Indiana Capacity Building Grants

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 Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health seeks to increase access to healthcare and promote early detection and prevention of health issues across all counties in Idaho. This grant program is aligned with the foundation's mission by focusing on key areas such as behavioral and mental health, general healthcare access, and healthcare access specifically for seniors. The foundation aims to support projects that directly address these health challenges within the state, ensuring that their funding contributes to a healthier Idaho. The program targets several vulnerable populations, including seniors, underserved and underrepresented communities, veterans, and youth. The impact goals are centered around improving health equity, supporting the expansion of programs and services through capital and material expenditures, and fostering growth opportunities for these initiatives. By focusing on these specific groups and types of support, the foundation intends to create a tangible and positive impact on the health outcomes of Idaho residents who need it most. Funding priorities include addressing health equity, which aligns with the goal of reaching underserved populations. The foundation also prioritizes supporting capital and material expenditures, indicating a strategic focus on strengthening the infrastructure and resources of qualifying organizations. Furthermore, promoting growth opportunities for programs and services demonstrates a commitment to sustainable, long-term improvements in healthcare access and delivery. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in terms of quantifiable outcomes, the foundation's theory of change suggests that by increasing access to healthcare, promoting early detection and prevention, and supporting the growth of effective programs, there will be a resultant improvement in the overall health and well-being of Idahoans. The emphasis on funding projects that target specific health issues and populations implies an expectation of reduced health disparities and enhanced health service availability.
