The Walter F. Goodnough Trust offers grants specifically designed to support the rehabilitation of underprivileged disabled children, aligning its mission directly with improving the health and well-being of this vulnerable population. This core grant program focuses on a critical area of need within the healthcare sector for children facing both disability and financial hardship. The foundation supports this mission by funding hospitalization-based rehabilitation services exclusively within the state of Florida. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are underprivileged disabled children in Florida who require hospitalization for rehabilitation. The overarching impact goal is to facilitate their recovery and improve their quality of life by providing essential financial support for necessary medical interventions. To achieve this, the trust prioritizes health-related programs and aims to ensure that eligible organizations, specifically 501(c)(3) exempt organizations, can access funding to serve these children effectively. Regarding expected outcomes and measurable results, the document notes that specific detailed metrics are not explicitly stated beyond the goal of "rehabilitation." However, the implicit outcome is an improvement in health and functional abilities for the children served. Success would likely be measured internally by proxies such as the number of children assisted, the types of rehabilitation services provided, and potentially the duration or effectiveness of their hospitalization and subsequent recovery. The foundation’s financial support is focused, with an average grant size ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 and an average total giving of $15,000 per year, suggesting a focus on supporting individual or smaller-scale rehabilitation projects. The foundation's strategic priorities are centered on creating a direct and measurable impact within Florida's healthcare landscape, particularly for disabled children. This focused approach is highlighted by the geographic limitation to Florida and the specific program area of Health. The trust's theory of change posits that by providing financial grants directly to qualified organizations, they can enable access to crucial rehabilitation services that would otherwise be out of reach for underprivileged families, thereby addressing a core financial barrier to recovery and improved quality of life.

The Humanities Project Grants, administered by the State Historical Society of Iowa and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), aim to support public humanities projects that encourage contemplation, spark conversation, and engage the community. This aligns with a broader mission to explore the human experience through educational programming. The program's strategic priority is to use humanities as a central resource to involve and benefit diverse groups of Iowans, fostering public value through deliberate public engagement and access to project activities. The target beneficiaries for this grant program include federally tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations incorporated and physically located in Iowa, or in border state communities demonstrating significant impact on Iowa's cultural vitality. Units of local, county, or federally-recognized tribal governments physically located in Iowa are also eligible, as are units within Iowa-based institutions of higher education with a core humanities mission. Individual filmmakers or humanities experts who are current, legal Iowa residents are also eligible, provided their projects are initiated and managed by the individual and do not primarily benefit an organization. The impact goal is to involve and benefit diverse groups of Iowans through educational programming exploring the human experience. The program prioritizes projects where humanities are central and demonstrate public value to Iowans. Eligible projects span various formats, including community discussions, lecture series, workshops, films, interpretive exhibits, and podcasts. While creative or performing arts projects may be eligible, they must serve as a catalyst for a humanities-centric project and include interpretation and/or discussion of the art. Subject areas considered include archaeology, comparative religion, cultural anthropology, ethics, folklore, gender studies, history, jurisprudence, languages, law, linguistics, literature, philosophy, and the interpretation of the arts, as well as aspects of social sciences that explore humanity and meaning within communities. Expected outcomes include increased public engagement with humanities topics and enhanced cultural vitality across Iowa. Projects are expected to benefit diverse groups of Iowans through educational programming. Measurable results would likely stem from the types of eligible projects, such as attendance at community discussions, lecture series, or workshops, or the reach of films, exhibits, or podcasts. The funding period for all project activities and expenses is November 1, 2024, to October 31, 2025, with grants ranging from $2,500 to $30,000 to cover eligible one-time project expenses. The program's theory of change posits that by funding accessible and engaging public humanities projects, it will foster deeper contemplation, conversation, and community engagement, ultimately enriching the human experience for Iowans.
