better equipped to conduct, create, produce, present, and sponsor cultural activities and educational programs. This, in turn, will lead to a more culturally enriched populace and stronger local and statewide arts ecosystems. The emphasis on general program support over specific projects reflects a belief that empowering organizations to pursue their core missions will yield more sustainable and far-reaching cultural benefits for Florida.

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.
