The Florida Department of State's Cultural Facilities Grant program provides funding for the renovation, new construction, or acquisition of cultural facilities. This program is designed to support organizations whose core mission involves arts and cultural programming across various disciplines. The grant aligns with the state's strategic priority to enhance and sustain Florida's cultural infrastructure, thereby fostering a vibrant arts and culture sector that benefits communities statewide. The theory of change suggests that by investing in cultural facilities, the state can improve access to arts and culture, strengthen cultural organizations, and contribute to local economic development and quality of life. The program targets organizations dedicated to arts and cultural programming. These include single-use facilities like theaters, performance centers, museums (including aquariums, botanical gardens, history centers, and zoos), and art centers. It also supports multi-purpose facilities such as community centers, recreation centers, civic centers, and municipal buildings, provided their projects are directly related to arts and cultural activities. The impact goals are to ensure the continued availability and improvement of spaces where cultural activities can thrive, serving a broad public audience across all counties in Florida. The grant prioritizes projects that directly conduct arts and cultural programming and demonstrate clear plans for facility use. Specific focuses include ensuring legal status of the applicant, unrestricted use of property (evidenced by a 10-year restrictive covenant or surety bond), and ownership retention of improvements. For leased properties, eligibility is restricted to leases with public or not-for-profit entities as lessors. Additionally, applicants must provide documentation of financial support, matching funds, current architectural plans, budget estimates, and local official support. A critical focus is also placed on historical structures, requiring a determination letter from the Division of Historical Resources if a facility is 50 years or older. Expected outcomes include improved and expanded cultural facilities capable of hosting diverse arts and cultural programming, increased community engagement with the arts, and enhanced organizational capacity for cultural institutions. Measurable results will include the number of facilities renovated or constructed, the percentage of time facilities are used for arts and cultural purposes, and the total public served by these improved facilities. The program also aims to ensure long-term sustainability of cultural infrastructure, evidenced by the 23-month grant duration and a policy encouraging applications every other year for grantees with ongoing projects. The maximum grant amounts of $500,000 for purpose-built facilities and $200,000 for multi-purpose facilities reflect a strategic allocation of resources to achieve these outcomes.

VisitHATTIESBURG’s Tourism Grant Program (TGP) is an annual initiative designed to bolster visitor and tourism promotion efforts within Hattiesburg. The program's core mission aligns with increasing overnight travel to the city, thereby generating economic stimulus. It achieves this by providing funds for marketing and other qualified expenses to projects and events that directly fulfill VisitHATTIESBURG’s broader objective of promoting Hattiesburg as a vibrant tourist destination. The TGP targets a diverse group of beneficiaries including attractions, associations, organizations, and governmental agencies whose primary objective is to promote Hattiesburg’s tourism industry to out-of-town visitors. The program specifically seeks to attract a target audience from outside the immediate Hattiesburg area, defined as over a 50-mile radius or out-of-state. The ultimate impact goal is to drive overnight stays and foster economic growth within the city through increased tourism. The program prioritizes projects and events held within Hattiesburg that fall into specific categories: Festival/Event, Attraction/Public Use Facility (including museums, historical buildings, meeting spaces, and sporting facilities), and other organizations/associations focused on promoting tourism. TGP funds can be utilized for a variety of expenses, such as traditional and digital advertising, brochures, signage, event/exhibit production, and marketing activities. Disallowable expenses include general operating costs, administrative expenses, and personal benefits, ensuring funds are directly applied to tourism promotion. Expected outcomes of the TGP include an increase in the number of out-of-town visitors, leading to a rise in overnight stays and subsequent economic benefits for Hattiesburg's local lodging, dining, shopping, and attractions. Measurable results are implicitly tied to the requirement for financial record-keeping for three years and the stipulation that individual grants cannot exceed $5,000 per fiscal year. Projects are also expected to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and feature VisitHATTIESBURG branding on all collateral. While the document does not explicitly detail a "theory of change," VisitHATTIESBURG's strategic priority is clearly to position Hattiesburg as a premier tourist destination. The TGP acts as a key mechanism in this strategy by financially supporting local entities that actively promote the city to external audiences. This approach is based on the premise that direct investment in targeted promotional activities by local stakeholders will directly translate into increased visitor numbers and economic prosperity. In alignment with its strategic priorities, VisitHATTIESBURG mandates specific requirements for grant recipients to ensure program effectiveness and accountability. These include the project's primary location within Hattiesburg, promotion of the city as a destination, compliance with regulations, meticulous financial record-keeping, mandatory inclusion of VisitHATTIESBURG branding, and, where applicable, providing a sponsorship equivalent to the awarded funds. These guidelines serve to maximize the program's reach and ensure that the grant funding directly contributes to the overarching goal of tourism development.

Offering services and supports to older adults or persons with disabilities can enable them to maintain their independence and status in the community. In addition, we recognize that family caregivers provide most of the support that makes it possible for older people and people with disabilities to live in the community. Providing care can take a physical, financial, and emotional toll on family caregivers. Offering assistance to family caregivers can make it easier for them to continue providing care and allows older adults and persons with disabilities the opportunity to remain in the community.In 2019, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) established a new grant program that is testing models of programming designed to place volunteers in communities to assist caregivers, older adults, and persons with disabilities in maintaining independence by providing non-medical care.

Evaluate locally developed test models to determine the benefit to volunteers, family caregivers, older adults, and persons with disabilities. Develop and implement a plan to broadly disseminate proven local models for replication in other communities.
