The Rochester Area Community Foundation is accepting applications for its James M. and Olive Edmunds Memorial Fund. This grant program aims to support local community organizations in the Village of Brockport or towns of Sweden or Clarkson. The foundation's mission, as evidenced by this fund, is to enhance the well-being of these communities by fostering arts and cultural opportunities, reducing poverty, enriching the community's beauty, and preserving historic buildings and sites. This aligns with a strategic priority to empower local initiatives that directly benefit residents and address critical community needs. The target beneficiaries are local, community-based organizations within the specified geographic areas (Village of Brockport, towns of Sweden or Clarkson, NY) and, by extension, the residents of these areas. The impact goals are to provide local arts and cultural opportunities, reduce poverty, enhance community beautification, and restore historic buildings and sites. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by funding local organizations addressing these key areas, they can create tangible improvements in the quality of life and cultural richness for residents. The program's priorities and focuses are clearly defined: supporting traditional and folk arts (not pop culture), physical restoration and maintenance of historic buildings, monuments, sculptures, and other historic items, programs that help lift people out of poverty, and beautification efforts in public areas. These specific focuses indicate a strategic approach to supporting initiatives that have a lasting and tangible positive effect on the community. Expected outcomes include increased access to arts and culture, a reduction in poverty levels, more aesthetically pleasing public spaces, and the preservation of important historical assets. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided information, the focus on "local groups that perform traditional and folk arts," "physical restoration of buildings," and "programs that help lift people out of poverty" suggests that the foundation will be looking for tangible outputs and, ultimately, positive changes in the lives of the residents. Funding ranges from $2,000 to $5,000, with an overall size of $1,000 to $10,000, indicating a focus on supporting a variety of project scales that can demonstrate significant local impact.

The Onondaga County Agritourism Grant Program, announced by the Onondaga County Department of Planning for 2024, aims to bolster the local agricultural community by enhancing the viability of farmland and protecting farms and operators for future generations. This initiative directly aligns with the broader mission of supporting agricultural sustainability and economic growth within Onondaga County. The program recognizes the critical role agritourism plays in farm viability, tourism, and overall quality of life, positioning itself as a strategic effort to integrate these elements for community benefit. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are local agricultural ventures in Onondaga County, including existing farms and new agritourism startups. The impact goals are centered on improving and expanding agritourism operations, which in turn supports farm viability and contributes to local tourism. By investing in these ventures, the program seeks to create a more robust agricultural economy and enhance the recreational and educational opportunities available to residents and visitors. The program prioritizes projects that fall into four general categories: Improve, Expand, Initiate, and Market. This broad focus allows for a diverse range of projects, from enhancing existing operations to launching entirely new ventures. Specific areas of focus include expanding or diversifying operations, improving safety and ease of access for visitors, and adding new educational programming. New agritourism ventures can also utilize funding to offset initial startup costs, demonstrating a commitment to fostering innovation and growth in the sector. Expected outcomes of the program include a more resilient and economically viable agricultural sector in Onondaga County, increased agritourism offerings, and improved quality of life for residents. Measurable results could include the number of agritourism ventures that receive funding, the types of projects implemented, the growth in revenue for participating farms, and an increase in tourist engagement with local agricultural sites. The strategic priority is to partner with the agricultural community to achieve these outcomes, with the underlying theory of change being that targeted investment in agritourism will lead to enhanced farm viability and broader community benefits.

The Mertz Gilmore Dance Research Grants, administered by Staten Island Arts, offer crucial support to dance artists, collectives, and nonprofits at various career stages. This grant program is specifically designed to foster the research and development of new dance works. While the overall mission of Staten Island Arts is not explicitly detailed, this grant aligns with a broader goal of supporting artistic creation and addressing specific challenges within the local arts community, particularly the lack of venues for dance presentations in Staten Island. The grants aim to alleviate these significant challenges by focusing on the foundational stages of creative development, thereby contributing to the vitality of the local dance scene. The primary target beneficiaries of these grants are individual dancers, choreographers, dance collectives, and dance nonprofits who are residents of Staten Island and are at least 18 years old, and not full-time students. The impact goals are centered on enabling the creation of new dance work. By providing funding for the research and development phase, the program seeks to empower artists to explore innovative ideas and bring new projects to fruition, ultimately enriching the cultural landscape of Staten Island. The program's priorities and focuses are clear: to support the development of new dance works that are either undeveloped or in their early stages. Crucially, the grants explicitly exclude funding for work that has already been presented. This emphasis ensures that the funds are directed towards novel creative endeavors. The grants are designed to alleviate challenges related to the lack of presentation venues by focusing on development, rather than presentation costs. Ineligible activities include capital improvements, fundraising events, scholarships, juror fees, prizes, lobbying expenses, and entertainment, reinforcing the program's dedication to direct artistic creation. The expected outcomes include the successful research and development of new dance works by Staten Island-based dance artists and organizations. While specific measurable results are not detailed, the program implicitly aims for an increase in the quantity and quality of new dance pieces being created in the borough. Awards are set at $7,500 per artist, indicating a significant investment in individual creative processes. The underlying strategic priority is to strengthen the dance community in Staten Island by nurturing artistic talent and supporting the creation of original work from its nascent stages. The theory of change seems to be that by providing dedicated funding for early-stage development, artists will be better equipped to overcome resource limitations and contribute new, innovative dance to the community.
