The Generosity Collective, a giving circle dedicated to Springfield, operates by bringing like-minded individuals together to pool donations, learn about high-priority community issues, and collectively determine grant recipients. This process aligns with the Community Foundation of the Ozarks' mission by fostering community engagement and addressing critical local needs through a collaborative grantmaking approach. By focusing on issues identified in the Community Focus Report for Springfield & Greene County, the Collective ensures its efforts are strategically aligned with the most pressing challenges faced by the community. The grant program targets specific beneficiaries within the Springfield, Missouri area, including low-income students in need of preschool and pre-K programs, children at risk of abuse and neglect, individuals struggling with mental health and substance-use problems, and residents affected by the shortage of safe, affordable housing. The impact goals are to address economic disparities affecting early childhood development, reduce child abuse and neglect, improve mental health and substance abuse outcomes, and increase access to safe, affordable housing. The program's priorities are directly drawn from the identified categories in the Community Focus Report, ensuring that funding is directed towards areas of greatest need. The Generosity Collective has chosen four grantmaking categories for 2024: Economic Disparities Impacting Early Childhood Development, Child Abuse and Neglect, Mental Health and Substance-Use Problems, and Shortage of Safe, Affordable Housing. For each category, one agency will be selected to receive a $30,000 grant for a preferred 12-month grant period. The expected outcomes include improved kindergarten readiness for low-income students, a reduction in child abuse and neglect referrals, a decrease in suicide and overdose mortality rates, and an increase in the availability of affordable housing options. Measurable results will be tied to progress within each grantmaking category. For economic disparities in early childhood development, success could be measured by improved kindergarten readiness survey results for low-income students. For child abuse and neglect, a reduction in the number of referrals and the proportion of young children affected would be key indicators. In mental health and substance-use problems, a decrease in suicide and overdose mortality rates would demonstrate impact. For affordable housing, metrics could include the number of new affordable housing units developed, the proportion of residents with access to affordable housing, or the implementation of effective rental inspection programs. The Generosity Collective’s theory of change posits that by pooling resources and strategically funding initiatives in these high-priority areas, they can collectively confront pressing local issues and drive positive, measurable change within the Springfield community.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) plans to invest in a five-year cooperative agreement titled GH Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Activity to support countries in achieving desired improvements in health and development outcomes.The GH SBC Activity will build upon current USAID investments in SBC research and programming, including both global and bilateral projects, to guide integration of SBC evidence and theory in development programming, support generation and use of new learning, strengthen local technical and organizational capacity, and drive local leadership of SBC programming for better, broader, and more sustainable results. The project will fulfill a global leadership function within SBC, working through new and existing partnerships to create opportunities for locally-driven, innovative, and cost-effective SBC programs; systematic integration of SBC best practices within public and private health systems; and generating, synthesizing, and catalyzing the application of evidence-based and theory-informed SBC in diverse program settings to accelerate achievement of global health and development goals.The strategic objective of the project is to increase implementation of theory-informed, evidence-based, locally-led SBC programming. While focused primarily on health, the project may address SBC needs in other sectors, with particular attention to areas of potential complementarity such as environmental conservation, agriculture, food security, and nutrition. Within the health sector, the project will maintain a substantive but non-exclusive focus on family planning, reproductive health (FP/RH) and reproductive empowerment; malaria; and maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), with attention to emerging pandemic threats and other infectious diseases. Considerations of USAID priorities such as localization, gender integration, youth engagement/integration, health systems strengthening, the inclusion of LGBTQI+ people, the inclusion of people with physical and cognitive disabilities, engaging the voices, skills, and experiences of allincluding marginalized and underrepresented groups such as racial, ethnic, and Indigenous communities and climate change, will be a focus across the project.Please see the Full GH Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Activity RFA under the "Related Documents" tab.

