The Sid W. Richardson Foundation provides grants to support the missions of non-profit organizations serving the people of Texas, with a focus on educational, health, human service, and cultural programs and projects. Established in 1947 by Sid W. Richardson, the Foundation began distributing major grants in 1962, following the availability of substantial income from assets from Richardson's estate. Despite Richardson's global interests, his primary concern remained with the people of his home state of Texas. The Foundation, through its Board of Directors and staff, continues to fulfill his vision by prioritizing grants that directly benefit clients or target audiences, particularly in smaller communities and rural areas. Grants are not available to individuals but are made primarily to organizations within Texas, especially those in the Fort Worth area for human services and cultural organizations. Grant renewed every year. Annual Spring deadline: February 1st.

The West Haven ARPA Grant, administered by The Arts Council of Greater New Haven (ACGNH) in partnership with ArtsWest CT, aims to rapidly stimulate arts and culture activity in West Haven, CT. With $116,250 of ARPA funds from the City of West Haven, the program seeks to distribute microgrants of $2,500-$10,000 to artists, arts organizations, and creative businesses within the city. This initiative aligns with the ACGNH's mission to support and foster arts and culture within the greater New Haven area, extending its reach to West Haven to ensure a vibrant creative economy and community engagement. The target beneficiaries for these microgrants are individuals over 18 years of age, or organizations/collectives with a representative over 18, who are either based in West Haven or proposing a project that directly serves the West Haven community. The primary impact goal is to stimulate artistic, historical, and/or culturally-specific activities within West Haven during the project period of July-August 2024. The program prioritizes proposals that demonstrate feasibility and can be easily executed within the short timeframe, with a strong emphasis on projects that foster equity and inclusion, and strengthen community ties within West Haven. The grant focuses on two main categories for the use of funds: General Operating Support (GOS) and Project Support. GOS includes expenses like rent, equipment purchases/rentals, subscriptions, printing/mailing, and contract labor (e.g., graphic designers, consultants). Project Support covers physical materials, ground transportation, commissions, contract labor (e.g., performers, consultants, designers), advertising, and venue rental. Notably, expenses for salaried employees paid via payroll (W-2 employees) are not eligible, and recipients will receive a 1099, responsible for their own income taxes. Expected outcomes include a rapid increase in arts and culture activities within West Haven during the summer of 2024, with measurable results tied to the feasibility, equity, and community impact of the funded projects. The evaluation criteria, Feasibility, Equity + Inclusion, and Community, are designed to guide applicants towards projects that are not only achievable within the project period but also actively incorporate, serve, and support historically marginalized residents and activate and elevate the broader West Haven community through partnerships. This strategic approach reflects a theory of change where targeted financial support, with an emphasis on local engagement and accessible execution, leads to a flourishing local arts scene and enhanced community well-being.

The 2025 Juvenile Justice Community Agency Grants from Ingham County aim to provide financial support to community agencies, primarily non-profit organizations. This grant program is aligned with the Ingham County Board of Commissioners' mission to utilize a portion of the Juvenile Justice Millage proceeds to further the goals and objectives of the County’s Juvenile Justice Millage. The overarching goal is to increase the capacity of the county's juvenile justice system. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are delinquent and disturbed youth within Ingham County. The program's core impact goal is to reduce the involvement of these youth in the formal adjudication process. By supporting community agencies, the county seeks to offer effective treatment and intervention strategies that divert youth from deeper engagement with the justice system. The grant prioritizes proposals from qualified vendors that can demonstrate a clear ability to enhance the county's juvenile justice system. The focus is on increasing capacity for treatment and support services, ultimately leading to a reduction in formal adjudications. The program emphasizes community-based solutions and aims to leverage the expertise of local non-profit organizations. Expected outcomes include an increased availability of effective treatment programs for at-risk youth and a measurable decrease in the number of youth entering or progressing through the formal juvenile justice system. While specific measurable results are not detailed in terms of percentages or absolute numbers within the provided text, the intent is clear: to see a tangible reduction in youth involvement in formal adjudication. The funding cycle makes $240,000 available for these efforts, underscoring the county's strategic priority to invest in prevention and early intervention within its juvenile justice framework.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) is offering the Community Tree Planting Program, funded by the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) through the 2008 State Legislature. This grant program is administered by the Division of Forestry’s Urban and Community Forestry Program. The core mission of this grant is to increase the tree resource base in cities and towns across Tennessee, focusing on the functional benefits of urban trees rather than solely on beautification. The primary beneficiaries of this program are communities and local units of government, non-profit organizations, and elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions within Tennessee. The impact goal is to enhance the state's urban tree resources to provide direct cost-saving benefits to communities. These benefits include energy savings through shading, storm water mitigation, rain interception, and improved air quality through filtration and absorption. The program's priorities and focuses are explicitly not beautification but rather the practical, environmental services that trees provide. It emphasizes that trees are "work horses for communities." Recommended goals and objectives for applicants include statements about urban trees providing cooler temperatures, cleaner air, reduced flooding and erosion, improved human health, and food and shelter for wildlife. Expected outcomes and measurable results revolve around the increase in the tree resource base and the subsequent realization of the aforementioned environmental and economic benefits. While specific metrics are not detailed in the provided text, the focus on quantifiable benefits like energy savings and storm water mitigation implies an expectation of measurable improvements in these areas. The grant contracts will run from December 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025, suggesting that the initial outcomes will be assessed within this timeframe. Eligible applicants can apply for grants ranging from $500 to $20,000, which further indicates a focus on smaller, community-level projects with clear, achievable objectives.

The City of Bellevue is requesting proposals for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, estimated at $1,000,000 in PY2025 funds. This program seeks to support non-construction Capital projects, such as architectural and engineering costs, single-family home rehabilitation, weatherization, acquisition or pre-acquisition costs, and Economic Development projects, specifically microenterprise business assistance. The program aligns with a mission to improve community infrastructure and economic opportunities, while not focusing on public services like homeless services or food banks at this time. The target beneficiaries include residents and businesses within Bellevue who would benefit from improved housing, community facilities, and economic development opportunities, particularly through microenterprise support. The impact goals are to enhance the physical and economic well-being of the community through strategic investments in capital projects and business development. This contributes to the broader community development objectives set forth by the City of Bellevue and HUD. The City's priorities include funding projects that comply with U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) CDBG program regulations (24 CFR Part 570). Specific focuses include the acquisition of real property, pre-acquisition costs, design-related and other soft costs for non-construction projects, acquisition/rehabilitation of public facilities, home repair/rehabilitation, maintenance, weatherization activities, and microenterprise business assistance and development. Nonprofit organizations or public agencies are eligible to implement these projects, with a preference for those with a verifiable history of receiving and administering funds from HUD. Expected outcomes include improved housing conditions for single-family homes through rehabilitation and weatherization, enhanced public facilities, and increased economic stability through microenterprise development. Measurable results could include the number of homes rehabilitated, public facilities improved, new microenterprises supported, and jobs created or retained through economic development initiatives. The City makes no guarantees regarding funding availability, as it is dependent on the 2025 federal CDBG budget and other factors. Projects selected will be part of the 2025-2029 CDBG Consolidated Plan, indicating a long-term strategic approach to community development.
