The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln is inviting nonprofit organizations to apply for its Community Grants Program. This program aims to support charitable initiatives within specific geographic limitations, aligning with the Foundation's mission to strengthen the communities in the Land of Lincoln. The grant program seeks to fund projects that address community needs and enhance the quality of life for residents within the designated counties. The target beneficiaries for this program are the residents of Cass, Christian, Logan, Macoupin, Menard, Montgomery, Morgan, and Sangamon Counties in Illinois. Eligible organizations include 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, faith-based organizations (provided proposals benefit all regardless of religion and are not religious in nature), public or private schools (for projects exceeding their budget funding), and some government entities or municipalities. The program focuses on supporting a wide array of community-benefiting projects. While specific impact goals and expected outcomes are not explicitly detailed in terms of measurable results, the program's general objective is to foster community improvement and address local challenges. The funding information indicates multiple grant awards of up to $5,000 each, implying a strategy to support various smaller-scale projects that collectively contribute to broader community well-being. The selection criteria suggest a priority for well-structured proposals from eligible organizations that demonstrate a clear benefit to the community. The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln's strategic priorities, as evidenced by this program, appear to center on broad community support and capacity building for local organizations. By offering grants to a diverse range of entities, the Foundation likely aims to create a ripple effect of positive change across the specified counties. The theory of change seems to be that by providing financial resources to local organizations, these organizations can then effectively implement programs and services that directly benefit the community, thereby contributing to the overall strength and vitality of the Land of Lincoln.

The grant aims to foster a vibrant arts scene, recognize and champion local cultural resources, and discover new places for artmaking, directly supporting the city's commitment to cultural development and community well-being.

The program prioritizes organizations that can demonstrate artistic experience, an understanding of West Hollywood's unique cultural diversity, and a commitment to serving the general public within the city or immediately adjacent areas. Projects that do not include fundraisers, capital campaigns, murals, or religious-based programs are eligible, maintaining a clear focus on public arts presentations.

While specific quantitative metrics are not detailed in the provided text, the emphasis on "increasing access," "expanding audiences," and "increasing revenues for local businesses" indicates the desire for demonstrable positive impacts in these areas. The City of West Hollywood's strategic priorities for this grant reflect a theory of change that postulates that by investing in local arts organizations and projects, the city can foster a more engaged, culturally rich, and economically robust community.

OCPE is charged with promoting instruction and training on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. USCIS recognizes that naturalization is a key milestone in the civic integration of immigrants. Naturalization requirements, such as knowledge of English, U.S. history, and government, encourage civic learning and build a strong foundation upon which immigrants can fully integrate into American society. Through preparing for naturalization, immigrants gain tools to become successful citizens and meet their responsibilities as United States citizens. The goal of the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program is to expand the availability of high-quality citizenship preparation services for lawful permanent residents (LPRs) across the nation and to provide opportunities for immigrants to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate into the fabric of American society. Since it began in 2009, the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program has awarded more than $55 million through 644 competitive grants to immigrant-serving organizations in 41 states and the District of Columbia. Now in its 16th year, the program has helped more than 300,000 LPRs prepare for citizenship.The Citizenship Integration Training Academy (CITA) funding opportunity aims to train a new cadre of citizenship instructors and oversee the development of new citizenship programs. This funding will provide support to organizations that have not previously received USCIS grant funding. In year one of the grant, the CITA will provide twelve months of rigorous, mandatory virtual training for grant recipient staff designed to impart the requisite technical skills, knowledge, and capacity to enable them to establish and implement a high-quality citizenship education program for LPRs in years two and three. During years two and three, program implementation will be closely followed and supported by USCIS staff, who will provide technical assistance to grant recipients. This grant also offers an optional component for funded organizations to pursue and establish a naturalization application services program staffed by two Department of Justice (DOJ) Accredited Representatives. Interested organizations may independently pursue status as a Department of Justice (DOJ) Recognized Organization during year one, with the cost of this training and designated staff time reimbursed through Citizenship and Integration Training Academy (CITA) grant funding. During years two and three, participating grant recipients will begin offering naturalization application services in conjunction with their citizenship education program.
