The Wavemaker Arts Grants, provided by the City of Tempe, are designed to support arts non-profit organizations that offer inclusive arts and culture programming within Tempe. This program aligns with the City of Tempe's broader mission to advance Tempe as a vibrant and progressive community for cultural and artistic activity, as outlined in its Arts and Culture Plan. The grants specifically target non-profit organizations with 501c3 status, ensuring that funding is directed towards established entities dedicated to public benefit in the arts. The primary beneficiaries of this program are arts non-profit organizations and, by extension, the residents and communities of Tempe who participate in and experience the funded arts and culture programming. The impact goals are to increase community-initiated arts projects, support festivals that celebrate cultural diversity, and expand informal arts programming in community settings. The program also aims to foster a rich cultural environment that reflects the diverse population of Tempe. The program's priorities and focuses include supporting a variety of project structures such as performances, residencies/workshops, and festivals. Grant requests can cover expenses like artist services, professional services, stipends, supplies, production costs, space rentals, food, marketing, and printing. A key focus is on ensuring that projects take place within Tempe and serve its community, with a clear restriction against activities outside the city or entirely virtual programming. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in accessible arts and culture programming for Tempe residents, a rise in community engagement with diverse cultural events, and the continued enhancement of Tempe's reputation as a culturally vibrant city. While specific quantitative metrics are not detailed, the program implies success through the number and variety of funded projects, the reach of those projects within the community, and their alignment with the Arts and Culture Plan's recommendations. The funding amount of up to $10,000 per project supports these outcomes by enabling organizations to execute impactful, community-focused initiatives.

The City of Flagstaff Sustainability Office and Sustainability Commission are offering the Neighborhood Sustainability Grants (NSG) Program. This program aims to provide funding for innovative projects that improve community sustainability and promote healthy lifestyles through collaborative community partnerships. While specific foundation mission alignment, strategic priorities, or theory of change are not explicitly stated as coming from a "foundation," the program's goals directly align with the broader mission of urban sustainability and community well-being as typically pursued by municipal sustainability offices and commissions. The NSG Program targets a broad range of beneficiaries including individuals, groups of individuals, community groups, educational groups, nonprofit organizations, churches, and locally owned businesses. These applicants must be undertaking projects within the Flagstaff city limits. The impact goals are to enhance community sustainability, promote healthy lifestyles, meaningfully involve underserved communities, diverse groups, or vulnerable populations, build community partnerships, and facilitate volunteer engagement or management. The program prioritizes projects that align with at least one of its three core goals: involving underserved communities, building partnerships, or facilitating volunteer engagement. Additionally, projects must fall into one of the following categories: Building Energy, Climate Action, Food, Public Health, Resilience, Transportation, or Waste. These categories represent the key focuses for achieving Flagstaff's sustainability objectives. Expected outcomes include the successful implementation of creative community projects that address sustainability challenges. Measurable results would be evidenced by the number of projects funded, the reach of those projects within the community, the level of community engagement and partnerships fostered, and tangible improvements in the designated sustainability categories. The program anticipates awarding a total of $75,000 in 2024, with individual grants capped at $7,500, indicating a focus on supporting multiple, smaller-scale community-led initiatives rather than a few large projects.
