These priorities reflect the Foundation's commitment to a holistic approach to community development, recognizing that progress in one area often positively impacts others. The target beneficiaries are diverse, encompassing individuals and groups who will benefit from advancements in these critical sectors, such as students receiving educational support, residents gaining access to better healthcare, or communities benefiting from environmental conservation efforts. The overall impact goal is to foster thriving, resilient communities through targeted investments. Eligible organizations for the Community Rewards funding must hold a 501(c)(3) status and operate in New Mexico or El Paso County, Texas. This geographic and organizational requirement ensures that the grants directly benefit the communities where Nusenda Credit Union operates and that the funds are managed by established, non-profit entities. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided information, the Foundation's focus on these key areas suggests an expectation of improved educational outcomes, enhanced health and wellness, increased environmental sustainability, greater access to arts and culture, and stronger community support systems.

The Priddy Foundation seeks grant applications to bolster programs in human services, education, the arts, and health, all with a significant focus on fostering individual development and community improvement. This aligns directly with the foundation's mission to create lasting and favorable impact on individuals and organizations. The foundation offers various types of grants, including Program Grants for expanding services, Operating Grants with an emphasis on achieving self-sufficiency, Capital Grants for buildings and equipment, and Organizational Development Support Grants to enhance organizational capacity. The overall goal is to support initiatives that address identified problems and opportunities, and that are sustainable beyond the grant period. Target beneficiaries for these grants span a wide range, as the foundation supports programs in human services, education, arts, and health. This implies a focus on individuals and communities benefiting from improved access to these essential services. The impact goals are centered on individual development and community improvement, aiming for measurable positive change. For instance, program requests are expected to deal effectively with identified problems and opportunities, and organizations should be able to evaluate results against defined standards of measurement. For operating grants, a practicable plan to achieve self-sufficiency is often required, demonstrating a long-term impact objective. The foundation's priorities and focus areas are clearly delineated, encompassing Arts and Culture, Civic/Government, Education, Health, Human Services, Other, and Youth. Within these areas, there's a strong interest in requests that create or expand program services, enhance organizational capacity, and support capital projects that have broad community backing. Geographically, the foundation concentrates on specific counties in Texas (Archer, Baylor, Childress, Clay, Cottle, Foard, Hardeman, Haskell, Jack, King, Knox, Montague, Stonewall, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, Wise, and Young) and Oklahoma (Comanche, Cotton, Jackson, Jefferson, Stephens, and Tillman). Expected outcomes and measurable results are integral to the Priddy Foundation's grantmaking. Program grants require organizations to evaluate results against defined standards, and organizational development grants mandate a comprehensive plan with clear linkages between leadership development and the ability to achieve and sustain the organization's mission effectively. For capital grants, organizations must attain their fundraising goal and document sufficient funds to complete the project before funding. This reflects the foundation's strategic priority to invest in initiatives that demonstrate clear objectives, a plan for execution, and a mechanism for accountability and impact measurement. The foundation's theory of change emphasizes empowering organizations to achieve greater effectiveness and self-sufficiency, ultimately leading to enhanced individual and community well-being in its target regions.

The program aims to divert people from homelessness through the Coordinated Entry assessment process, facilitating housing placement, crisis intervention, and follow-up supportive services. The City of Denton acts as the donor for this grant, with a grant duration of two years, running from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026. The funding range for the grant is between $100,000 to $500,000, with a maximum annual request of $125,450. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are people and households experiencing homelessness, particularly those living on the street. The impact goals are centered around providing comprehensive support to these individuals, ensuring they have access to housing and necessary supportive services. This includes diverting individuals from homelessness, providing crisis intervention, and offering follow-up care to maintain housing stability. The program's strategic priorities are to enhance street outreach efforts, facilitate seamless access to housing through coordinated entry, and address various housing barriers that prevent individuals from securing stable accommodation. The grant prioritizes several key areas to achieve its objectives. These include funding qualified salaries for staff, supporting services that address housing barriers such as critical documents, emergency medication, or medical treatment, and providing behavioral health services. Additionally, financial costs that support diversion from homelessness are also a focus. The eligibility criteria for applying agencies underscore these priorities, requiring them to be 501(c)3 organizations in operation for over two years, providing services to the homeless, and having staff trained in addressing housing barriers, behavioral health referrals, data collection, and trauma-informed outreach. Agencies must also be actively using HMIS and participating in Denton’s Coordinated Entry process, including monthly case conferencing, and operating a current Street Outreach program. Expected outcomes and measurable results include an increase in the number of people diverted from homelessness, successful housing placements through the Coordinated Entry process, and improved access to supportive services. The emphasis on data collection and HMIS utilization suggests a commitment to tracking these outcomes, allowing for a quantitative assessment of the program's effectiveness in reducing homelessness and improving the well-being of the target population.

This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to improve health in Central Texas, specifically by increasing access to healthcare coverage and related support services.

The program targets individuals, communities, and organizations that either directly enroll people in health insurance or provide support in the eligibility determination and enrollment process. The impact goals are centered on enhancing health equity and access to care by ensuring more Central Texans gain health insurance coverage, thereby reducing the burden of uninsured individuals and improving overall community health outcomes. The "We All Benefit" open call prioritizes organizations or collaboratives that demonstrate a clear focus on health insurance enrollment and support services.

Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Central Texans enrolled in health insurance benefits and a strengthening of the support infrastructure for eligibility determination and enrollment. Measurable results will likely be tied to the number of individuals successfully enrolled, the reach of outreach and education initiatives, and the capacity building of organizations involved in this work.
