The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) is offering the Local Soil Health Workshop Grant, a reimbursement-based program designed to enhance soil health education and practices among Utah's agricultural producers and professionals. This grant aligns with a mission to expand localized knowledge of soil health principles and practices, ultimately fostering a more regenerative and sustainable agricultural landscape within the state. The program's core objective is to facilitate the hosting of local workshops and conferences focused on soil health throughout the 2025 calendar year, providing a direct avenue for education and community building. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are Utah agricultural producers and professionals, along with conservation districts that will host the educational events. The impact goals include increasing opportunities for these individuals to learn about regenerative farming practices and building robust local networks of soil health-focused individuals. The grant prioritizes educational and outreach events that deliver community-sized learning, supporting both expert speakers and local soil practitioner presenters. It also aims to provide a support network for producers and increase the implementation of soil health practices through knowledge sharing, including field days and demonstration events. Expected outcomes include a significant expansion of localized knowledge regarding soil health principles and practices across Utah. Measurable results will stem from the number and quality of workshops and conferences held, the engagement of participants, and the subsequent adoption of soil health practices. The program explicitly aims to provide resources to cover expenses for events, enabling the engagement of expert speakers, payment for local practitioners, and essential supplies and advertisements, all contributing to high-quality educational experiences. The UDAF's strategic priorities are evident in the grant's focus on community-level education and the emphasis on building local networks. The theory of change appears to be that by providing financial resources to host accessible and high-quality local soil health events, UDAF can directly empower agricultural communities to gain knowledge, share experiences, and ultimately implement more sustainable practices. This, in turn, is expected to lead to improved soil health across the state, benefiting both the environment and the long-term viability of Utah agriculture. The grant cycle has a total funding of $30,000, with individual awards ranging from $1,500 to $10,000, ensuring broad reach and impact across various initiatives.

The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Alaska Aquatic Resources Program protects and restores riparian and wetland areas, aquatic habitats, and water resources to provide functioning ecosystems for a combination of balanced and diverse uses including fish and wildlife, and for the long-term needs of future generations. Policy guidance for the Program ensures that public land management based on multiple use and sustained yield provides healthy and productive riparian, wetland, and aquatic habitat, achieves land health standards, and considers society’s long-term needs for healthy watersheds. The issues the Program addresses are diverse and include restoration, habitat fragmentation and degradation, drought resiliency, water availability, and aquatic invasive species. Program staff provide professional expertise and policy guidance to BLM managers, Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments, and non-governmental partners on these issues, and implement the best management practices to minimize or avoid impacts to water resources, riparian and wetland areas, and aquatic habitats on public lands. This program supports projects funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Section 40804 (b) Ecosystem Restoration. This program also supports projects funded through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Sections 50221 Resilience, 50222 Ecosystems Restoration and 50303 DOI.

The Harbor Facility Grant Program, administered by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, offers 50/50 matching financial assistance to municipally or regional housing authority owned small boat harbor facilities in Alaska. This program, funded annually by the Alaska Legislature, aims to support critical infrastructure within the state. While the specific foundation mission or strategic priorities are not detailed, the program's alignment with state-level infrastructure development and maintenance is clear. Port or barge facilities are explicitly ineligible, focusing the program on small boat harbor needs. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are municipal and regional housing authorities that own small boat harbor facilities. The impact goals include ensuring the continued functionality and improvement of these facilities, which are vital for local communities and maritime activities in Alaska. The program's structure, with its focus on "Major Maintenance and Repair," "New Construction," and "Expansion," suggests a commitment to both preserving existing infrastructure and fostering growth where needed. The program prioritizes projects through a two-tiered system. Tier I focuses on "Major Maintenance and Repair" of facilities previously owned by the state and now under municipal or regional housing authority ownership, with these projects receiving priority. A facility can only receive one Tier I grant, after which it becomes eligible for Tier II. Tier II encompasses all other eligible facilities, including new construction, expansion, or further major maintenance and repair, and facilities can receive multiple Tier II grants. This tiered approach indicates a strategic focus on addressing the most pressing maintenance needs first, then supporting broader development. Expected outcomes include improved safety, functionality, and longevity of small boat harbor facilities across Alaska. Measurable results could be tracked by the number of facilities repaired or constructed, the value of the grants awarded, and the types of improvements made (e.g., new pilings, upgraded utility systems). The grant duration is 2 years, with a grant period of 18 months for projects, allowing for substantial work to be completed. Award amounts range from a minimum of $50,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000, ensuring significant financial support for eligible projects. The focus on essential items like approach structures, float systems, and utility systems further reinforces the program's goal of ensuring robust and operational harbor facilities.
