The Community Reinvestment Fund is a capital grant program established by the Delaware General Assembly, designed to foster community redevelopment, revitalization, and investment capital projects. Its overarching mission is to improve the economic, cultural, historical, and recreational health of Delaware communities. This program aligns with a strategic priority to enhance local well-being and stimulate growth across various sectors within the state. The target beneficiaries of this grant program include county and local governments, community-based nonprofit organizations, and private sector nonprofit organizations that hold a 501(c)3 designation at the time of application. The program specifically excludes state agencies, school districts, charter schools, private schools, institutions of higher education, childcare facilities, churches, fire companies, fiscal agents, and for-profit organizations. The impact goals are broad, aiming for a holistic improvement in community health. The program prioritizes projects that involve preconstruction costs, land acquisition, building construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or restoration. It also supports the acquisition or installation of apparatus or equipment permanently attached to buildings, and the acquisition and improvement of land for project sites. Furthermore, the construction of sidewalks, sewers, or water mains connecting to public systems are eligible. These priorities demonstrate a focus on tangible, capital-intensive projects that build or restore essential community infrastructure. The expected outcomes and measurable results include the successful completion of capital projects that contribute to the economic, cultural, historical, and recreational health of Delaware communities. While specific metrics are not detailed, the emphasis on "redevelopment," "revitalization," and "investment" suggests a theory of change where targeted capital injections lead to observable improvements in community assets and overall quality of life. The program implicitly aims for a ripple effect, where improved infrastructure and facilities foster greater community engagement, economic activity, and cultural preservation.

The Chilkat Valley Community Foundation (CVCF), an affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation (ACF), is offering grants to qualified, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (or equivalents like Tribal entities, schools, and faith-based organizations) that support charitable programs in the Chilkat Valley area. This grant program aligns with the foundation's mission to address a broad range of community needs. Grants are available in three categories: Operating Support, New Program and Special Project, and Capital Grants. The typical grant awards range from $500-$3,500, with an overall grant size ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. The target beneficiaries are organizations serving the Chilkat Valley, with an emphasis on local, sustainable organizations for operating support, and those undertaking new or special projects. The impact goals are to support various community needs including health and wellness, education, the great outdoors, arts and culture, and community development. Capital grants are also available for construction, remodel, renovation, technology, furniture, and equipment, aiming to enhance the infrastructure and resources of community organizations. The program prioritizes organizations that are tax-exempt 501(c)(3) or equivalent. Capital Grant applicants receive extra scoring points if they have previously applied for other grants for the same project. Ineligible organizations include individuals, for-profits, specific non-profits (501(c)(4), 501(c)(6)), non-Alaska based organizations, private foundations, government agencies, and ad hoc groups. Activities such as religious indoctrination, endowment building, fundraising, lobbying, and political activities are also ineligible. Exceptions are made for faith-based organizations or governmental units whose proposals broadly benefit the community, and ineligible organizations can apply through fiscal sponsorship. Expected outcomes include the completion of grant projects within one year of the award, subject to the grantee completing an online grant agreement. The measurable results are tied to the successful implementation of supported programs and projects, contributing to the health, education, cultural enrichment, environmental preservation, and overall development of the Chilkat Valley. The foundation's strategic priority is to foster a vibrant community by supporting a diverse array of charitable initiatives, operating under the theory that targeted financial assistance to qualifying organizations will lead to improved community well-being and sustained local development.

The Connection, Health, & Equity through Food (CHEF) Grant Program is a collaborative initiative across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Eastern Massachusetts, and Upstate New York, administered by the Maine Council on Aging. The program's core mission is to increase older adults’ equitable access to healthy food and social connection, aligning with a broader goal of addressing systemic issues like food insecurity and social isolation. This grant program seeks to support older adults by fostering programmatic infrastructure, expanding existing programs, and launching innovative new initiatives that cater to their food and social connection needs. The target beneficiaries of the CHEF Grant Program are primarily older adults, with a specific focus on underserved and marginalized populations. These include BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQ+, women, veterans, people living with disabilities, and individuals residing in rural communities. The program's impact goals are centered on enhancing the quality of life for these older adults by improving their access to nutritious food and opportunities for social engagement. Projects that serve diverse older people, veterans, and older people living with disabilities are given priority. The CHEF program prioritizes finding solutions to the root causes of food insecurity and social isolation. These root causes include poverty, transportation barriers, rurality, and language barriers. While the grant does not explicitly detail the foundation's strategic priorities or a formal theory of change, the emphasis on equitable access, addressing systemic issues, and supporting vulnerable populations suggests a strategy focused on community-based interventions and empowerment. The program's design indicates a theory that by investing in local organizations and initiatives, significant improvements can be made in the well-being of older adults. Expected outcomes include increased access to healthy food for older adults, enhanced social connections within communities, and a reduction in the prevalence of food insecurity and social isolation among the target populations. While specific measurable results are not explicitly outlined, the program's focus on data for older people served (50.1% of the overall population served) suggests an intent to track the reach and impact on the primary beneficiary group. The grant duration is not mentioned, but the anticipated grant size of $2,000 – $10,000 for most grants indicates support for projects with tangible, localized impacts.
