The North Carolina Department of Commerce is offering Rural Downtown Economic Development (RDED) Grants, a program designed to support downtown revitalization and economic development initiatives. The core mission of this grant program is to assist local governments in growing and leveraging their downtown districts as assets for economic growth, development, and prosperity. While the context does not explicitly detail the "foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change" in a separate section, the program's overall purpose and eligible activities implicitly align with strategies focused on strengthening local economies through targeted investment in public infrastructure and community assets within downtown areas. The primary beneficiaries of the RDED Grants are units of local government, specifically municipal or county governments located in Tier 1 or Tier 2 counties, and rural census tracts in Tier 3 counties within North Carolina. The impact goals are centered on fostering economic growth, retaining businesses, attracting customers, and creating or retaining jobs within downtown districts. The program aims to transform these areas into vibrant economic engines for their communities, ultimately leading to broader economic development and increased prosperity for residents. The program prioritizes and focuses on projects that involve public improvements aimed at business retention and customer attraction within business districts. It also strongly supports publicly owned downtown economic development initiatives that utilize main streets and downtown districts as economic catalysts. Furthermore, the grants facilitate publicly owned building improvements for community-wide or mixed-use development, ensuring public control and benefit. Specific eligible activities include improvements to public infrastructure (like lots, alleys, streetscapes, waterfront developments, and parks), renovations or additions to public buildings (such as community centers, theaters, and libraries), and mixed-use downtown developments incorporating retail, restaurant, service, professional, nonprofit, governmental, institutional, or residential uses. Expected outcomes include a strengthened local economy, increased job opportunities, enhanced public spaces, and revitalized downtown districts that serve as community hubs. Measurable results are directly tied to the maximum grant amount, which is capped at $850,000 per grantee and may not exceed $12,500 per projected job created or retained. This direct link to job creation and retention provides a clear metric for assessing the program's success in achieving its economic development objectives. The discretion of the Rural Infrastructure Authority in funding availability suggests an ongoing commitment to strategic investments that align with the state's broader rural development goals.

The Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS) is offering 2024 Families First Community Grants to eligible non-profit organizations in Tennessee. The program aims to engage these organizations to administer community-based services that meet the needs of low-income families, guiding them toward permanent economic security. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to improve economic security and well-being for low-income families and strategically utilize TANF funds. The four core purposes of TANF—providing assistance to needy families so children can be cared for in their own homes, reducing dependency on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage, preventing and reducing out-of-wedlock pregnancies, and encouraging two-parent families—form the bedrock of this grant program. The target beneficiaries are low-income families in Tennessee who face challenges related to education, health and well-being, economic stability, and safe, stable, and nurturing relationships. The impact goals are to place these families on a path to permanent economic security and to foster a more strategic use of TANF funds to achieve the outlined purposes. The program seeks to reduce dependency on government benefits, improve family well-being, and ultimately build the economic, social, and developmental capital of those served. The program prioritizes partnerships with non-profit organizations that demonstrate an understanding of the challenges faced by low-income families and have a proven track record. Key focuses for partnership include organizations that have implemented or developed effective, community-based programs; demonstrated strong leadership and coordination of cross-sector partnerships; and shown a proven track record for providing services that help low-income families achieve economic mobility. Furthermore, organizations must have identified diverse resources, secured cross-sector partnerships, and developed a family-led approach aligned with one or more TANF purposes. Expected outcomes include a long-term positive impact on the community, with a clear articulation of return on investment and cost-benefit analysis to sustain service delivery. The Department also seeks partners committed to co-creating solutions to significant social problems with other stakeholders and customers, and those leveraging other public resources through innovative initiatives. The strategic priorities revolve around fostering economic security, reducing dependency, and strengthening families through evidence-based and evidence-informed program models, all while promoting a collaborative, community-led approach.

The Green Transportation Capital Grant Program, administered by the Washington State Department of Transportation, aims to fund cost-effective capital projects for transit authorities. Its core mission is to reduce the carbon intensity of Washington's transportation system, aligning with broader climate action efforts supported by the state's Climate Commitment Act (CCA). The CCA's strategic priority is to decrease climate pollution, create jobs, and enhance public health, making this grant a direct mechanism to achieve these goals by investing in sustainable transportation solutions. The primary beneficiaries of this program are transit agencies within Washington state, including various city, county, metropolitan, public, unincorporated, regional, and special purpose district transit systems. The impact goals are centered on transforming public transportation infrastructure to be more environmentally friendly. This includes the electrification of transit vehicle fleets and the development of necessary supporting infrastructure, such as charging and fueling stations, and associated electrical system upgrades. The program prioritizes capital projects that directly contribute to fleet electrification and the transition to zero-emission transportation. Eligible projects encompass the acquisition of battery and fuel cell-operated electric vehicles, modification of facilities for electrification or hydrogen refueling, and the construction of new facilities that primarily support electrified fleets. Additionally, it covers essential upgrades to electrical transmission and distribution systems, in-house staff managing capital construction, and property rights acquisition for these projects. The expected outcomes and measurable results include a significant reduction in carbon emissions from the Washington transportation sector, directly contributing to the state's climate goals. Historically, the program has awarded between $12 million and $50 million per biennium, indicating a substantial investment in achieving these outcomes. The project period for most applications is two years (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2027), with construction projects potentially extending to four years, allowing for tangible progress in transitioning to green transportation.
