The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) is offering $325 million in grants for clean and drinking water projects. These grants are specifically for selected municipalities with infrastructure projects aimed at protecting public health and/or water quality. The EFC's mission aligns with the critical need to safeguard the state's water resources and ensure the well-being of its residents, directly supporting environmental protection and public health initiatives through strategic infrastructure development. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are municipalities across all counties in New York State. The program prioritizes projects that protect public health and water quality, with additional considerations for median household income, population served, governmental and community support, environmental justice, and project readiness. A key focus is on small, rural, and disadvantaged communities with populations of 3,500 or less, as these areas may qualify for enhanced awards, demonstrating an equitable approach to grant distribution. The program has clear priorities and focuses, specifically addressing clean water projects, drinking water projects, and intermunicipal (IMG) clean and drinking water projects. For clean water projects, awards can be up to $25 million or 25% of net eligible costs, with an enhanced 50% funding for small, rural, and disadvantaged communities. Drinking water projects tackling emerging contaminants (EC) above the State's Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) can receive 70% of net eligible costs with no cap, while other drinking water projects are capped at $5 million or 60% of net eligible costs. IMG projects for cooperating municipalities can receive up to $30 million or 40% of net eligible costs. These differentiated funding structures reflect a strategic prioritization of the most pressing water quality challenges. Expected outcomes include the construction, replacement, or repair of water infrastructure, upgrades to comply with environmental and public health laws, system upgrades to combat emerging contaminants like PFOA, PFOS, and 1,4 dioxane, and improvements to address combined and/or sanitary sewer overflow impacts. Measurable results will be seen in the successful completion of these construction-focused projects, improved water quality, enhanced public health protection, and increased compliance with environmental regulations. The EFC's strategic priority is to invest in tangible infrastructure improvements that yield long-term benefits for New York's communities and environment, operating under the theory of change that targeted financial support for critical water infrastructure will directly lead to a healthier and more sustainable future for the state.

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.

The Connection, Health, & Equity through Food (CHEF) Grant Program is a collaborative initiative across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Eastern Massachusetts, and Upstate New York, administered by the Maine Council on Aging. The program's core mission is to increase older adults’ equitable access to healthy food and social connection, aligning with a broader goal of addressing systemic issues like food insecurity and social isolation. This grant program seeks to support older adults by fostering programmatic infrastructure, expanding existing programs, and launching innovative new initiatives that cater to their food and social connection needs. The target beneficiaries of the CHEF Grant Program are primarily older adults, with a specific focus on underserved and marginalized populations. These include BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQ+, women, veterans, people living with disabilities, and individuals residing in rural communities. The program's impact goals are centered on enhancing the quality of life for these older adults by improving their access to nutritious food and opportunities for social engagement. Projects that serve diverse older people, veterans, and older people living with disabilities are given priority. The CHEF program prioritizes finding solutions to the root causes of food insecurity and social isolation. These root causes include poverty, transportation barriers, rurality, and language barriers. While the grant does not explicitly detail the foundation's strategic priorities or a formal theory of change, the emphasis on equitable access, addressing systemic issues, and supporting vulnerable populations suggests a strategy focused on community-based interventions and empowerment. The program's design indicates a theory that by investing in local organizations and initiatives, significant improvements can be made in the well-being of older adults. Expected outcomes include increased access to healthy food for older adults, enhanced social connections within communities, and a reduction in the prevalence of food insecurity and social isolation among the target populations. While specific measurable results are not explicitly outlined, the program's focus on data for older people served (50.1% of the overall population served) suggests an intent to track the reach and impact on the primary beneficiary group. The grant duration is not mentioned, but the anticipated grant size of $2,000 – $10,000 for most grants indicates support for projects with tangible, localized impacts.
