The Tustin Cares program, offered by the City of Tustin in partnership with the Orange County-Inland Empire Small Business Development Center (SBDC), presents the Main Street Digital Training & Grant Program. This initiative aims to provide vital training and funding to retail businesses, home-based businesses, and nonprofits within Tustin, specifically targeting an increase in their social media presence and overall revenue. While not explicitly stating a "foundation mission alignment," the program's focus on local business development and recovery suggests an alignment with broader community economic well-being and resilience, particularly in the wake of financial hardships. The target beneficiaries of the Main Street Digital Program are for-profit commercially-zoned brick-and-mortar retail businesses, home-based businesses, and nonprofits physically located in Tustin. Eligibility criteria specify that businesses must have had an active Tustin business license since the first quarter of 2023, possess a minimum of 2 employees and no more than 25 full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2023, and be in good standing with the City. Businesses that have participated in previous Main Street Digital Programs are ineligible, but those that received alternative COVID-19 related funding, such as EIDL or PPP loans, are eligible. The program's priorities and focuses are squarely on digital presence and revenue generation for small businesses and nonprofits. The SBDC has developed a virtual training program specifically designed to assist businesses with "Creating a Digital Presence." This emphasis highlights the City of Tustin's strategic priority to empower local enterprises with the tools and knowledge necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital marketplace, thereby fostering economic growth and stability within the community. Expected outcomes and measurable results include an enhanced social media presence and increased revenue for participating businesses and nonprofits. The program's theory of change appears to be that by providing targeted digital marketing training and financial assistance, local businesses will be better equipped to reach customers, expand their operations, and ultimately contribute to the economic revitalization of Tustin. The requirement for businesses to certify financial hardship due to COVID-19 and the $500 grant amount, which cannot exceed the amount of lost revenue, also suggest an immediate goal of alleviating pandemic-related economic strain.

General Program Support (GPS) funding, provided by the Florida Department of State, aims to support Florida's arts and cultural organizations, both public and private, by funding their general program activities rather than specific projects. This aligns with the state's cultural objectives to promote, create, and present cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, and events, or to provide professional services as a State Service Organization or Local Arts Agency. The program's mission is to further the state's cultural landscape and ensure access to arts and culture across Florida. The target beneficiaries of the GPS funding include a wide range of arts and cultural organizations. This encompasses organizations promoting excellence in arts education, those focusing on specific disciplines like dance, literature, media arts, museum, music, presenter, theatre, traditional arts, and visual arts, as well as designated Local Arts Agencies (LAAs) and State Service Organizations (SSOs). LAAs are public entities supporting arts and culture through advocacy and information dissemination, while SSOs are non-profit organizations providing services in at least 40 Florida counties. The impact goals are to enhance cultural programming, foster arts education, support local and statewide arts infrastructure, and ensure a vibrant arts and cultural sector throughout Florida. The program prioritizes various types of support, offering four main categories: Arts in Education program support, Discipline-based program support, Local Arts Agency program support, and State Service Organization program support. Specific eligibility criteria are in place, with higher funding requests ($25,000+ and $50,000+) requiring a history of completed grants with the Division of Arts and Culture, and for requests over $50,000, at least three years of completed programming and one paid, full-time staff member in a management position. Additional specific requirements exist for Arts in Education organizations (arts education mission), Museum disciplines (open 180 days/year, own/utilize objects, exhibit regularly), Professional Theatre (compensate artistic staff/actors), Local Arts Agencies (official designation in one or more counties), and State Service Organizations (reach at least 40 counties). The expected outcomes of the GPS funding include a stronger, more active arts and cultural community across Florida, increased access to diverse cultural experiences for residents and visitors, and sustained support for organizations vital to the state's cultural identity. Measurable results would include the number of cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, or events conducted, the reach and impact of State Service Organizations and Local Arts Agencies, and the overall health and stability of funded arts and cultural organizations as evidenced by their programming and operational capacity. The grant period is July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with grant sizes ranging from $1,000 to $150,000 based on proposal type and funding level. The Florida Department of State's strategic priority is to advance the cultural objectives of the state. The theory of change behind GPS funding posits that by providing general program support to qualified arts and cultural organizations, these organizations will be better equipped to conduct, create, produce, present, and sponsor cultural activities and educational programs. This, in turn, will lead to a more culturally enriched populace and stronger local and statewide arts ecosystems. The emphasis on general program support over specific projects reflects a belief that empowering organizations to pursue their core missions will yield more sustainable and far-reaching cultural benefits for Florida.
