The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) is currently accepting applications for its Safety Net Grant Program. This program is directly aligned with the foundation's mission to ensure that all individuals in the Greater Cincinnati region have access to essential resources such as food and shelter, while also increasing access to well-integrated, trauma-informed mental and behavioral health services. This initiative reflects GCF's strategic priority to address fundamental community needs and support the well-being of its residents through a comprehensive approach to health and stability. The target beneficiaries of the Safety Net Grant Program are the residents across the Greater Cincinnati region, encompassing specific counties in Indiana (Dearborn), Kentucky (Boone, Kenton, Campbell), and Ohio (Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont). The program aims to achieve significant impact by supporting or expanding existing programs, enacting capital improvements, launching new initiatives, or building organizational capacity within these communities. The overarching goal is to strengthen the safety net for vulnerable populations, thereby improving their access to critical support systems. For the 2024 Safety Net cycle, GCF has approximately $800,000 available, with individual grants awarded for up to $50,000. Preference will be given to organizations that develop solutions with a racial equity lens, demonstrating GCF's commitment to equitable outcomes. Proposals with clear and measurable outcomes are highly favored, as are organizations that have demonstrated partnerships, collaboration, and alignment with community-wide efforts. GCF also prioritizes organizations that have shown insights from past results and utilize an asset-based approach to their work, indicating a theory of change that values evidence-based practices and community-led solutions. The expected outcomes of the Safety Net Grant Program include increased access to food, shelter, and high-quality mental and behavioral health services for individuals in the region. Organizations applying must be tax-exempt (501(c)(3) status) or a government agency, or utilize a fiscal agent. While the grant duration is not specified, the funding is intended to support sustainable efforts. Funding will not be awarded for campaigns or special events, emphasizing GCF's focus on direct program support and capacity building to achieve lasting positive change within the community.

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) has opened applications for the 2024–2025 Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) American Rescue Plan (ARP) Supplemental Funding Grant. This initiative provides essential financial support to organizations serving victims of domestic and family violence across Indiana. With funding ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, the program aims to strengthen emergency services, provide housing and advocacy, and enhance recovery support for victims and their dependents. The grant also specifically addresses the ongoing and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on both survivors and the organizations that serve them. The FVPSA program serves as the nation’s cornerstone funding source for shelters and supportive services for victims of domestic and family violence. The ARP supplemental funds expand that mission to include the prevention of COVID-19 transmission, preparation for future public health challenges, and direct response to victims affected by the pandemic. ICJI emphasizes support for community-based, nonprofit organizations whose core mission involves operating shelters or providing advocacy, counseling, and self-help services for victims and their families. The funding seeks to ensure that these organizations can continue providing safe, stable, and accessible services despite the evolving challenges of public health and social crises. Under the “Prevent” category, eligible projects may include emergency housing through shelters or hotels, outreach to underserved populations, the purchase of PPE and health supplies, and technology for mobile advocacy. The “Prepare” category focuses on building organizational resilience, including conducting assessments and developing contingency plans to maintain operations during future surges. Meanwhile, the “Respond” category funds direct assistance such as counseling, advocacy, youth support services, civil legal aid, rental and utility assistance, and programs that promote victims’ economic empowerment, such as transportation, childcare, job training, and financial literacy initiatives. Approximately $350,000 in total funding is available for this grant cycle, covering a 12-month period from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. Eligible applicants include local public agencies and nonprofit private organizations—such as faith-based, community-based, tribal, and charitable organizations—with proven experience assisting victims of domestic or family violence. Applicants must demonstrate a strong record of delivering effective, survivor-centered services and must align their proposed activities with the grant’s prevention, preparation, or response focus areas. Through this FVPSA ARP supplemental grant, ICJI continues its commitment to protecting survivors, strengthening community-based response systems, and addressing the intersection of domestic violence and public health. By empowering organizations with the resources they need to adapt and sustain critical services, this program ensures that victims across Indiana can access safety, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives free from violence.
