State Health Grants

The Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) is offering $57 million in grant funds for in-person before-school, after-school, before-and-after-school, and/or summer programming for children in grades K-12. This initiative aligns with MiLEAP's mission to prioritize education from preschool through postsecondary, focusing on kindergarten readiness and helping individuals earn skills or degrees for good-paying jobs. The grant specifically supports Out-of-School Time (OST) Programs that provide educational programming in core subjects such as mathematics, reading, and science. The target beneficiaries are children in grades K-12. The impact goals are to improve school attendance, academic outcomes, attitudes toward school, positive behaviors, skill development and retention, and higher education aspirations, as well as to enhance family engagement. MiLEAP's strategic priority is to prepare children for kindergarten and help more people earn a skill certificate or degree, and this grant directly contributes to that by funding programs that offer expanded learning opportunities and academic enrichment. The grant prioritizes the expansion of existing programs, establishment of new programs, hands-on academic enrichment, field trips, professional learning, and the development of school-community partnerships. It also supports expanded learning opportunities in areas like mentoring, leadership, community engagement, agriculture, visual and performing arts, financial literacy, STEM, health and wellness, recreation, career and college exploration, youth voice, 21st-century skills, social-emotional learning, and cultural engagement. Expected outcomes include measurable improvements in areas such as improved school attendance and academic performance, enhanced positive behaviors and skill development, and increased aspirations for higher education. The grant's theory of change posits that by investing in comprehensive OST programming that addresses both academic and social-emotional needs, children will be better prepared for academic success and future career opportunities, thereby contributing to MiLEAP's broader goal of lifelong education and advancement.

The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) is offering its 2024 National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Compliance Efforts grant, a crucial initiative to enhance crime statistics reporting across the state. This program aligns with the PCCD's mission to improve public safety and criminal justice by fostering accurate and timely data collection. The grant, supported by federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, aims to modernize technology infrastructure for reporting incident-based crime data to the FBI’s NIBRS. This move will significantly improve the quality and detail of crime data, providing a more comprehensive understanding of criminal activity and informing more effective law enforcement strategies. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are local law enforcement agencies, campus police, university police, railroad or street railway police departments, airport authority police departments (including Harrisburg International Airport Police), and county park police within Pennsylvania. The goal is to equip these agencies with the necessary tools and training to transition to NIBRS-compliant reporting. The impact goal is to achieve widespread NIBRS compliance, thereby improving the accuracy and completeness of crime statistics reported to the FBI, which will ultimately support better resource allocation and crime prevention efforts across the state. The grant program's priorities and focus are clearly defined: upgrading technology infrastructure, specifically the installation of NIBRS-compliant record management systems, providing agency training on data collection and submission, and offering technical assistance to personnel responsible for these tasks. PCCD expects to fund approximately 50 grants, with budgets not exceeding $200,000 over a two-year project period. This focused approach ensures that the funds are directly applied to the critical components of NIBRS implementation. Expected outcomes include a significant increase in the number of Pennsylvania law enforcement agencies capable of submitting NIBRS data to the FBI. Measurable results will include the successful deployment of NIBRS-compliant systems, the number of personnel trained, and ultimately, an improvement in the quality and timeliness of crime data submitted. The long-term strategic priority of PCCD is to build a robust and data-driven criminal justice system in Pennsylvania, and this grant program is a direct step towards achieving that by ensuring accurate and comprehensive crime reporting. The theory of change is that by providing financial and technical support for NIBRS implementation, agencies will be empowered to improve their data reporting, leading to better informed policy decisions and enhanced public safety outcomes.

General Program Support (GPS) funding, provided by the Florida Department of State, aims to support Florida's arts and cultural organizations, both public and private, by funding their general program activities rather than specific projects. This aligns with the state's cultural objectives to promote, create, and present cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, and events, or to provide professional services as a State Service Organization or Local Arts Agency. The program's mission is to further the state's cultural landscape and ensure access to arts and culture across Florida. The target beneficiaries of the GPS funding include a wide range of arts and cultural organizations. This encompasses organizations promoting excellence in arts education, those focusing on specific disciplines like dance, literature, media arts, museum, music, presenter, theatre, traditional arts, and visual arts, as well as designated Local Arts Agencies (LAAs) and State Service Organizations (SSOs). LAAs are public entities supporting arts and culture through advocacy and information dissemination, while SSOs are non-profit organizations providing services in at least 40 Florida counties. The impact goals are to enhance cultural programming, foster arts education, support local and statewide arts infrastructure, and ensure a vibrant arts and cultural sector throughout Florida. The program prioritizes various types of support, offering four main categories: Arts in Education program support, Discipline-based program support, Local Arts Agency program support, and State Service Organization program support. Specific eligibility criteria are in place, with higher funding requests ($25,000+ and $50,000+) requiring a history of completed grants with the Division of Arts and Culture, and for requests over $50,000, at least three years of completed programming and one paid, full-time staff member in a management position. Additional specific requirements exist for Arts in Education organizations (arts education mission), Museum disciplines (open 180 days/year, own/utilize objects, exhibit regularly), Professional Theatre (compensate artistic staff/actors), Local Arts Agencies (official designation in one or more counties), and State Service Organizations (reach at least 40 counties). The expected outcomes of the GPS funding include a stronger, more active arts and cultural community across Florida, increased access to diverse cultural experiences for residents and visitors, and sustained support for organizations vital to the state's cultural identity. Measurable results would include the number of cultural exhibits, performances, educational programs, or events conducted, the reach and impact of State Service Organizations and Local Arts Agencies, and the overall health and stability of funded arts and cultural organizations as evidenced by their programming and operational capacity. The grant period is July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with grant sizes ranging from $1,000 to $150,000 based on proposal type and funding level. The Florida Department of State's strategic priority is to advance the cultural objectives of the state. The theory of change behind GPS funding posits that by providing general program support to qualified arts and cultural organizations, these organizations will be better equipped to conduct, create, produce, present, and sponsor cultural activities and educational programs. This, in turn, will lead to a more culturally enriched populace and stronger local and statewide arts ecosystems. The emphasis on general program support over specific projects reflects a belief that empowering organizations to pursue their core missions will yield more sustainable and far-reaching cultural benefits for Florida.
