The Josephine Moffatt Stevenson Community Charitable Trust offers grants to promote charitable activities in South Carolina, specifically supporting medical, educational, and religious organizations. This aligns with the foundation's mission to enhance community well-being through strategic funding in key areas. The trust prioritizes organizations located in Abbeville County, Anderson County, and the Due West community, demonstrating a focused approach to local impact. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are organizations providing medical, educational, and religious services within South Carolina, with a particular emphasis on the specified counties. The impact goals include strengthening these sectors, fostering community development, and improving the quality of life for residents in these areas. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided information, the average grant size of $1,000-$7,000 and average total giving of $50,000 per year indicate a commitment to consistent, albeit localized, support. The trust's grantmaking priorities clearly focus on geographic limitations and organizational type. Grants are restricted to South Carolina, with a strong preference for Abbeville County, Anderson County, and the Due West community. Furthermore, only organizations qualifying as 501(c)(3) exempt organizations that are medical, educational, or religious are eligible. This structured approach ensures that funding is directed towards areas and services most aligned with the trust's foundational objectives. The foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change appear to center on the belief that by investing in established community organizations within critical sectors (education, health, religion, and human services), they can achieve positive and lasting change at a local level. By supporting 501(c)(3) compliant entities, the trust ensures that its contributions go to legitimate and impactful organizations. The online application process also suggests a commitment to accessibility for potential grantees.

The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) is launching its fiscal year 2025 Cultural Development Fund (CDF) grant application, designed to support New York City nonprofit arts and cultural organizations. The program aims to foster the vibrant cultural landscape of the city by providing financial assistance to organizations delivering arts and cultural services across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. This grant aligns with a mission to strengthen and sustain the arts and cultural sector, recognizing its vital role in the community and economy of New York City. The target beneficiaries of the CDF grant are New York City-based nonprofit arts and cultural organizations. This includes organizations with a primary arts or culture mission, as well as nonprofit organizations that incorporate an arts or culture component into their broader mission. The impact goal is to ensure the continued delivery of diverse and high-quality arts and cultural services to New York City residents. The program specifically excludes individual artists, certain corporate structures (LLCs, Benefit Corporations, Limited Partnerships), and organizations not based or primarily operating within New York City. The DCLA grant program prioritizes organizations that have successfully demonstrated the delivery of arts and cultural services in New York City for at least the last two consecutive years. Additionally, eligibility is tied to administrative and programmatic operations within the five boroughs, possession of a unique Federal Employee Identification Number (EIN), and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, or the use of a DCLA pre-approved fiscal sponsor. Organizations incorporated in New York State as not-for-profits no later than fiscal year 2022 are also prioritized for a broader range of awards. Expected outcomes include the financial stabilization and growth of eligible arts and cultural organizations, enabling them to continue and expand their programming. The grant aims to ensure that cultural services remain accessible and robust across all New York City boroughs. Measurable results would involve tracking the number of organizations supported, the range of cultural programs offered, and the sustained presence of arts and cultural activities throughout the grant period, which runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The DCLA's strategic priorities for this grant reflect a theory of change that investment in established and compliant nonprofit arts and cultural organizations directly contributes to the cultural enrichment and overall well-being of New York City. By providing varying levels of funding based on an organization's operating income, ranging from $10,000 for smaller organizations up to $100,000 for larger ones, the program aims to address the diverse needs of the sector and promote equitable access to funding. Organizations not previously receiving a CDF baseline award in the last six fiscal years are eligible for a one-year $10,000 baseline award, ensuring support for newer or re-engaging entities.
