The Santa Fe Community Foundation's Piñon Awards program recognizes local nonprofit organizations that have made extraordinary contributions to the community in northern New Mexico. These awards align with the Foundation's mission to strengthen the community by supporting impactful organizations. The program's strategic priorities are to identify and honor nonprofits demonstrating courageous innovation, quiet inspiration, resiliency, and consistent, high-quality programs.

The Courageous Innovation Award celebrates new solutions to persistent problems, based on sound theory. The Quiet Inspiration Award honors organizations working respectfully within the community, earning long-term support and trust. The Resiliency Award acknowledges efforts to build resilience in vulnerable communities facing emergencies and systemic injustices. Finally, the Tried & True Award recognizes organizations with over a decade of consistent, high-quality service despite external changes. Expected outcomes include increased visibility and recognition for these high-impact organizations, fostering continued excellence and innovation in the nonprofit sector. While specific measurable results for the Piñon Awards themselves are not detailed as quantitative metrics in the provided text, the criteria for winning nonprofits, such as a proven track record and alignment with funding priorities, serve as qualitative indicators of successful impact within the community. The Foundation's theory of change, implicit in these awards, is that by recognizing and celebrating effective organizations, it encourages best practices, strengthens the local nonprofit ecosystem, and ultimately contributes to the overall well-being and resilience of northern New Mexico.

The District of Columbia Department of Human Services (DHS), Family Services Administration (FSA), is offering a grant for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 to provide Emergency Shelter and Supportive Services, Non-residential Counseling and Case Management, and Education and Outreach. This grant aligns with the federal Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) state grant, which DHS administers in partnership with the DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence (DCCADV). The program's mission is to prevent incidents of family, domestic, and dating violence, and to provide comprehensive support for survivors and their dependents. This directly aligns with the broader goal of fostering community safety and well-being by addressing the root causes and immediate needs related to violence. The target beneficiaries of this grant are survivors of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, and their dependents. This includes children exposed to violence, underserved populations, and victims from racial and ethnic minority populations. The impact goals are to provide immediate shelter and supportive services, offer access to community-based programs, and deliver specialized services that address the unique needs of vulnerable groups. The program aims to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals and families impacted by violence, enabling them to heal and rebuild their lives. The grant prioritizes three key categories: Shelter and Supportive Services, Non-residential Counseling and Case Management, and Education and Outreach. The funding allocation reflects these priorities, with the largest portion dedicated to Shelter and Supportive Services ($567,522.20), followed by equal amounts for Non-residential Counseling and Case Management ($101,343.25) and Education and Outreach ($101,343.25). These categories are designed to provide a holistic approach to addressing violence, from immediate crisis intervention to long-term prevention and recovery. The strategic priorities are to establish, maintain, and expand programs that effectively prevent violence and support survivors. Expected outcomes include a reduction in incidents of family, domestic, and dating violence, increased access to immediate shelter and supportive services for survivors, and enhanced community-based programs. Measurable results would involve tracking the number of individuals served, the duration of shelter provided, the utilization of counseling and case management services, and the reach of education and outreach initiatives. The theory of change posits that by providing comprehensive and culturally appropriate services, the program can empower survivors, prevent future violence, and foster safer communities for all. The total estimated program award funding for this grant is $770,209.00, with an award period from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. Eligibility criteria specify that entities must be a local public agency or a nonprofit private organization (including faith-based, charitable, community-based, tribal, and voluntary associations) with a documented history of effective work concerning family, domestic, or dating violence. Partnerships of two or more agencies or organizations, including one with the described experience and another with a demonstrated history of serving populations with culturally appropriate services, are also eligible.
