The Arts in Schools Grants program, offered by the City of Tempe, is designed to expand and enhance arts services for students in Tempe schools. This initiative aligns with the broader Community Arts Grants Program, which aims to support immersive arts and culture experiences for collective impact and sustained value within the community. The program's mission is to foster arts education by providing resources directly to visual and performing arts teachers, enabling them to introduce new equipment, supplies, or guest artists into their curricula and programs. The primary beneficiaries of these grants are visual and performing arts teachers and, by extension, the students within Tempe Union High School District, Tempe Elementary District, Kyrene School District, Tempe Preparatory Academy, and New School for Arts & Academics. The program targets schools and activities located within Tempe's city limits. The impact goals include enriching existing arts programs, offering students unique artistic opportunities, and contributing to a more vibrant and culturally engaged school environment. The program prioritizes several focus areas, offering teachers two main options: up to $750 for specialty equipment or supplies, or up to $2,000 for a residency. The residency option further breaks down into up to $1,500 for a guest artist, clinician, or arts organization, and up to $500 for supplies. For visual arts teachers, additional planning support is available if they select an artist from the Studio Artists Program. This structured approach ensures that resources are allocated to either enhance physical resources for arts education or bring in external expertise to enrich student learning. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the quality and variety of arts education available to students. For the "Specialty Equipment or Supplies" option, the outcome is the acquisition of new materials that enhance teaching and learning. For the "Residency" option, the outcome is the direct engagement of students with professional artists or organizations, providing unique immersive experiences. Measurable results will be tracked through final reports submitted by May 30, 2025, which will detail how the funds were utilized and the impact on the arts programs. The program's strategic priorities are centered on direct support for classroom arts initiatives, ensuring that funding directly benefits student experiences rather than administrative overhead or infrastructure. This grant does not fund activities outside of Tempe, administrative salaries, compensation for immediate relatives, permanent infrastructure enhancements, construction, debt reduction, fundraising, re-granting, scholarship programs, or projects already funded by a 2024-2025 Community Arts Grant.

The Master-Apprentice Artist Award, offered by the Southwest Folklife Alliance (SFA), provides direct financial support to master traditional artists in Arizona. Its core mission is to facilitate the intergenerational transmission of art, culture, and heritage practices from master artists to apprentice learners. This aligns with SFA's broader goal of strengthening community-based traditions throughout the Southwestern United States, emphasizing the vital role of mentorship and hands-on experience in cultural preservation. Target beneficiaries include master traditional artists and culture bearers residing in Arizona, as well as apprentices aged 16 and older (or younger if immediate family of the master artist). The program prioritizes masters and apprentices within the same cultural community and aims to support underrepresented traditional art forms with few remaining local practitioners. The impact goal is to ensure the continuity and vitality of diverse traditional art forms, fostering a new generation of skilled practitioners and preserving cultural heritage. The program focuses on a one-on-one teaching-learning relationship, where funds can cover artist fees, raw materials, and essential travel. Traditional master artists receive $5,000, and apprentices receive $500. SFA's strategic priority is to identify and support artists who demonstrate mastery of their art form, community recognition, and the ability to effectively share traditional knowledge. This approach reflects a theory of change that informal, community-rooted mentorship is the most effective way to transmit and sustain traditional arts. Expected outcomes include the successful transfer of traditional art skills and knowledge from master to apprentice, leading to a strengthened base of cultural practitioners. Measurable results would involve the number of successful apprenticeships, the continuation or revitalization of specific traditional art forms, and the increased recognition and practice of these traditions within their respective communities. The program ensures that applicants are full-time Arizona residents, further embedding the initiative within the local cultural landscape.

This initiative directly aligns with the foundation's mission to inspire new paths to mental health and well-being. By focusing on destigmatizing loneliness and overcoming social isolation, the program addresses critical aspects of mental health that can significantly impact individuals and communities across the state. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are Arizona-based non-profit organizations and academic institutions. The impact goals are centered on creating and supporting projects that reduce social isolation and promote a sense of belonging, thereby improving the mental well-being of Arizona residents. The grant seeks to inspire new approaches and solutions to these pervasive issues within the state. For 2024, the program's explicit priority and focus is on destigmatizing loneliness and overcoming social isolation. This targeted approach ensures that funding is directed towards initiatives that directly address these specific challenges, which are recognized as significant contributors to mental health issues. The grant seeks to fund projects that offer innovative and effective strategies to build stronger social connections within communities. Expected outcomes include the development and implementation of projects that demonstrably increase social connection and reduce feelings of loneliness among participants. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the focus on "destigmatizing loneliness and overcoming social isolation" implies a need for programs that can track participation, engagement, and self-reported improvements in social connectedness and mental well-being. The funding of $75,000 to support a single project suggests a desire for impactful, well-defined initiatives with clear objectives. The foundation's strategic priorities, as evidenced by this grant program, clearly center on public health and community well-being, specifically in the realm of mental health. Their theory of change appears to be rooted in the idea that by fostering social connection and addressing isolation, mental health outcomes can be significantly improved.

The GrowBoston grant program offers a total of $15,000 to nonprofit organizations to support outreach and community-building events related to urban agriculture. The primary goal of this grant is to engage Boston residents more deeply in existing urban agricultural resources and broader urban agriculture activities. These events must be open to the public and focus on activities such as gardening, farming, food forest stewardship, beekeeping, henkeeping, and the consumption of locally-produced food. This initiative aligns with a mission to foster community engagement and education around sustainable food practices within urban environments, directly contributing to local food production and awareness. The target beneficiaries are Boston residents, with a particular focus on engaging them in various aspects of urban food production. The impact goals include increasing public participation in urban agriculture, enhancing community connection to local food systems, and promoting a greater understanding of sustainable living practices. The program prioritizes events that are planned for spring or summer 2024 and are specifically focused on Boston-based food production or urban agriculture. Examples of eligible events include garden-opening events, farm or food forest "open houses," and farmers market opening days, as long as they highlight urban agriculture. The expected outcomes of this grant program are a more engaged and informed Boston populace regarding urban agriculture. Measurable results could include the number of events hosted, the total attendance at these events, and the diversity of urban agriculture topics covered. While educational components are not mandatory, their inclusion would further support the program's objectives. The overarching strategic priority is to strengthen Boston's urban food ecosystem by encouraging community participation and utilizing existing resources effectively. The theory of change behind this grant program is that by funding accessible, public events focused on urban agriculture, GrowBoston can increase residents' engagement and knowledge, leading to a more robust and sustainable local food system. By supporting community-building initiatives, the program aims to cultivate a sense of collective responsibility and participation in urban food production. Allowable uses of funding include event supplies, food, non-alcoholic beverages, entertainment, and outreach materials, with up to 10% for indirect/administrative costs. This ensures that the grants directly facilitate event execution and community outreach, reinforcing the program's core objectives.
