State Capacity Building Grants

The Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund (AKSSF), managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), is seeking proposals through its Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF to support salmon conservation statewide. This grant program aims to conserve and restore Alaska's salmon populations and their habitats. The broader mission, aligned with these efforts, is likely to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of salmon resources for both ecological balance and the benefit of communities reliant on them. The target beneficiaries of this grant program include various entities such as nonprofit organizations, universities, government organizations, tribal organizations, commercial organizations, and individuals, all working towards salmon conservation. The ultimate impact goal is the protection and recovery of Alaska's salmon populations, particularly those utilized for subsistence. This will ensure the continued availability of salmon for both ecological and human needs, supporting the cultural and economic well-being of Alaskan communities. The program has three primary funding priorities: habitat conservation or restoration in areas utilized by subsistence stocks, habitat conservation, restoration, or resiliency assessment in areas that may or may not be utilized by subsistence stocks, and monitoring and assessment of salmon populations utilized for subsistence. These priorities indicate a strategic focus on direct habitat improvements, comprehensive assessments of habitat health, and robust monitoring of salmon populations, with a particular emphasis on supporting subsistence communities. Expected outcomes include improved salmon habitats, increased resiliency of salmon populations, and a better understanding of salmon population dynamics through enhanced monitoring and assessment. Measurable results could include the number of acres of habitat conserved or restored, the increase in salmon population sizes in targeted areas, and the establishment of new or improved monitoring programs. The ADF&G anticipates making up to $9 million available, with specific allocations for each project category. The foundation's strategic priorities, as evidenced by the funding categories, focus on a comprehensive approach to salmon recovery, integrating habitat work with scientific assessment. The implicit theory of change is that by investing in habitat protection, restoration, and rigorous scientific monitoring, the health and abundance of Alaska's salmon populations, especially those vital for subsistence, will be sustained and improved for future generations.

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) is offering the 2024-2025 Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) American Rescue Plan (ARP) Supplemental Funding Grant. This grant aims to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19, with a specific focus on increasing access to COVID-19 testing, vaccines, and mobile health units to mitigate the virus's spread and enhance support for domestic violence survivors and their dependents. The program aligns with the mission of supporting community-based projects that effectively aid victims of family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are domestic violence shelters, domestic violence programs, culturally specific organizations, tribes, rural communities, racial and ethnic specific communities, and limited English proficient (LEP) individuals, as well as domestic violence survivors and their dependents. The impact goals are to eliminate barriers to COVID-19 testing and supplies, provide resources for onsite testing, ensure access to rapid testing, maintain and increase testing efforts, expand access to testing for underserved populations, and broaden COVID-19 mitigation activities. The grant prioritizes several key areas, including COVID-19 testing (viral and antibody tests, planning, training, reporting, and supply procurement), COVID-19 mitigation (reducing transmission, case investigation, contact tracing, screening, education, and referrals), and COVID-19 vaccine access (administration, outreach, education, appointment assistance, and transportation). Additionally, the grant supports mobile health units for testing, vaccine administration, and preventative health services, along with workforce expansions, capacity building, and personnel support to ensure the continuity of domestic violence services. Expected outcomes include increased access to COVID-19 testing and vaccines, reduced spread of the virus, and enhanced support systems for domestic violence survivors. Measurable results will likely involve the number of individuals tested, vaccinated, and reached through mobile health units, as well as improvements in survivor services. The ICJI's strategic priority is to give special emphasis to community-based projects carried out by nonprofit private organizations that operate shelters or provide counseling, advocacy, and self-help services to victims of family violence. The theory of change suggests that by providing these supplemental funds, ICJI can strengthen the public health response to COVID-19 while simultaneously supporting and sustaining the advocacy workforce dedicated to preventing and responding to the needs of domestic violence survivors during the ongoing public health emergency.

The 2024-25 Physical and Digital Infrastructure Security Grant (DF) Program for Health Care Facilities, offered by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), aims to enhance physical and digital security for healthcare facilities in California. This program aligns with the foundational mission of protecting vital health services and ensuring the safety of facilities that provide abortion-related and reproductive healthcare, which are often targets of violence and vandalism. The grant seeks to mitigate these threats, thereby supporting the continuity and accessibility of critical healthcare services across the state. The target beneficiaries of this grant are currently licensed community health centers, tribal health programs, non-profit hospitals not part of large health systems, and non-profit organizations whose membership includes such licensed facilities. All eligible applicants must be located in California and provide abortion-related services (or referrals) and reproductive healthcare services. The impact goal is to strengthen the security infrastructure of these facilities, creating safer environments for both patients and staff, and ensuring uninterrupted access to essential healthcare. The program's priorities and focuses include providing funding for physical facility enhancements, such as improved security measures for buildings, and digital security enhancements to protect against cyber threats and data breaches. The grant specifically targets facilities that may be vulnerable to violence and vandalism due to the nature of the services they provide. The funding aims to directly address these vulnerabilities, thereby safeguarding the operational capacity of these crucial healthcare providers. Expected outcomes and measurable results include a demonstrable improvement in the physical and digital security posture of funded facilities. This could involve a reduction in incidents of vandalism or violence, enhanced data protection, and increased patient and staff safety. The grant period is from September 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026, during which time facilities are expected to implement and integrate these security upgrades. Applicants can request up to $750,000 from the total available funding of $7,798,822. While specific "Foundation's strategic priorities and theory of change" are not explicitly detailed for Cal OES in the provided text, the underlying theory of change for this grant program appears to be that by providing targeted funding for security enhancements, the state can directly reduce risks to essential healthcare infrastructure. This proactive investment is expected to lead to greater resilience for healthcare facilities, particularly those offering sensitive services, thereby upholding public health and safety and ensuring that all Californians have access to necessary medical care without fear or disruption.
