The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County is accepting applications for its Growing Together: An LGBTQ Fund. Donor Name: The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County State: California County: San Luis Obispo County (CA) Type of Grant: Grant Deadline: 08/01/2024 Size of the Grant: $1000 to $10,000 Grant Duration: 1 Year Details: The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County established the Growing Together Fund in 2001, an initiative to address the needs of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and intersex (LGBTQI) community by providing grants, raising community awareness throughout San Luis Obispo County, and through promoting philanthropy. An LGBTQ+ Fund will prioritize one-year grants to 501c3 organizations in San Luis Obispo County who have or are implementing programs that: Demonstrate strategies to reach out to, involve, and center queer and trans people of color (QTPOC). In San Luis Obispo County, Queer and Trans People of Color (abbreviated QTPOC) face higher levels of discrimination than white queer or trans people. This is often the result of facing multiple levels of minority stress, such as those imposed by multiple systems of oppression: racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism, and cissexism. This leads to greater issues of access, equity, and inclusion and more concerning statistics related to physical and mental health, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use. The Growing Together Fund recognizes the significance of these intersecting variables within our San Luis Obispo community and aims to support creative initiatives and strategies that reach out to, involve, and move QTPOC from the margins to the center. Focus on advancing medical and mental health care for transgender and nonbinary people. Transgender and nonbinary people face numerous health disparities as well as stigma, discrimination, and lack of access to culturally competent care in comparison to cisgender people. These disparities are large, persistent, and increasing — many of them caused by barriers set up at all levels of our society. The Growing Together Fund recognizes the need to advance our San Luis Obispo community in supporting and advancing medical and mental health care for transgender and nonbinary people and aims to support efforts that: Identify health disparities within their organizations Change and implement new policies, programs, systems, environments, and practices to reduce inequities Evaluate and monitor efforts using short and long-term measures for structural change, including reassessment strategies with attention to process and outcomes, and continued action planning. Create queer spaces in currently unserved areas of the county. LGBTQ+ people need LGBTQ+ affirming community spaces, which promote increased feelings of safety and community connectedness, but more of these spaces are needed within San Luis Obispo County. Research suggests that community connectedness is a resilience factor associated with perceived social support and beliefs that we live in a just society. Community connectedness also serves as a buffer against the deleterious effects of minority stressors on mental health within LGBTQ+ populations. The Growing Together Fund recognizes the need to advance and develop queer spaces in underserved areas of our county and aim to support efforts that: Expand resources for local organizations to create physical spaces to improve community connectedness for LGBTQ+ people Provide assistance in the development of new and sustainable support, social, or wellness groups that provide queer space where resources are lacking, or a need has been indicated.

The City of West Hollywood invites artists, curators, and non-profit arts organizations based in the U.S. to submit proposals for temporary public art projects to the Art on the Outside (AOTO) program. Donor Name: City of West Hollywood State: California City: West Hollywood Type of Grant: Grant Deadline: 06/30/2024 Size of the Grant: Not Available Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned Details: The City of West Hollywood’s Art on the Outside (AOTO) program funds the temporary display of rotating exhibitions of art at publicly accessible locations that include but are not limited to parks, traffic medians, and communal areas of City-owned facilities. Artworks exhibited through this program include sculpture, murals, digital screen-based artwork and projections, and performance art. Most exhibitions remain on display for a duration of 6 months to 3 years, depending on the concept, construction, and location of the approved artwork. While proposals for new artworks are eligible for review, the AOTO program is best suited to realizing exhibitions of prefabricated artworks that can be installed at the approved site without extensive modification. This is due in large part to funding limitations of the program and prohibitive costs associated with fabricating unrealized artwork suitable for outdoor display. Eligibility Criteria This is an open call to individual artists, curators, and non-profit arts organizations based in the United States for exhibitions of emerging, mid-career, and established artists.  Evaluation Criteria Established criteria includes: Artist Qualifications and Experience Aesthetics Diversity Proposed Budget Public Safety, Materials, Maintenance, and Structural Integrity Location Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission Work Plan For more information, visit City of West Hollywood.

