The PATH Foundation’s **Better Together Fund** is designed to strengthen community connections by supporting local events that bring people together in celebration, collaboration, and shared purpose. Established in 2021, the fund reflects PATH’s mission to enhance the quality of life in Virginia’s Piedmont region by fostering engagement, well-being, and unity among residents. Through this program, the foundation aims to make small but meaningful investments in events that inspire belonging and reinforce the social fabric of local communities. Eligible nonprofits and organizations operating in **Fauquier, Rappahannock, and Culpeper counties** may apply for grants of up to **$2,500 per event**. Funding can be used to support a wide variety of community-facing gatherings—such as festivals, cultural celebrations, educational activities, and other inclusive events that encourage participation and connection among local residents. The initiative is particularly focused on efforts that celebrate diversity, build relationships, and create shared experiences that strengthen the sense of community. To qualify, events must take place within one year of submission and comply with all applicable health and safety guidelines. Applicants must be recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, religious institutions, or local government entities. The program’s flexible structure allows for a broad range of creative and community-driven ideas, ensuring that small towns and neighborhoods have the opportunity to host meaningful events that align with PATH’s goal of cultivating healthier, more connected communities. While the grant duration is not specified, the funding operates on a rolling basis, emphasizing timeliness and local relevance. Events supported by the Better Together Fund are intended to be accessible, inclusive, and beneficial to the broader public rather than serving narrow organizational or private interests. The fund’s straightforward application process encourages both established and smaller community groups to apply, removing barriers for those who may not typically pursue grant funding. Through the Better Together Fund, the PATH Foundation continues to champion collaboration and social cohesion as essential pillars of community health. By investing in shared experiences that unite people across backgrounds, the foundation underscores its belief that thriving communities are built not just through infrastructure and services—but through connection, empathy, and collective joy.

The St. David’s Foundation's "We All Benefit" open call seeks to support organizations and collaboratives actively involved in enrolling eligible Central Texans in health insurance benefits or assisting individuals and communities with the eligibility determination and enrollment process through outreach, education, or training. This initiative aligns with the foundation's mission to improve health in Central Texas, specifically by increasing access to healthcare coverage and related support services. The program is designed to address a critical need for health insurance access within the region, directly contributing to the foundation's broader goal of fostering a healthier community. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are eligible Central Texans residing in Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, or Williamson counties who need health insurance benefits or assistance with the enrollment process. The program targets individuals, communities, and organizations that either directly enroll people in health insurance or provide support in the eligibility determination and enrollment process. The impact goals are centered on enhancing health equity and access to care by ensuring more Central Texans gain health insurance coverage, thereby reducing the burden of uninsured individuals and improving overall community health outcomes. The "We All Benefit" open call prioritizes organizations or collaboratives that demonstrate a clear focus on health insurance enrollment and support services. Specifically, it seeks to fund entities that engage in outreach, education, or training related to health insurance eligibility and enrollment. The foundation has set aside up to $8 million for this initiative, offering individual organizations up to $250,000 and funding collaboratives up to $1,000,000. This tiered funding structure underscores the foundation's strategic priority of fostering both individual organizational impact and collaborative efforts to achieve a wider reach and more comprehensive solutions for healthcare access. Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Central Texans enrolled in health insurance benefits and a strengthening of the support infrastructure for eligibility determination and enrollment. Measurable results will likely be tied to the number of individuals successfully enrolled, the reach of outreach and education initiatives, and the capacity building of organizations involved in this work. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by investing in organizations that directly facilitate health insurance access, they can create a more resilient and equitable healthcare landscape for Central Texans, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes across the five-county region.
