New Mexico Safety Grants

The Hancock Family Foundation, in partnership with the Albuquerque Community Foundation, provides grants to support community-based charitable activities throughout New Mexico. The foundation's core mission is to elevate health and welfare, promote literacy, enrich cultural arts, and address food insecurity. This statewide grant program aims to foster leadership and encouragement within these vital areas, with a preference for organizations with operating budgets under $2 million, and a maximum award of $5,000 per grant. A key focus for the Hancock Family Foundation is education, specifically targeting children’s literacy programs, English as a Second Language (ESL) education, and primary education enrichment. In the realm of health and welfare, the foundation supports shelters for women and children, individuals seeking safe havens during medical procedures, survivors of domestic violence, and women’s health and family planning services. Through these efforts, the foundation strategically addresses critical needs and works towards a theory of change that empowers vulnerable populations and improves their overall well-being. The foundation also strongly values the transformative power of the arts. It embraces community-based arts initiatives, with a particular emphasis on youth programming that nurtures creativity and self-expression. By investing in cultural arts, the Hancock Family Foundation seeks to enrich the lives of young people and foster a vibrant creative community. The expected outcomes of the Hancock Family Foundation's grant program include improved literacy rates, enhanced access to healthcare and safe environments for women and children, reduced food insecurity, and increased participation in and appreciation of the arts among youth. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided information, the foundation's strategic priorities are clearly aligned with creating tangible positive impacts in these key areas across New Mexico.

The District of Columbia Department of Health (DC Health) is offering a grant program aimed at improving the recruitment and retention of the dental workforce within the District. This initiative directly aligns with the broader mission of enhancing public health by addressing critical shortages in dental care, particularly in designated Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). By strengthening the dental workforce, DC Health seeks to ensure greater access to oral health services for all residents, thereby contributing to the overall well-being of the community. The primary target beneficiaries of this grant are dental professionals practicing or intending to practice in dental HPSAs. The impact goals are to alleviate the shortage of dental workers, reduce burnout among existing staff, and create more stable and effective dental care environments. The grant prioritizes the implementation or development of targeted training programs, the creation of initiatives to address organizational gaps impacting oral health workforce retention, and other strategies designed to combat burnout within the dental field. Expected outcomes include an increase in the number of dental professionals working in HPSAs, a reduction in staff turnover rates, and the establishment of sustainable and scalable approaches to meet the needs of dental organizations. Measurable results will likely involve tracking recruitment numbers, retention rates, and the successful implementation of new programs aimed at improving workforce stability. The goal is to identify and address the drivers of administrative and clinical support staff retention, ensuring a robust and resilient oral health workforce. The funding available for this project is substantial, with an anticipated amount of $80,000, and individual awards ranging from $60,000 to $80,000. The project period is set to begin on August 1, 2024, and conclude on July 31, 2025. Eligibility is extended to Federally Qualified Health Centers and dental clinics currently providing care in dental Health Professional Shortage Areas. This strategic investment reflects DC Health's commitment to a theory of change that posits by directly supporting the dental workforce, the District can achieve significant improvements in oral health equity and access.