San Clemente Island (SCI) is uniquely capable of supporting integrated training and, as such, is a highly valuable, irreplaceable asset to the Navy. In addition to its direct training support value, its proximity to southern California allows sailors and marines to effectively train in closer proximity to their families and support networks, increasing quality of life and force sustainability. The Navy is required to ensure ecosystem management is the basis for all management of its lands (Sikes Act, as amended [16 USC 670a]; DoD Instruction 4715.03). While the Sikes Act, as amended, and other instructions, described above, require stewardship for natural resources on military installations, including species not listed under the Endangered Species Act, these projects support the military mission on SCI and do not foreclose current or future training opportunities. San Clemente Island (SCI) harbors large numbers of endemic organisms, several of which are listed as endangered or threatened by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The U.S. Navy, in accordance with the ESA and the Federal Noxious Weed Act, has an ongoing program to preserve the unique botanical resources and ecosystem of San Clemente Island. Brief Description of the Anticipated Work: 1. Grassland Restoration Native grasslands on SCI have been significantly impacted from historic grazing by non-native ungulates, invasion of non-native species, and drastic changes in the fire regime. In addition, increased training activity may present additional challenges for avoiding further impacts. Previous efforts on SCI have demonstrated the difficulty in achieving large-scale restoration of grasslands due to challenges associated with range access, site selection, and restrictions on ground disturbance. Recent efforts have been focused on identifying the most efficient and effective strategies for achieving small-scale restoration with long-term benefits. The purpose of this task is to further study the best methods for achieving successful grassland restoration on SCI, continue monitoring previous restoration efforts to evaluate long-term success, and integrate grassland restoration efforts with habitat management for other native species of conservation concern. 2. Habitat Restoration for Poa thomasii Poa thomasii, an annual grass species known only from three of the California Channel Islands, had not been recorded since being collected on San Clemente Island in 1903 and was presumed extinct. In July 2005, the species was located on Catalina Island at seven separate sites, primarily located in chaparral, across the island. This species is historically an integral component of SCI habitat that was lost due to the introduction of non-native plant and animal species. In 2010, the species was found in two locations on SCI in boxthorn habitat at the northern end of the island. Both locations on SCI are within areas that are used for training and subject to occasional fire. Previous work on Poa thomasii on SCI has been successful in improving the status of the species in terms of population numbers and improved habitat. Because this species was thought to be extinct, it has not been listed under ESA. The SCI Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) states an objective for the Navy to manage the species in such a way as to keep it from being listed. The INRMP notes that due to its restricted distribution on SCI, and those occurrences being located in areas of high human activity, the species is particularly vulnerable to local extinction. The purpose of this task is to increase the population size and resilience of Poa thomasii through propagation, outplanting, habitat restoration, and seed bulking, as well as monitoring natural occurrences and previous outplanting sites to evaluate population trends. 3. Population augmentation for Malva assurgentiflora ssp. glabra Malva assurgentiflora ssp. glabra is a perennial shrub native to the California Channel Islands. On SCI, the population was heavily impacted by non-native herbivores and likely would have been federally listed under ESA if the Navy had not proactively managed the species through propagation and outplanting. Recent genetic work may result in reclassification of the subspecies on SCI to a new species endemic to the island. In this case, it would become even more important to continue efforts to augment populations and manage population genetics to avoid listing under ESA. The purpose of this task is to increase the population size and resilience of Malva assurgentiflora ssp. glabra through propagation, outplanting, habitat restoration, and seed bulking, as well as monitoring natural occurrences and previous outplanting sites to evaluate population trends and genetic integrity. 4. Rare Plant Surveys Annual rare plant surveys are essential to document the status, distribution, and long term trends of species of conservation concern. Updating the rare plant database on an annual basis allows the Navy to stay in compliance with conservation measures, avoid listing under ESA, and make informed decisions about proposed changes to land use and infrastructure maintenance/construction. The purpose of this task is to collect monitoring data for species of conservation concern and assess the long term trends of these species on SCI. 5. Draft and Final Technical Report: The draft and final preliminary report shall be submitted in accordance with Section J. Submittals and Schedules. The report shall be in scientific format and include the following: 1) Title page showing title, date, cooperative agreement number, Pacific Fleet Representative and Cooperative Agreement Technical Representative contact information; 2) Sub-title page showing title, prepared by and for listings, date and recommended citation; 3) Table of contents; 4) Abstract or Executive Summary; 5) Introduction; 6) Methods; 7) Results; 8) Discussion; 9) Conclusions (to include synthesis with previous work and recommendations for future study); 10) Legible copies of the field notes, data forms and other information.
