The 2024 Bloomington Arts Commission (BAC) Operations Grant is designed to support 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organizations based in Bloomington, Indiana. This grant aligns with BAC's mission to foster a vibrant arts community by providing essential operational funding. The grant's primary objective is to ensure the fiscal soundness and organizational capacity of arts organizations that demonstrate a clear mission and planning to achieve it. Funding can be utilized for various organizational costs, including overhead, staff salaries, and programmatic expenses, reflecting a commitment to the holistic health of the arts sector. The target beneficiaries are nonprofit arts organizations with a primary mission centered around arts, located in Bloomington, Indiana. These organizations must possess a 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS and have an annual operating budget not exceeding $500,000. The grant aims to empower these organizations to address community needs, engage in larger community dialogues, and connect with diverse communities within Bloomington. The expected outcome is a more robust and inclusive arts landscape within the city, with organizations that are fiscally stable and actively contributing to the cultural fabric. The grant prioritizes organizational capacity, community impact, and equity and inclusion. Evaluation criteria specifically assess whether an organization demonstrates a clear mission and planning, is fiscally sound, and has committed staff or volunteers. For community impact, the focus is on whether the organization addresses a community need, engages in broader community dialogues, and reaches out to various communities in Bloomington. Furthermore, a strong emphasis is placed on an organization's actionable steps to increase equity and inclusion, ensuring that the grant supports a diverse and accessible arts environment. Measurable results include an increase in the number of financially stable arts organizations, enhanced community engagement through arts programming, and demonstrable progress in equity and inclusion initiatives within recipient organizations. While specific financial outcomes are tied to up to 5% of an organization's operating budget (not exceeding $5000), the broader impact is seen in the sustained operation and growth of Bloomington's arts sector. The BAC's strategic priority is to cultivate a thriving arts ecosystem through direct financial support and by encouraging responsible organizational practices and meaningful community engagement.

This program aims to promote the creation, enhancement, and protection of urban and community forest ecosystems throughout Tennessee, supporting full-circle management of these valuable resources. The broader mission alignment for this program is rooted in fostering sustainable and healthy communities through environmental stewardship, which aligns with the strategic priorities of both the Forest Service and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The program targets units of local governments (city, town, county), non-profit 501(c)3 organizations, and public educational institutions. Community tree volunteer groups, neighborhood associations, or civic groups that are not 501(c)3 organizations are also eligible if they apply in partnership with a non-profit or local government. The impact goals are to integrate U&CF principles into planning, promote the role of U&CF in human health and wellness, cultivate diversity and leadership in the U&CF community, strengthen forest health and biodiversity, improve management and stewardship, and increase funding for U&CF initiatives. Key priorities for projects include extreme heat mitigation, urban wood utilization, urban food forests, and workforce development. The program also emphasizes increasing public awareness and environmental education to promote stewardship, as well as engaging with communities under the Justice40 initiative through outreach, education, and technical and financial assistance. This focus reflects a strategic theory of change that links targeted interventions in urban forestry to broader improvements in public health, environmental resilience, and social equity within Tennessee communities. Expected outcomes and measurable results include facilitating strong partnerships among various governmental and non-profit entities, increasing awareness and practice of full-circle management in urban forests, and improving community preparedness for natural disasters. The program also seeks to increase the number of communities participating in Arbor Day Foundation recognition programs and to increase awareness of the numerous benefits of trees, such as those related to extreme heat mitigation and stormwater management. Applicants can apply for amounts between $5,000 and $40,000, with projects expected to be completed within one year. Eligible projects encompass urban and community forestry management, tree planting, program development or capacity building, urban and community wood utilization, and workforce development.

The Rural Maryland Prosperity Investment Fund (RMPIF) aims to elevate the standard of living in rural Maryland to or beyond statewide averages by 2030, while simultaneously preserving the unique cultural heritage and rural way of life. The fund, overseen by the Rural Maryland Council, provides targeted investments in economic and community development programs. This aligns with a broader mission to encourage entrepreneurial activity, foster a balanced economy, and relieve unemployment and underemployment in rural areas, ultimately promoting the overall health and welfare of rural residents across the State. RMPIF targets all rural counties in Maryland, benefiting local governments, higher education institutions, regional councils, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving rural constituencies. The core impact goal is to facilitate sustainable rural development by enabling these organizations to leverage additional non-state resources. Key priorities include the retention of valuable farm and forest land, promotion of intergovernmental and public-private partnerships, enhancement of essential infrastructure (housing, transportation, water, wastewater, broadband), and support for rural commercial center redevelopment and community revitalization efforts. The program's expected outcomes include increased entrepreneurial activity and commerce, a reduction in unemployment and underemployment, the productive use of farm and forest land, and improved infrastructure and services in rural areas. Measurable results for Fiscal Year 2025 include a State budget of $1,500,000 in General Funds specifically allocated for the entrepreneurship portion of the RMPIF program. The fund's theory of change posits that strategic investments and collaborative efforts will lead to a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable future for rural Maryland, directly contributing to the well-being and economic stability of its residents. Eligible expenditures for RMPIF include salaries and wages, administrative costs (construction, leasing, renovation of buildings, purchase/rental of vehicles, equipment), and reasonable meal costs with justification. Administrative expenses, however, are capped at 25% of the grant request, and indirect administrative costs at 10%. Acquisition of land is not an eligible expense. Applicants are strongly encouraged to include a statement on sustainability for future years, ensuring the long-term impact and viability of the funded initiatives.
