Grants for Nonprofits - Health

The Hampton Roads Community Foundation is offering Community Grants for Health & Wellness to enhance the health of the region's residents. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to improve community well-being by addressing critical health disparities. The program focuses on the understanding that various factors, including genetics, education, individual behavior, environment, and access to quality healthcare, contribute to a person's overall health and wellness. The foundation's strategic approach is to support programs that tackle these multifaceted challenges, particularly for under-resourced populations. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are residents of South Hampton Roads, including specific counties and cities within Virginia, who face health disparities and challenges in accessing quality healthcare. The program targets individuals in Chesapeake, the Eastern Shore of Virginia (Accomack and Northampton counties), Franklin, Isle of Wight County, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. The impact goal is to improve the health status of these populations by increasing access to essential health services and promoting healthy behaviors. The program prioritizes efforts that support participant access to primary, dental, and/or mental/behavioral health services, including substance/drug abuse treatment. A significant focus is also placed on sustained programs that encourage healthy behaviors known to reduce chronic diseases such as Type II diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease, especially in populations with high rates of health disparity. Preference will be given to programs that emphasize improving participants' health literacy, indicating a strategic focus on empowering individuals with knowledge to make informed health decisions. Expected outcomes include individuals with health disparities connecting with a medical home and receiving care/treatment that leads to an improved health status. For oral care programs, the outcome is that individuals complete a dental treatment plan. Improved behavioral health needs or conditions of clients are also a key outcome. Measurable results will include participants increasing their knowledge of chronic disease conditions and exhibiting healthy behaviors that lead to improved health, thereby contributing to the foundation's broader theory of change which posits that increased access, education, and behavioral changes will lead to a healthier community.

Title II Juvenile Justice Council grants are specifically awarded to local juvenile justice councils to implement programs, policies and practices that improve the effectiveness of local juvenile justice systems, reduce unnecessary juvenile justice system involvement and/or analyze and reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities (RED) in each council’s local system. Because this model of local governance, collaboration and data-driven decision-making has proven effective, the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission is allocating funding to support local juvenile justice councils and the development of data-driven, collaborative local juvenile justice plans which guide future system improvement efforts. The Illinois Juvenile Court Act provides that each county or group of counties may establish a local juvenile justice council [705 ILCS 405/6-12]. The purpose of this council, according to the Act, is “to provide a forum for the development of a community based interagency assessment of the local juvenile justice system, to develop a county juvenile justice plan for the prevention of juvenile delinquency, and to make recommendations to the county board, or county boards, for more effectively utilizing existing community resources in dealing with juveniles who are found to be involved in crime, or who are truant or have been suspended or expelled from school.” Through juvenile justice councils, the Act prescribes a response to juveniles in conflict with the law that is comprehensive, driven by data and analysis, and collaborative across all systems that touch these youth. As embodied in the Juvenile Court Act, Juvenile Justice Councils provide a structure to ensure that local jurisdictions respond to youth in conflict with the law in a manner which is data-driven, strategic, and focused on serving youth, families and communities in the most effective ways possible. Unfortunately, very few jurisdictions in Illinois have developed councils that operate in the manner envisioned in the Act. In some communities, youth become involved in the juvenile justice system unnecessarily because alternatives do not exist, or are not embedded within the system decision-making process. Because the needs and resources are different in each community in Illinois, a one-size-fits-all approach is not likely to be very effective. Local councils are in the best position to craft solutions that meet the local community’s needs and take into account local resources. Empowering and supporting local juvenile justice councils can also stem the tide of racial and ethnic disparity in the juvenile justice system at the front door and help ensure that no youth enters the juvenile justice system unnecessarily. Such local ownership is the best way to ensure more effective long-term programming and sustained systemic change. This, in turn, will reduce the costs associated with incarcerating youth in correctional facilities, reduce rates of recidivism, reduce the number of crime victims, and ultimately create safer communities in Illinois. Juvenile Justice Youth Serving Programs: The federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) provides funding directly to states through its Title II Formula Grants Program (Title II) to support state and local delinquency prevention, intervention efforts and juvenile justice system improvements. These funds are used to help states implement comprehensive state juvenile justice plans based on detailed studies of needs in their jurisdictions. State Advisory Groups, comprised of members appointed by the governor, set priorities for funded activities. The State Advisory Group for Illinois, the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission (IJJC), administers the Title II funds. These funds support a broad range of juvenile justice activities at the state and local level that are designed to improve the juvenile justice system through the development of more effective education, training, research, prevention, diversion, treatment, and rehabilitation programs in the area of juvenile delinquency. These programs or projects can be designed to be developed, implemented and evaluated directly or through grants and contracts with public and private agencies. Title II also funds state and local activities designed to ensure and maintain the state's compliance with the Core Requirements of the JJDPA. • Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders (DSO) • Adult Jail and Lock-Up Removal (Jail Removal) • "Sight and Sound" Separation • Address Racial and Ethnic Disparities (RED); In some communities, youth become involved in the juvenile justice system unnecessarily because alternatives do not exist or are not embedded within the system decision-making process. Because the needs and resources are different in each community in Illinois, a one-size-fits-all approach is not likely to be very effective. Local juvenile justice systems and community-based providers are in prime position to craft solutions and develop youth serving programs that meet the local community's needs and take into account local resources. Empowering and supporting local youth programming can also stem the tide of racial and ethnic disparity in the juvenile justice system at the front door and help ensure that no youth enters the juvenile justice system unnecessarily. Investing in local communities will reduce the costs associated with incarcerating youth in correctional facilities, reduce rates of recidivism, reduce the number of crime victims, and ultimately create safer communities in Illinois.

