The RIZE Massachusetts Foundation is offering grants aimed at improving access to care and enhancing the quality of life and overall health for individuals suffering from substance use disorder. This grantmaking initiative aligns directly with RIZE's mission to support organizations that work across the care continuum, from prevention to recovery, and serve diverse, historically underserved communities in Massachusetts. The foundation's strategic priority is to help organizations deepen their impact, scale their work, and build strong, sustainable infrastructures, reflecting a theory of change that focuses on capacity building and unrestricted funding to address urgent needs and strengthen organizational operations. The target beneficiaries for this grant program are nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts that deliver prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery programs and services, particularly those working with populations that have experienced higher rates of opioid-related overdose deaths. The impact goals are to ensure these individuals have access to comprehensive care, experience better health outcomes, and achieve a higher quality of life. The grants are designed to provide general operating support, allowing recipient organizations the flexibility to address emerging issues, sustain existing operations, or invest in strengthening their organizational infrastructure. The grant program's focus areas are broad, encompassing prevention, harm reduction, treatment, recovery, trauma, and family support. This holistic approach underscores the foundation's understanding of the multifaceted nature of substance use disorder and its impact on individuals and communities. The grants are intended to build capacity within these organizations, enabling them to expand their reach and effectiveness in addressing the opioid crisis in Massachusetts. Expected outcomes include enhanced organizational stability and capacity, leading to more impactful and scalable programs. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond the overall goal of improved access to care and better health outcomes, the emphasis on capacity building implies that success will be gauged by the organizations' ability to deepen their reach and sustain their critical services. Organizations with budgets under $5 million are eligible, with grant sizes ranging from up to $50,000 annually for smaller organizations to $150,000 for larger ones, over a three-year duration. Ineligible activities include fundraising, capital campaigns, clinical trials, individual support, religious promulgation, or lobbying.

The Madison Area Sports Commission (MASC) Youth Grant Program provides financial assistance to connect underserved youth in Dane County, Wisconsin, aged 17 and under, to sports activities. The program aims to foster lifelong enjoyment and health benefits through sports, aligning with MASC's broader mission to promote healthy lifestyles and combat childhood obesity. Established with contributions from the Ironman Community Foundation, individuals, corporations, and annual fundraisers, the grant program is a key initiative of MASC to serve its community. The primary target beneficiaries are Dane County youth, aged 17 and under, who are from populations underserved by existing sports programs. The program's impact goals are to assist children in developing healthy lifestyles by introducing them to sports that match their interests and abilities. This includes combating childhood obesity, creating positive emotional connections, and instilling commitment and daily structure in their lives. Key priorities and focuses for grant consideration include ensuring the child or children served are Dane County residents, aged 17 and under, and from underserved populations. MASC also prioritizes a mutual commitment between the sports program and individuals, and considers a broad scope of sports, including "minor" and individual sports. The quality of the sports program and the alignment of individuals with a suitable sport are crucial. Consideration is also given to the number of people impacted, the non-duplication of efforts, and the potential for program growth and quality maintenance. Transportation requests and capital construction (under specific conditions) are also considered. Expected outcomes include increased participation of underserved youth in sports, leading to the development of healthy lifestyles, improved physical and emotional well-being, and enhanced commitment and daily structure. The program's success is measured by the reach of the grant application, the growth and quality of participating sports programs, and the ability of the programs to meet the interests and abilities of the youth. MASC's strategic priority is to create sustainable opportunities for youth development through sports, with a theory of change centered on the idea that access to appropriate sports activities directly contributes to healthier, more engaged youth in the community.
