The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation Grant Program is currently accepting applications for grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, with awards typically falling between $1,000 and $5,000. These grants are designed to fund programs and projects that will be completed within one year of the award date. The foundation's mission, as indicated by its focus areas, is deeply rooted in human services, aiming to address critical needs within Arizona communities. While the specific "foundation mission alignment" and "strategic priorities and theory of change" are not explicitly stated, they are implicitly demonstrated through the consistent focus on human services and community impact. The program's primary target beneficiaries are organizations located in Arizona that serve various populations in need. The "impact goals" are to alleviate suffering and improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing homelessness, those requiring indigent healthcare, and youth participating in various programs. While programs operated by schools and youth sports leagues typically fall under other grant programs, the broader human services category ensures a wide reach. The exclusion of certain funding areas like annual appeals, capital campaigns, and endowments further defines the scope of their intended impact, emphasizing direct program support. The grant program's priorities and focuses are clearly delineated: homelessness, indigent healthcare, and youth programs. Additionally, other human services requests will be considered, demonstrating a flexible yet targeted approach. This indicates a strategic priority on immediate and direct community intervention rather than long-term infrastructural or endowment building. The focus on short-term, impactful projects with a one-year completion timeline suggests a theory of change centered on addressing pressing community issues through focused, measurable interventions. To ensure accountability and demonstrate "expected outcomes and measurable results," eligible organizations are required to submit an end-of-year Grant Progress Report. The application process itself mandates the submission of detailed information, including an Agency Overview, Board of Directors Roster, Financial Statements, Program/Project Timeline, Use of Funds Description, and Outcome Measurements. This rigorous reporting requirement underscores the foundation's commitment to understanding the tangible impact of its grants, aligning with a strategic approach that values transparency and demonstrable results in its philanthropic endeavors.

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.
