The United Way of Northern New York (UWNNY) is offering 2025 Community Impact grant funding to local nonprofit human service organizations. The program aims to support outcome-driven, collaborative, and equity-focused community-based organizations. UWNNY's mission is to connect with and provide funding to organizations that strengthen the community's impact. The program is aligned with UWNNY's broader strategic priorities of addressing critical community needs through targeted interventions. The grant specifically targets organizations serving residents of Jefferson, Lewis, and/or St. Lawrence Counties. Priority is given to proposals that focus on underserved and underrepresented populations, address unmet needs, utilize a collaborative approach, and serve individuals or families who are Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed (ALICE) or living in poverty. The program's impact goals are to support programs that align with primary areas of focus: Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), Child/Youth Success, and Economic Stability. The Community Impact Fund has clear priorities and focuses. For Social Determinants of Health, the focus is on interventions addressing access to nutrition, housing, healthcare, literacy/language, education, and transportation. For Child/Youth Success, programming should provide vital supplies and support for academic success, growth, development, and a healthy transition into adulthood. For Economic Stability, the focus is on short- and long-term strategies to help people gain or maintain stability, such as job skills training, soft skills development, and support for those at risk of falling into poverty. Expected outcomes include improved access to essential services, enhanced academic and developmental success for children and youth, and increased economic stability for individuals and families in the targeted counties. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed for each objective, the emphasis on "outcome-driven" organizations suggests a focus on demonstrable impact and progress towards these goals. The theory of change implicit in this grant is that by funding strategic, collaborative, and equity-focused programs in these key areas, UWNNY can contribute to a more resilient and thriving community, particularly for its most vulnerable populations.

The Community Impact Grant (CIG) Program for Fiscal Year 2024, offered by the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County (RDA), is designed to support community-based 501(c)(3) organizations in Prince George’s County. This program aligns with the RDA's broader mission to revitalize and enhance communities and the quality of life within the county. By providing grants for small innovative capital projects, the RDA aims to foster significant, tangible improvements at the neighborhood level, thereby directly contributing to its strategic priorities of community development and well-being. The target beneficiaries of the CIG Program are civic/neighborhood associations and community-based 501(c)(3) organizations located within Prince George’s County and in good standing with the State of Maryland. The program's impact goals are centered on revitalizing and enhancing communities through specific capital projects. These projects are expected to lead to measurable improvements in the local environment, public spaces, and commercial areas, ultimately benefiting the residents by creating more vibrant, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing surroundings. The program prioritizes projects within two main categories: Neighborhood Beautification and Environment, Natural Resources and Sustainability. Under Neighborhood Beautification, the focus areas include streetscape improvements, street furniture, pedestrian enhancements, recreational improvements, signage, banners, way-finding systems, commercial façade improvements, internal/external improvements to public-use commercial buildings, and permanent public art installations. For Environment, Natural Resources and Sustainability, the focus is on the restoration of parks, streams, and open space, urban agriculture, replenishment of tree canopy, green roofs, low impact development, storm water management, and the preservation of historic landmarks, structures, and sites. Expected outcomes include visible improvements in neighborhood aesthetics, increased accessibility and usability of public spaces, enhanced environmental quality, and the preservation of historical assets. Measurable results could include the number of new public art installations, miles of enhanced streetscapes, acres of restored green space, or the number of commercial facades improved. The RDA's theory of change posits that by investing in these specific capital projects through community organizations, they can empower local groups to directly address community needs, leading to sustainable improvements in infrastructure, environment, and overall quality of life, which in turn reinforces the strategic goal of comprehensive community redevelopment. The grant performance period is one year from the date of execution of a CIG Grant Agreement.
