The Washington State Department of Commerce, through its Office of Firearm Safety and Violence Prevention/Community Safety Unit, is offering a grant program to Washington state law enforcement agencies. This initiative aligns with the Department's broader mission to enhance community safety and reduce violence by equipping law enforcement with modern tools and technologies. The program aims to address critical needs in public safety by focusing on improved vehicle pursuit management and overall operational effectiveness for law enforcement agencies across the state. The target beneficiaries of this grant are Washington state law enforcement agencies, including individual agencies and consortiums of agencies. The primary impact goal is to enhance the safety and effectiveness of vehicle pursuits and other law enforcement operations through the adoption of advanced technology. By providing these tools, the program seeks to contribute to a safer environment for both officers and the public, ultimately reducing the risks associated with traditional pursuit methods and improving the ability of law enforcement to respond to incidents. The grant prioritizes the provision of modern vehicle pursuit management technology. This includes, but is not limited to, global positioning system tracking equipment, automated license plate reading technology, aircraft, and non-armed and non-armored drone technology. The focus is on leveraging technological advancements to achieve more efficient and safer law enforcement practices. The grant also emphasizes a broad distribution of funding across Washington, with maximum award amounts tailored to agency size to ensure equitable access and impact for both smaller and larger departments. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the adoption and effective utilization of advanced vehicle pursuit management technologies by law enforcement agencies. This will likely lead to improved apprehension rates, reduced risks during pursuits, and enhanced overall operational capabilities for participating agencies. While specific measurable results are not detailed beyond the types of technology, the implicit goal is to improve public safety metrics related to law enforcement interactions and criminal apprehension. The program's success will be evident in the widespread implementation of these technologies and their positive impact on community safety over the grant duration of one year, from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

The program also seeks to improve the overall health and wellness of the community, with a specific focus on mental health. Organizations applying for funding must be recognized as non-profits by the Federal Government with tax-exempt status or be governmental or quasi-governmental agencies. The City Council periodically reviews community needs to set funding priorities. Current priorities reflect those outlined in the Philomath Strategic Plan, which include providing basic services and resources to underserved populations, combating homelessness and housing insecurity, and improving health and wellness, including mental health.

The Oregon Community Foundation is offering flexible funding to organizations addressing pressing needs across Oregon. This grant program aligns with the foundation's mission to foster equitable access to resources, particularly for communities historically experiencing bias, discrimination, or underinvestment. The foundation encourages a wide range of nonprofits to apply, seeking to support initiatives that deepen, enhance, or grow work within their communities. The program specifically targets several Oregon populations who have historically faced significant challenges. These include Black, Indigenous, Latino/x, and communities of color (encompassing various ethnic and racial groups), people in under-resourced areas or those lacking critical infrastructure, immigrants and refugees, individuals with disabilities, people with low incomes, those experiencing homelessness, LGBTQ+ individuals, and survivors of domestic violence and/or child abuse. The impact goal is to clearly address community-identified needs and reduce systemic inequities for these populations. Funding priorities are categorized into three grant types: new or expanding programs or projects, capacity-building, and small capital. New or expanding programs should address a gap or need and demonstrate a significant increase in impact, reaching new populations or substantially more of the same population. Capacity-building focuses on organizational development through activities like strategic planning, board development, or marketing. Small capital grants support new or expanded construction, renovation, or equipment, with a total cost limit of $500,000. The expected outcomes are to strengthen organizations and enable them to better serve their communities through enhanced programs, improved organizational capacity, or updated infrastructure. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided text, the emphasis on addressing community-identified needs and "significant expansion" implies a focus on quantifiable improvements in service delivery, reach, or the well-being of target populations. The foundation's strategic priority is clearly to support equitable access and address historical disparities through community-driven solutions.
