The Ida Alice Ryan Charitable Trust is offering grants to support charitable institutions located in or around Atlanta, Georgia. This grant program is aligned with the Trust's mission to foster community well-being by empowering organizations that serve vital needs in the region. The Trust's strategic priorities are evident in its focus on key areas that contribute to a thriving society within the Metro Atlanta 28-County Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are organizations that qualify as exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and operate within the specified Atlanta area. The impact goals of the Trust are implicitly to strengthen the capacity of these local charities, enabling them to expand their reach and effectiveness in addressing critical community issues. The Trust's priorities and focus areas are clearly defined, encompassing arts, culture, and humanities; education; health; human services; and public/society benefit. These areas represent the core sectors where the Trust believes its funding can yield the most significant positive change. By supporting organizations within these categories, the Trust aims to contribute to a more vibrant, educated, healthy, and supportive community. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided description, it can be inferred that the Trust seeks to achieve tangible improvements in the quality of life for Atlanta residents through the work of its grantees. The Trust's theory of change appears to be rooted in the belief that by investing in established and impactful charitable institutions, it can indirectly facilitate a wide range of positive social and cultural advancements across the diverse focus areas.

The Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) Cultural Facilities Grant Program aims to bolster the arts infrastructure across Georgia by offering financial support for the construction, renovation, acquisition, or equipment addition to arts facilities. This initiative directly aligns with the GCA's mission to foster a vibrant cultural landscape within the state, ensuring that arts organizations have the necessary physical spaces and tools to deliver their programming. The grant targets capital projects, recognizing that robust facilities are fundamental to the sustainability and growth of artistic endeavors. The primary beneficiaries of this program are non-profit arts organizations registered with the IRS (with arts as part of their mission and over 50% arts-related programming) and local government entities that own and manage arts facilities in Georgia. The impact goal is to enhance the capacity of these organizations to provide diverse arts-based programming, ranging from performing and visual arts to media, literary, folk & traditional, and multidisciplinary arts projects. By improving facilities, the grant seeks to create more accessible and high-quality spaces for artistic expression and community engagement. The grant prioritizes projects that directly support arts-based programming. While a broad spectrum of artistic disciplines is supported, the program explicitly excludes activities such as humanities, social sciences, sciences, culinary arts, fashion, martial arts, sports, magic shows, circus arts, non-arts recreation, topiary, landscape art, and interior design. This clear focus ensures that funds are directed towards initiatives that genuinely advance the arts as defined by the GCA. The funding for FY25 ranges from $10,000 to $75,000, and the project period is set between November 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. Expected outcomes include improved and expanded arts facilities, leading to an increase in the quantity and quality of arts programs available to Georgia residents. Measurable results could include the number of facilities renovated or acquired, the amount of new equipment purchased, and potentially an increase in program attendance or participation reported by grant recipients. The GCA's strategic priority, as evidenced by this grant, is to strengthen the foundational elements of the arts community, operating under the theory of change that by investing in physical infrastructure, they can create a more stable and fertile environment for artistic creation, education, and public access. The inclusion of additional ARP funds in 2024, allowing previous Cultural Facilities Grant recipients to reapply, further underscores a strategic commitment to sustained investment and recovery within the arts sector.
