Grants for Independent School Districts

The City of Boulder Health Equity Fund (HEF) Request for Proposals (RFP) is designed to support community-based health equity programs for Boulder residents experiencing health disparities. The fund aims to reduce systemic socio-economic and health barriers, aligning with the city's mission to achieve health equity—defined as the absence of systematic health disparities and the ability of all residents to reach their full health potential regardless of life circumstances. This initiative directly supports health and wellness programs that address these disparities. The target beneficiaries of the HEF include residents disproportionately impacted by diseases linked to sugar-sweetened beverage consumption or targeted by SSB marketing, those lacking access to healthy food, safe water, quality health care, wellness information, and health care services, and populations systemically disenfranchised due to race, ethnicity, income, age, ability, sexual orientation, or gender identification. The primary impact goal is to improve health equity and reduce health disparities within these vulnerable communities. The HEF prioritizes programs that benefit individuals most affected by or at increased risk from chronic diseases linked to sugary drink consumption, or who generally experience health disparities. Key focuses include health services for prevention of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and oral diseases, increased access to healthy food and clean water, wellness programs, and physical fitness. The program also emphasizes leadership diversity reflective of client demographics, alignment with program priorities, evidence-based practices, and valuing lived experience and cultural knowledge. Expected outcomes and measurable results include long-term evaluation of outcomes, meaningful engagement of community members in program design and implementation, strong collaborations, cost-effectiveness, and demonstrated financial stability and diverse funding sources for applying agencies. The City of Boulder's strategic priority is to fund programs that directly address health inequities and contribute to a community where all residents can achieve their full health potential. The underlying theory of change is that by investing in targeted, community-based health and wellness programs, the city can systematically dismantle health barriers and create a more equitable health landscape for its residents.

The Circle Michigan Foundation Field Trip Transportation Grant Program is designed to provide financial assistance for transportation to Michigan schools. This program aligns with the Foundation's mission to support educational institutions within the State of Michigan, specifically K-12 educational institutions, by removing financial barriers to field trip participation. The grant aims to facilitate enriching educational experiences for students that might otherwise be inaccessible due to transportation costs. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are K-12 educational institutions located in Michigan, serving all counties within the state. The primary impact goal is to enable a greater number of students to participate in field trips, thereby enhancing their learning experiences and exposure to diverse educational opportunities. The Foundation prioritizes supporting schools in Michigan to ensure that students across the state have equitable access to these valuable educational outings. The program focuses on providing transportation grants, addressing a specific and often significant cost associated with field trips. While the exact size of individual grants is not available, the program is designed for a duration of less than one year, with an application period from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, and a deadline for applications on June 30, 2024. This structured timeline ensures efficient allocation of funds for the upcoming academic year's field trip planning. Expected outcomes include an increase in the number of field trips undertaken by Michigan schools and a corresponding increase in student participation. Measurable results would involve tracking the number of grants awarded, the schools benefiting, and potentially the number of students impacted. The Circle Michigan Foundation's strategic priority in this instance is to directly invest in the educational development of Michigan's youth by ensuring access to practical, outside-the-classroom learning experiences. Their theory of change suggests that by alleviating transportation costs, more students will be able to engage in educational field trips, leading to improved learning outcomes and broader experiential knowledge.
