The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), established by Congress in 1965 and administered by the National Park Service, provides 1:1 matching financial grants to state and local governments for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreational areas and facilities. The program is fully funded by revenues from offshore oil and gas leases. The State of New Hampshire, through its Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, distributes these grants to eligible sub-units of government following the federal guidelines which include the development of a Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and coordination by the State Liaison Officer. The 35th grant round is currently open, with Intent-to-Apply forms due by June 7, 2024. Eligible project types include development of new or existing facilities, acquisition of land for public recreation, or a combination of both. Funding requests must be between $50,000 and $500,000, with total project costs at least double the requested grant amount, as the program requires a 50% match from sponsors.

The Proposition 47 Request for Proposals (RFP), announced by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), aims to provide approximately $152 million in grant funding over a period from October 1, 2024, through June 30, 2028. This program aligns with the BSCC's mission to enhance public safety and criminal justice in California by focusing on rehabilitation and community-based solutions, rather than solely incarceration. The grant is designed to support mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, and diversion programs for individuals within the criminal justice system. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are people in the criminal justice system in California who require mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, and/or diversion programs. Eligible applicants are public agencies located within the State of California, including counties, cities, Indian reservations or Rancherias, school districts, municipal corporations, and various other public entities. The overarching impact goal is to reduce recidivism, improve public health outcomes, and foster safer communities by addressing the root causes of criminal behavior. The program prioritizes the provision of mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, and diversion programs. Additionally, applicants are strongly encouraged to offer supplemental housing-related services and other community-based supportive services. These supportive services include job skills training, case management, and civil legal services, which are critical for successful reintegration into society and long-term stability. The grant structure includes two categories: a Small Scope Category, offering up to $2 million per project with $60.8 million available in total, and a Large Scope Category, providing between $2 million and $8 million per project, with $91.2 million in total funds available. The expected outcomes include a measurable increase in access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment, a reduction in the number of individuals entering or re-entering the criminal justice system, and improved rates of employment and stable housing for program participants. The BSCC's strategic priorities, reflected in this RFP, emphasize evidence-based practices and community-driven solutions. The underlying theory of change posits that by investing in comprehensive services that address the social and economic determinants of criminal behavior, individuals can achieve sustained recovery and successful community reintegration, thereby leading to a more just and equitable society.

Introduction EEM projects must contribute to mitigation of the environmental effects of transportation facilities. The California Natural Resources Agency (Agency) prescribes procedures and criteria to evaluate grant project proposals and submits a list of projects recommended for funding to the California Transportation Commission (CTC). The CTC awards grants to projects from Agency’s list. Related Transportation Facility EEM projects must mitigate, either directly or indirectly, the environmental impacts of a) the modification of an existing Transportation Facility or b) the construction of a new Transportation Facility (hereafter Related Transportation Facility or RTF). The EEM project can be the required mitigation for the RTF or enhancement to mitigation required for the RTF. Statewide Project Goals Agency grant programs assist state and local entities to develop more sustainable communities, increase adaptability to climate change using nature-based strategies, and protect biodiversity in compliance with Executive Order N-82-20, the Pathways to 30 x 30 California, and the Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy. Projects that demonstrate the following multiple benefits will be more competitive: • Improved air and/or water quality. • Reduced consumption of natural resources and energy. • Increased reliability of local water supplies. • Increased adaptability to climate change. • Increased protection and restoration of biodiversity Eligible Projects Examples The list below isn't comprehensive, but provides examples of project elements that meet statutory conditions. Urban Forestry: • Planting of trees and plants along urban streets and medians. • Greening existing public lands and structures, including school campuses and urban parks. • Greening vacant lots and abandoned sites. • Restoration of urban creeks.

The 2025 Mobility and Transportation Innovation (MTI) Grant Program, offered by the Vermont Agency of Transportation, is designed to foster innovative strategies and projects aimed at improving mobility and access for transit-dependent Vermonters, while simultaneously working to reduce the reliance on single-occupancy vehicles and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The program aligns with a broader mission to create more sustainable and accessible transportation options within the state. The primary target beneficiaries of this program are transit-dependent Vermonters, along with employers and employees seeking to adopt Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures. The grant's impact goals are clearly defined, focusing on enhancing mobility and access for these transit-dependent individuals, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing the overall use of single-occupancy vehicles. These goals are also intended to complement existing mobility investments within Vermont. The MTI Grant Program prioritizes several key focal areas. These include the extension and creation of new TDM programs, the development and marketing of TDM resources, the expansion of first-mile/last-mile programs, and providing support for employers and employees to adopt TDM measures. Furthermore, it encourages the implementation of planned TDM programs such as bike share, car share, and microtransit initiatives. Funds can be utilized for various purposes, including matching funds for other TDM grant awards, covering TDM program delivery costs, microtransit planning and implementation, and both capital and operational expenses. The program categorizes grants into Small (around $10,000), Medium (around $50,000), and Large (around $100,000+) to accommodate diverse project scopes. Expected outcomes and measurable results are directly tied to the performance metrics, which emphasize improved mobility and access, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and a decrease in single-occupancy vehicle use. While the "foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change" are not explicitly detailed as a separate foundation, the Vermont Agency of Transportation's initiative implicitly operates on the theory that strategic investment in innovative transportation solutions and TDM will lead to measurable improvements in public mobility, environmental sustainability, and overall community well-being by empowering transit-dependent populations and fostering more sustainable travel behaviors.
