The RIZE Massachusetts Foundation is offering grants aimed at improving access to care and enhancing the quality of life and overall health for individuals suffering from substance use disorder. This grantmaking initiative aligns directly with RIZE's mission to support organizations that work across the care continuum, from prevention to recovery, and serve diverse, historically underserved communities in Massachusetts. The foundation's strategic priority is to help organizations deepen their impact, scale their work, and build strong, sustainable infrastructures, reflecting a theory of change that focuses on capacity building and unrestricted funding to address urgent needs and strengthen organizational operations. The target beneficiaries for this grant program are nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts that deliver prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery programs and services, particularly those working with populations that have experienced higher rates of opioid-related overdose deaths. The impact goals are to ensure these individuals have access to comprehensive care, experience better health outcomes, and achieve a higher quality of life. The grants are designed to provide general operating support, allowing recipient organizations the flexibility to address emerging issues, sustain existing operations, or invest in strengthening their organizational infrastructure. The grant program's focus areas are broad, encompassing prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery, trauma, and family support. This holistic approach underscores the foundation's understanding of the multifaceted nature of substance use disorder and its impact on individuals and communities. The grants are intended to build capacity within these organizations, enabling them to expand their reach and effectiveness in addressing the opioid crisis in Massachusetts. Expected outcomes include enhanced organizational stability and capacity, leading to more impactful and scalable programs. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the overall goal of improved access to care and better health outcomes, the emphasis on capacity building implies that success will be gauged by the organizations' ability to deepen their reach and sustain their critical services. Organizations with budgets under $5 million are eligible, with grant sizes ranging from up to $50,000 annually for smaller organizations to $150,000 for larger ones, over a three-year duration. Ineligible activities include fundraising, capital campaigns, clinical trials, individual support, religious promulgation, or lobbying.

The Center for Fiction / Susan Kamil 2024–2025 Emerging Writer Fellowship is a grant program designed to support early-career fiction writers based in New York City. The Center for Fiction's mission, though not explicitly detailed in its entirety, aligns with fostering literary talent and providing crucial support to emerging voices in fiction. This fellowship specifically addresses a critical need for developmental opportunities for writers who are at an early stage in their careers and have not yet received significant recognition or traditional publishing contracts. The program directly supports the literary arts and contributes to the cultural landscape of New York City by nurturing its writing community. The primary target beneficiaries of this fellowship are emerging fiction writers residing in any of the five boroughs of New York City. These individuals are defined as those who have not yet published a novel or short story collection with a major or independent publisher, nor are they currently under contract for such a work. While prior publication in magazines, literary journals, or online is acceptable, it is not a prerequisite. The impact goal is to empower these writers by providing them with the resources, mentorship, and exposure necessary to develop their craft, revise their manuscripts, and connect with industry professionals, thereby helping them achieve major recognition for their work. The program prioritizes supporting writers whose work demonstrates promise of excellence, focusing on those in the early stages of their careers who lack the support needed for significant recognition. Key focuses include providing financial relief through a $5,000 grant, offering professional editorial mentorship to refine manuscripts, and granting access to a dedicated Writers Studio. Furthermore, the fellowship emphasizes professional networking opportunities through monthly dinners with editors, authors, and agents, and public readings to build a writer's profile. Expected outcomes include the professional development of the fellows, marked by revised and improved manuscripts, expanded professional networks, and increased visibility within the literary community. Measurable results could include the number of fellows who secure publishing contracts post-fellowship, the quality of their revised manuscripts, the success of their public readings, and the overall trajectory of their careers as fiction writers. While the document does not explicitly state the foundation's full strategic priorities or theory of change, it implies a belief that direct financial support, professional guidance, dedicated writing space, and networking opportunities are crucial catalysts for emerging writers to overcome barriers to entry and achieve success in the competitive publishing world.

Florida Humanities invites public libraries and library systems to apply for funding to host English for Families, a multi-week series of interactive classes. This program is designed for adults and children (ages 6-12) to develop English vocabulary and literacy skills through strategic and fun story reading. The foundation's mission, though not explicitly stated as "strategic priorities and theory of change," aligns with promoting literacy and cultural understanding within the state. This program contributes to that broader mission by addressing a critical need for language proficiency among Florida residents. The target beneficiaries for the English for Families program are individuals whose native language is not English (ESOL), specifically adults and school-age children (ages 6-12). The primary impact goal is to develop the literacy skills of the whole family, laying a path to success at work and school. This holistic approach recognizes that language proficiency for both children and adults is crucial for overall family well-being and community integration. The program's priorities and focuses include improving language proficiency through essential reading strategies for school-age children to achieve success in the classroom, while also developing adults’ basic language skills. The program emphasizes interactive learning and can be delivered either in-person or virtually, ensuring accessibility. Selected libraries are required to host at least two series of 10 sessions each, demonstrating a commitment to sustained educational engagement. Expected outcomes and measurable results include improved English vocabulary and literacy skills for both adults and children. The program aims to increase language proficiency, leading to greater success in academic and professional settings. While specific metrics are not provided in the description, the focus on "developing literacy skills of the whole family, laying a path to success at work and school" implies that improvements in these areas would be the desired and ultimately measurable results. The program is developed in partnership with the Orange County Library System (OCLS), which suggests a well-structured curriculum designed to achieve these outcomes.
