The Cleveland Foundation is accepting applications for the second round of grants from the Cleveland Neighborhood Safety Fund (CNSF). This fund aims to enhance the safety of all Clevelanders through community-centered violence intervention and prevention strategies, aligning with the Foundation's mission to establish, manage, and implement the NSF. The CNSF is guided by a nine-person advisory committee, including representatives from Cleveland City Council, Cleveland Administration, community leaders, and community members impacted by violence, ensuring a community-driven approach. The Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks to appropriate up to $1 million to community violence intervention and prevention partners (CVIP) for programs focused on the summer months of June, July, and August 2024, leading into the school year. Target beneficiaries include individuals involved in or at high risk of violence, youth within the justice system, and individuals experiencing violence. The impact goals are to reduce gun violence, divert youth from the justice system, and disrupt the cycle of violence in Cleveland's most affected neighborhoods. Proposals should support organizational capacity building through additional staff, program expansion, and increased outreach. The CNSF prioritizes a data-driven approach to creating safe and healthy neighborhoods, starting with people at the center of serious violence and extending outwards. The fund's strategic priorities include building the capacity of organizations and fostering a network of community providers and system partners. This network relies on skilled workers with a personal understanding of trauma who meet people where they are and form strong relationships. The theory of change involves a mutual commitment from partners of all sizes to engage in a violence prevention ecosystem that honors the interdependency of interventions and organizations to reduce violence. Expected outcomes include a reduction in gun violence through proactive strategies and meaningful relationships, successful diversion of youth from deeper involvement in violence and the juvenile justice system, and a disruption of the cycle of violence through direct interventions. Successful applicants are expected to participate in coordinated efforts with other funded agencies, engage in training and technical assistance for capacity building and fidelity to best practice service models, and participate in evaluation activities to inform continuous improvement and learning within the network. This comprehensive approach aims to achieve measurable results in community safety and well-being.

The Ingram-White Castle Foundation offers grants to combat hunger for knowledge, independence, and self-sufficiency in central Ohio. The Foundation's mission centers on empowering young people towards self-improvement and full participation in society, aligning its grant programs with values of physical, educational, emotional, and spiritual nourishment. This approach reflects a strategic priority of transforming lives through knowledge and enabling youth to realize their full potential, rooted in a theory of change that fostering self-sufficiency leads to a more engaged and empowered community. The target beneficiaries are primarily disadvantaged students and central Ohio nonprofit organizations serving them, as well as those addressing critical human service needs. The Foundation's impact goals include enhancing academic success for students, preparing them for the workforce, and strengthening educational institutions. By investing in these areas, the Foundation aims to yield substantial community benefits and promote cooperation among agencies, thereby addressing the core needs of those yearning for a better life. The Foundation prioritizes projects that encourage matching gifts or additional funding from other donors, demonstrate significant community benefit for the resources invested, and promote inter-agency cooperation without duplicating services. While the grant duration is generally one year, the emphasis is on sustainable impact and empowering individuals to help themselves. The Foundation generally avoids grants for religious purposes, budget deficits, conferences, or projects typically covered by public agencies, reinforcing its focus on targeted, impactful interventions within its defined scope. The expected outcomes include improved academic performance for disadvantaged students, enhanced workforce readiness, and stronger educational infrastructures. Measurable results would likely stem from the success of programs that align with these goals, demonstrating progress in areas like student achievement, employment rates among beneficiaries, and the overall capacity of supported educational and human service institutions. The Foundation's strategic priorities are deeply invested in the belief that providing a "helping hand to those who currently cannot help themselves" ultimately benefits all, and that stewardship in investment leads to significant and lasting impact for those seeking a better life.
