The "Level Up LB: Extreme Small Business Makeover and Grant Program," launched by the City of Long Beach, is an initiative designed to enhance the success and sustainability of small businesses. While the description doesn't explicitly detail a "foundation mission alignment," the program itself aligns with the broader civic mission of economic development and community prosperity. By empowering local entrepreneurs, the City of Long Beach aims to strengthen its local economy and foster a vibrant business environment, thereby contributing to the overall well-being of its residents and community. The program targets small businesses located and operating within Long Beach, California, with a storefront accessible to the public. Eligible businesses must have been in operation for a minimum of three years as of April 23, 2024, be independently-owned for-profit entities (including sole proprietorships, LLCs, or Corporations that are not publicly traded), or 501(c)3 nonprofits. They must hold an active or delinquent City of Long Beach business license, be currently open and active, and earn no more than $5 million in annual gross revenue. Corporations, LLCs, and limited partnerships must have an "ACTIVE" status with the California Secretary of State. The program excludes businesses without a physical location, permanently closed businesses, government entities, political/lobbying activities, passive businesses, religious organizations, financial lending businesses, landlords/property managers (unless repairing on behalf of a small business), illegal activities, socially undesirable activities (e.g., check cashing), businesses with active code enforcement/COVID-19 Health Order violations, and cannabis-related businesses. The program's priorities and focuses include igniting growth and fostering excellence among Long Beach's small businesses. Through no-cost training sessions, participants will receive comprehensive support in strategic business planning, marketing, branding, social media optimization, access to capital, government procurement, permitting/licensing, merchandising, networking, biz-to-biz mentorship, talent recruitment, and personalized business counseling. A selection committee will determine program participants and grant awards based on representation across all parts of the city (with priority for low-to-moderate income areas), representation across multiple sectors, and business readiness and potential impact of program participation. Expected outcomes and measurable results include participants becoming eligible to apply for $10,000 grants upon completion of the program, which are intended to empower them to expand their business capacity and enhance resilience. The City’s Economic Development Department will select a group of 25 small businesses for this exclusive opportunity. The focus on comprehensive workshops and subsequent grant eligibility directly aims to translate the acquired knowledge and resources into tangible business expansion and increased sustainability. While specific quantitative metrics for growth and resilience are not detailed, the program's structure implies that the successful utilization of the grants and learned strategies will be key indicators of impact.

The Placer County Air Pollution Control District's Clean Air Grant (CAG) Program is designed to provide monetary grants to private companies and public agencies. The core mission of this program aligns with the broader goal of improving air quality by incentivizing actions that reduce emissions from heavy-duty engines. This goes beyond existing legal or regulatory requirements, encouraging a proactive approach to environmental stewardship. The program's strategic priority is to accelerate California's transition towards zero and near-zero emission technologies, addressing both local air quality and broader climate change concerns. The target beneficiaries of the CAG Program are diverse and include private companies, public agencies, and specific segments within these, such as small fleets for off-road funding, and entities operating school buses. A significant portion of the funds is reserved for projects located within or directly benefitting low-income communities, indicating a strong focus on environmental justice and equitable distribution of environmental benefits. The impact goals are centered on achieving surplus emission reductions, particularly from heavy-duty on-road and off-road equipment, and supporting infrastructure for cleaner technologies. The program prioritizes several key areas. These include agricultural portable and stationary engine repower and infrastructure, alternative fuel infrastructure (such as battery charging, natural gas, and hydrogen fueling stations), heavy-duty on- and off-road equipment replacement, repower, and retrofit, and school bus replacement. There is a clear emphasis on zero-emission technology and infrastructure, which is a guiding principle for the program. The District also considers special projects for sensitive receptors, further demonstrating a commitment to protecting vulnerable populations from air pollution. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in air toxics, criteria air pollutants, and greenhouse gas emissions. The program aims to achieve these reductions through investments that directly benefit impacted communities. While specific measurable results are not detailed in terms of quantifiable targets (e.g., "reduce NOx by X tons"), the guiding principles suggest a commitment to considering cost-effectiveness and exposure reduction in funding decisions, implying a data-driven approach to evaluating impact. Transparency in project selections and reporting is also a stated guiding principle, which will contribute to the accountability and effectiveness of the program.