The 2024-2025 Ag Conservation Research Grants program, offered by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, aims to fund agricultural conservation research. This initiative aligns with the broader mission of promoting sustainable agricultural practices and protecting natural resources within the state. The funding, made available through the Clean Streams Fund Nutrient Management federal ARPA funds, underscores a strategic priority to improve water quality and address nutrient management challenges. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are researchers and institutions capable of conducting agricultural conservation research within Pennsylvania. The program's impact goals are to generate actionable data and recommendations that can inform and improve agricultural conservation efforts. This includes identifying sources of pollution, quantifying the effectiveness of various practices, and developing new methods for environmental protection. The program prioritizes several research topic areas, including identifying nuisance emissions in the mushroom industry and their mitigation, quantifying emissions from the mushroom industry, and measuring the impact of best practices. It also focuses on quantifying the impact of Manure Treatment Technologies (MTT) on water quality and providing recommendations for their improved utilization. Furthermore, the program seeks to quantify the impact of precision feeding on nutrient reductions and the climate benefits of best management practices installed through the Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program and Conservation Excellence Grant programs (ACAP & CEG). Expected outcomes include the development of new and improved conservation practices, a better understanding of the environmental impacts of agricultural operations, and evidence-based recommendations for policy and practice. Measurable results will stem from the quantification of emissions, nutrient reductions, and climate impacts, as well as the evaluation of technologies and practices. The department intends to make up to $1,500,000 available for grants under the program, with research to be conducted from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2026, with the possibility of extension.

The Red Coats' Community Grants program is designed to fund smaller projects for nonprofit organizations in Northeast Florida, specifically in Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, and St. Johns counties. This program aligns with the Red Coats' mission, which involves a group of civic and corporate leaders overseeing THE PLAYERS volunteer efforts and a special grant program for local nonprofits. The grants are intended to support community needs within this five-county area, with individual awards of up to $15,000. The target beneficiaries of this program are citizens within the five-county area, served by eligible nonprofit organizations. The program aims to address specific community needs and provide services aligned with priority focus areas. These areas include youth services, education, character development, health, wellness and sports, and military support. The overarching impact goal is to foster broad community support and create positive change in these key sectors. The Red Coats prioritize funding organizations that demonstrate broad community support and actively address identified community needs. A crucial focus is on ensuring services are provided without discrimination, as protected by law. The program specifically excludes funding for individuals, private foundations, grant-making bodies, operational expenses (including salaries), travel or conference expenses, sponsorships with tangible staff benefits, political action committees, political causes or candidates, debt reduction, and gifts, honorariums, or gratuities. The expected outcomes of the grant program are to strengthen nonprofit organizations' capacity to deliver vital services in the priority areas. Measurable results would be tied to the specific projects funded, such as improved educational outcomes for youth, enhanced health and wellness initiatives, or increased support for military families. The foundation's strategic priorities are evident in its focus on local community development through targeted support in these key areas, leveraging the involvement of civic and corporate leaders to achieve its philanthropic goals.
