Grants for Nonprofits - Private

The Walter F. Goodnough Trust offers grants specifically designed to support the rehabilitation of underprivileged disabled children. The foundation's mission is directly aligned with improving the health and well-being of this vulnerable population through hospitalization within the state of Florida. This grant program is a core component of the trust's philanthropic efforts, focusing on a critical area of need within the healthcare sector for children facing both disability and financial hardship. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are underprivileged disabled children in Florida who require hospitalization for rehabilitation. The impact goal is to facilitate their recovery and improve their quality of life by providing financial support for necessary medical interventions. The trust prioritizes health-related programs and aims to ensure that eligible organizations, specifically 501(c)(3) exempt organizations, can access funding to serve these children. While specific detailed expected outcomes and measurable results are not explicitly stated beyond "rehabilitation," the implicit outcome is improved health and functional abilities for the children served. Success would likely be measured by the number of children assisted, the types of rehabilitation services provided, and potentially the duration or effectiveness of their hospitalization and recovery. The average grant size of $2,500 to $5,000, with an average total giving of $15,000 per year, indicates a focus on supporting individual or smaller-scale rehabilitation projects. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on direct impact within Florida's healthcare landscape, particularly for disabled children. Their theory of change appears to be that by providing financial grants to qualified organizations, they can directly enable access to crucial rehabilitation services that might otherwise be out of reach for underprivileged families. The geographic limitation to Florida and the program area of Health further underscore this focused approach to addressing specific community needs.

This program aligns with CICF's mission to foster a thriving community by focusing on areas critical to well-being and equitable opportunity. The grant aims to empower residents and organizations to address systemic challenges through targeted interventions, ultimately leading to a more inclusive and resilient Central Indiana. The grant targets a diverse range of beneficiaries, including residents in specific neighborhoods, youth and young adults facing unique challenges, individuals currently interacting with the criminal legal system, and a priority population of Black/Latinx males aged 18-35 who are at high risk of violent victimization or perpetration. The impact goals are broad, encompassing increased resident safety, strengthened social networks, reduced crime, improved educational and employment outcomes for youth, enhanced social-emotional development, reduced recidivism, and comprehensive crisis response services for vulnerable populations. The Elevation Grant Program prioritizes five key areas: Thriving Neighborhoods, Empowered Youth / Young Adult, Restoration & Resilience, Justice-Involved Supports, and Intervention. Thriving Neighborhoods focuses on place-based efforts to promote safety and reduce crime, emphasizing resident engagement and community partnerships. Empowered Youth / Young Adult programs provide supportive services like employment, education, and mentoring to youth and young adults facing disengagement. Restoration & Resilience aims to offer social-emotional development, mental health support, and substance use reduction programs. Justice-Involved Supports focuses on services for individuals interacting with the criminal legal system to promote productive citizenship and reduce recidivism. Intervention programs implement integrated 24/7 crisis response services for the priority population, including housing, food, childcare, and mental health support. Expected outcomes and measurable results are integral to the grant program. For Thriving Neighborhoods, organizations must demonstrate increased resident safety and awareness through surveys, crime reporting, or statistics. Empowered Youth/Young Adult programs should show improved conditions for participants through measurable impacts of services and formal mentorship components. Justice-Involved Supports require demonstration of an individual's ability to gain skills, obtain work, secure housing, and prevent future interactions with the criminal legal system. The overall theory of change for CICF's Elevation Grant Program is to invest in strategic, community-led initiatives that address root causes of inequity and disengagement, thereby fostering a stronger, safer, and more equitable community for all residents of Marion County. The grant size ranges from $100,000 to $500,000 for an initial grant, with funding for the priority population ranging from $20,000 to $250,000.

The grant prioritizes programs that provide enhancement of school meal programs, community partnerships, and early childhood education initiatives. For school meal programs, projects expanding equitable access to nutritious meals for students, including out-of-school time meal programs, nutrition programs, and school-based gardens, are emphasized. However, funding for free and reduced lunch programs will not be considered. Community partnerships involve collaborative efforts between local organizations, businesses, and stakeholders to expand food access and reduce food insecurity among students.

Expected outcomes include improved access to nutritious meals for students, enhanced community collaboration in addressing food insecurity, and better nutritional support for young children in early childhood education settings. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided information, the focus on expanding access, providing resources, and supporting initiatives implies a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the reach and effectiveness of the funded programs in reducing food insecurity and supporting student well-family well-being in Central New Mexico.

This program, funded by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (MBWSR), aims to support multipurpose drainage management practices. Its core mission is to mitigate erosion and sedimentation, reduce peak flows and flooding, enhance water quality, and improve drainage system efficiency while decreasing maintenance needs, specifically for priority Chapter 103E drainage systems. The program aligns with the foundation's strategic priority of promoting sustainable water resource management and protecting natural ecosystems within Minnesota. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are Chapter 103E drainage authorities, including County, Joint County Boards, and Watershed Districts, as well as Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs). Local governments, such as counties, watershed districts, watershed management organizations, and SWCDs or local government joint power boards, are also eligible if they operate under a current State-approved local water management plan, comprehensive watershed management plan, or SWCD comprehensive plan. Municipalities with approved water plans or adopted comprehensive watershed management plans, and counties in the seven-county metropolitan area with adopted county groundwater plans or comprehensive plans approved by the Metropolitan Council, are also targeted. The program encourages partnerships between these entities to maximize impact. The program's priorities and focuses revolve around implementing practices that directly address drainage management challenges. This includes projects designed to reduce erosion and sedimentation, which are crucial for maintaining water quality and preventing soil loss. A significant focus is also placed on reducing peak flows and flooding, contributing to community safety and infrastructure protection. Furthermore, improving overall water quality and protecting the efficiency of existing drainage systems are key objectives, alongside reducing long-term maintenance requirements for these systems. Expected outcomes include a measurable decrease in erosion and sedimentation rates within priority drainage systems. The program anticipates a reduction in the frequency and severity of peak flow events and associated flooding. Improvements in water quality, likely measured through various water quality indicators, are also a central expected outcome. Furthermore, the initiative aims to enhance the overall efficiency of drainage systems and achieve a reduction in the necessary maintenance efforts, leading to long-term cost savings and improved system longevity. Applicants are expected to be in compliance with BWSR requirements for grantee website and eLINK reporting before grant execution and payment.