This mission aligns directly with the foundation's strategic priorities to address critical needs within communities, particularly in Dallas, Texas, and its surrounding areas. The foundation's theory of change appears to be rooted in the belief that by investing in these key areas, they can foster stronger, healthier, and more educated communities, leading to improved quality of life for those who are most vulnerable. The target beneficiaries of the Luse Foundation's grants are primarily underserved populations within Dallas, Texas, and its surrounding communities. The foundation gives special consideration to charitable organizations that directly serve these specific geographic and demographic groups. The impact goals are broad, aiming to enhance the quality of education, human services, and health care available to these populations, thereby addressing systemic disparities and improving overall community well-being. The foundation's priorities and focuses are clearly delineated into three program types: Education, Health, and Human Services. These areas represent the core pillars of their funding strategy, ensuring that grants are directed towards initiatives that create tangible benefits in these essential sectors. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not detailed in the provided information, it can be inferred that the foundation seeks to fund programs that demonstrate clear objectives and the potential for positive, measurable change within their respective fields. The majority of grants from the Luse Foundation are for a duration of one year, indicating a preference for projects with a defined timeframe and the ability to demonstrate progress within that period. While the size of the grant is not available, the focus on specific program types and geographical areas suggests a strategic approach to funding that prioritizes impact and alignment with the foundation's core mission.

The Alabama RC&D Grants program focuses on enhancing human and natural resources to improve the quality of life for citizens across all counties in Alabama. This initiative, supported by the Alabama Association of RC&D Councils, provides grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, with funding information specifying awards between $5,000.00 and $25,000.00. The program aims to align with a mission of fostering community well-being through strategic project investments. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are local Alabama citizens, with a broad impact goal of improving their overall quality of life. The program achieves this by supporting projects in various key areas, including natural resources conservation, community facilities and services, tourism, and economic development. These projects are intended to create tangible benefits that directly address community needs and promote sustainable growth. The program's priorities for FY 2024-2025 are structured into three main categories: General Funds, Education Funds, and Workforce/Community Training. General Funds prioritize projects related to natural resources conservation, community facilities and services, and tourism and economic development. Education Funds focus on K-12 outdoor education, education benefiting small farmers and community gardens, and K-12 technology. Workforce/Community Training emphasizes projects covering multiple council regions, with a preference for those submitted by RC&D councils or partnering organizations. Expected outcomes include enhanced natural environments, improved community infrastructure, stimulated local economies, and increased educational opportunities. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the broad impact goals, the focus on distinct project categories suggests that success will be measured by the successful implementation and observable benefits within these areas. Eligibility requires applicants to be registered 501c3 non-profits or governmental units/sub-units, ensuring that funded projects are implemented by established and accountable entities. The program has clear restrictions, disallowing funding for operational/administration phases, salaries, endowment campaigns, religious purposes, individuals, development/public relations activities, land/property purchases, or post-event situations. These restrictions help ensure that grant funds are directed towards new, impactful projects rather than ongoing operational costs or activities outside the program's core mission. This strategic allocation of resources reflects the foundation's theory of change, which posits that targeted project funding in these key areas will lead to a better quality of life for Alabama citizens.

The Ethel and James Flinn Foundation is offering grants specifically for children and youth mental health, aligning with its mission to improve behavioral health service delivery. The foundation recognizes that a significant number of children and adolescents with mental health and substance use disorders do not receive adequate treatment, with 1 in 5 children aged 13 to 18 experiencing serious mental illness, half by age 14 and 75% by age 24. This grant program aims to address this critical gap by supporting the implementation of Children's Mental Health Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs). The primary beneficiaries of these grants are children and young people (21 years old and younger) in southeast Michigan, particularly in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, or Washtenaw counties. The foundation may also consider programs benefiting a major portion of the State of Michigan. The impact goals are centered around improving access to and quality of behavioral health services for this vulnerable population, ultimately leading to better mental health outcomes and earlier intervention. The grants are open to local or state governmental agencies and non-profit organizations that provide mental health care and services. The foundation prioritizes proposals that focus on several key areas. These include implementing infant mental health models for at-risk parents (zero to three), integrating developmental screening and treatment in early childhood settings (four to six), and establishing pediatric screening and treatment models in primary care and school-based clinics. Additionally, the foundation supports various therapeutic interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, family psychoeducation, trauma-informed care, and applied behavior therapy. Crucially, it also emphasizes diversion programs to steer children and youth with mental health disorders away from the juvenile justice system and into appropriate treatment, as well as best practice peer support models. While the foundation does not endorse a specific list of evidence-based practices, its strategic priorities and theory of change are evident in its focus on these areas. By supporting a range of evidence-based practices and models, the foundation expects to see measurable results in improved behavioral health service delivery. This includes increased access to mental health care, earlier detection and intervention for mental health disorders, and effective therapeutic outcomes. The allocation of approximately $500,000 for 2024, with two-year grant requests ranging from $50,000 to $75,000 per year, underscores a commitment to sustained impact over the grant period of January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026.
