The City of Fort Myers Special Event Grant program aims to support qualified 501(c)(3) organizations by providing limited City-provided services for special events. This initiative aligns with the city's mission to enhance community well-being by fostering recreational, cultural, and educational opportunities, thereby promoting a sense of belonging and collective identity among residents. The program is designed to provide essential services such as trash pickup, police services, permits, barricades, signage, and facility rental, which are critical for the successful execution of public events. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are 501(c)(3) designated organizations that host special events within the City of Fort Myers. The program's impact goals include providing event-related economic support to these organizations and creating opportunities for tourism development, which in turn stimulates the local economy. By alleviating some of the financial and logistical burdens associated with event management, the grant enables these organizations to offer a wider range of activities that benefit the community. The grant prioritizes events held on or in City-owned and operated facilities, parks, and streets, ensuring that public resources are utilized to their fullest potential for community engagement. The focus is on facilitating events that enrich the cultural fabric of Fort Myers, promote community cohesion, and attract visitors, thereby contributing to both the social and economic vitality of the city. The City's strategic priority is to leverage these events as a mechanism for community building and economic growth. Expected outcomes of the program include an increase in the number and quality of special events offered in Fort Myers, enhanced community participation in recreational and cultural activities, and a measurable boost in local tourism. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in terms of quantifiable metrics beyond the types of services provided, the success of the program is intrinsically linked to the successful execution of a diverse range of special events and their perceived value to the community and local economy. The City's theory of change posits that by providing direct service support, it empowers non-profit organizations to deliver high-quality events that achieve these broader community and economic development objectives.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications for a U54 Specialized Center (henceforth: Consortium) to provide resources, expertise, and coordination to advance innovative, high-quality research on palliative care for those with serious illness across the lifespan. This research infrastructure will encompass Alzheimers disease and Alzheimers disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), cancer, and other serious illnesses and populations relevant to the partnering Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs). NIH currently funds many palliative care research projects across the ICOs, and there is a need for a structure to leverage synergies, coordinate efforts, develop the scientific workforce, and address remaining gaps in the field. The goals of this initiative include generating new scientific knowledge, in part through supporting pilot and exploratory studies; fostering development of early- and mid-career palliative care investigators; serving as a national platform to provide research resources and facilitate high-quality palliative care research; engaging healthcare systems and community-based organizations as research partners and settings for palliative care research; and disseminating research findings, best practices, data, and other impactful resources to the palliative care research and clinical communities. An important focus of the Consortiums work will be on facilitating research to understand and address disparities in access, quality, and use of palliative care services for health disparities populations or in underserved areas.

The Community Fund is an annual grant program by the Philadelphia City Fund, aligning with the city's goals to enhance residents' quality of life. This initiative supports charitable projects addressing Philadelphia's most pressing needs. The funding is a result of a partnership with the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend, which contributes a portion of its annual revenues to the fund. For the 2024 cycle, the program specifically focuses on youth wellness, promoting lifelong healthy activity, and nurturing healthy minds, bodies, and spirits through out-of-school time programming. The target beneficiaries are youth aged pre-K through 12th grade in Philadelphia, particularly those participating in out-of-school time (OST) programs. The program aims to support their healthy physical, social, educational, and emotional development. The impact goal is to increase equitable access to OST programming across the city, with a preference for organizations serving specific Priority ZIP Codes (19120, 19124, 19132, 19134, 19138, 19139, 19141, and 19144) identified through an analysis of quality of life metrics and OST slot distribution. The fund prioritizes small nonprofit organizations with annual operating budgets not exceeding $5 million that provide OST programming to youth in Philadelphia. Grantees will receive $25,000 in unrestricted funds, which can be used for general operations, programmatic activities, or other mission-supporting costs. Applicants are expected to demonstrate how their organization's mission and/or programming aligns with the "Nurturing healthy minds, bodies, and spirits through out-of-school time programming" theme. The expected outcome is improved well-being and safety for youth in Philadelphia through enhanced access to comprehensive OST programming. While specific measurable results beyond the funding allocation and unrestricted nature of the grants are not explicitly detailed, the focus on priority ZIP codes and the definition of OST programming suggest an intention to measure the reach and impact on youth development in underserved areas. Grantees will be expected to comply with Pennsylvania childcare regulations and maintain necessary insurance coverage during the one-year grant term, starting February 2025.