The van Ameringen Foundation focuses on improving mental health services, particularly for those with limited financial means, within New York City and Philadelphia, and through national advocacy. Its mission is to increase accessibility to mental health services, offer preventive and early-intervention strategies, and advocate for systemic change. The foundation offers both general support and project-specific grants, aligning its funding directly with its core mission of fostering a more equitable and effective mental healthcare system for underserved populations. The primary beneficiaries of these grants are individuals and communities confronting significant mental illness, particularly those with limited financial means and opportunities. This includes people needing direct services like case management, counseling, psychotherapy, and psychiatric care, as well as those who benefit from systemic changes in law, public policy, and public perception. The impact goals are to enhance the mental health safety net, improve access to services, and create lasting, positive changes in mental healthcare delivery and perceptions. The foundation's priorities and focuses are clearly delineated into two main categories: Direct Service Grants and Non-Direct Service Grants. Direct Service Grants support programs that provide immediate and tangible assistance to individuals, such as housing, jobs, and various forms of mental health treatment. Non-Direct Service Grants encompass advocacy efforts to change policies, media/dissemination projects to share best practices and research, and training initiatives for mental health providers, advocates, and community members. The foundation explicitly does not fund programs for intellectual or physical disabilities, direct grants to individuals, endowment campaigns, capital projects, annual fundraising drives, or international activities. Expected outcomes include increased accessibility of mental health services, successful implementation of preventive and early-intervention strategies, and significant systemic changes with local or national impact. Measurable results could include the number of individuals served, improvements in patient outcomes, policy changes enacted, increased public awareness, and the number of mental health professionals trained. The foundation encourages innovative and practical proposals that demonstrate a clear path to achieving these outcomes. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on fostering innovation and practical solutions within the mental health sector. Its theory of change posits that by investing in direct services, advocating for policy reforms, disseminating knowledge, and building capacity through training, it can effectively address disparities in mental healthcare access and quality. This multi-pronged approach aims to create both immediate relief for individuals and long-term structural improvements in the mental health landscape, primarily within its specified geographic areas and at a national advocacy level.

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), intends to publish a reissue Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for innovative, interactive research to answer significant scientific questions that are important for the mission of NINDS, via a synergistic collaboration between outstanding scientists who might not otherwise collaborate. The program project grant is designed to support research in which the funding of several interdependent highly meritorious projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of these same projects as individual research grants.. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. The NOFO is expected to be published in April 2024 with an expected application due dates in May and September 2024.

The Lincoln & Gilbert Small Business Relief Grants are designed to support Black (MBE) employer firms in Cincinnati, Ohio. The primary mission of this initiative is to significantly increase the number of Black employer firms in Cincinnati, aiming to reach over 1,000 within five years. This aligns with a strategic priority to foster economic development and empower minority-owned businesses in the region. The target beneficiaries for these grants are small, medium, and large Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) that are based on revenue. Additionally, the grants are open to MBEs and individuals who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, or those that predominantly serve businesses disproportionately affected by the pandemic. The impact goal is to provide crucial financial relief and support for these businesses, helping them to stabilize and grow during challenging economic times. The program prioritizes businesses based on their revenue tiers, offering different grant amounts accordingly. There are three applicant tiers: businesses with $10,000 to $75,000 in revenue are eligible for a $2,500 grant; those with $75,000 to $250,000 in revenue can receive a $5,000 grant; and businesses with $250,000 to $1.5 million in revenue are eligible for a $15,000 grant. This tiered approach ensures that businesses of varying sizes can access appropriate levels of support. The expected outcomes of the Lincoln & Gilbert Initiative include a substantial increase in the number of Black employer firms in Cincinnati. Measurable results will be tracked by monitoring the growth of these firms and their contributions to the local economy. The strategic theory of change is that by leveraging the knowledge and expertise of established economic development organizations—such as the Urban League of Greater Southwest Ohio, The Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky African American Chamber of Commerce, the Cincinnati Chamber USA Minority Business Accelerator, the Greater Cincinnati Microenterprise Initiative (GCMI), MORTAR, and Lightship Foundation—the program can effectively provide the resources and support necessary to achieve its ambitious growth targets for MBEs.
