The Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union Foundation is currently accepting applications for its Community Grant program, designed to strengthen nonprofits and enhance community programs. This initiative aligns with the Foundation's mission to make the community a better place by supporting projects and programs that address critical needs. Each grant will fund up to $1,000, which can be used for either the continuation of an existing program or the launch of a new initiative. The Foundation's strategic priorities are deeply embedded in the grant's focus areas, ensuring that funded projects contribute directly to their overarching theory of change: investing in key community pillars leads to a more empowered and resilient society. The 2024 Community Nonprofit Grants are specifically focused on four key pillars: Education, Community Impact, Social Vulnerability, and Healthcare. Within the Education pillar, the goal is to empower students by providing them with the necessary tools for success inside the classroom. The Community Impact pillar aims to improve the communities that FMFCU serves, fostering environments where residents can thrive. The Social Vulnerability pillar tackles significant challenges such as poverty, food insecurity, and the repercussions of disasters and illness, working towards tangible solutions for vulnerable populations. Lastly, the Healthcare pillar is dedicated to enabling healthcare institutions to make quality decisions that ultimately benefit patients. Target beneficiaries for these grants include a broad spectrum of individuals and groups within the specified geographic areas, particularly those served by nonprofits focusing on the aforementioned pillars. The impact goals are directly tied to the objectives of each pillar, ranging from improved educational outcomes for students to enhanced community well-being, reduced social vulnerabilities, and improved healthcare access and quality. Expected outcomes for funded projects include tangible improvements such as increased access to educational resources, cleaner and safer community spaces, greater food security for at-risk populations, and better health outcomes for patients. While specific measurable results will be defined by individual grant recipients, the Foundation anticipates that the projects will demonstrate clear progress against the stated goals of each pillar. For instance, educational programs might track student achievement or participation rates, community impact projects could measure improvements in local infrastructure or engagement, social vulnerability initiatives might report on the number of individuals served or reductions in specific challenges, and healthcare projects could track patient satisfaction or access to care. The Foundation's theory of change posits that by strategically investing in these four pillars, they can create a ripple effect, leading to long-term, sustainable positive change across the community. Eligibility for the grant program is open to organizations with a 501(c)(3) status that are located in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or New Castle counties, West Philadelphia, or University City. This geographic focus ensures that the grants directly benefit the communities where Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union operates and where its members reside. The application deadline for the grant is June 30, 2024. This program is a testament to the Foundation's commitment to supporting local efforts that resonate with its core values and strategic vision for community development and upliftment.

The Community Fund is an annual grant program by the Philadelphia City Fund, aligning with the city's goals to enhance residents' quality of life. This initiative supports charitable projects addressing Philadelphia's most pressing needs. The funding is a result of a partnership with the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend, which contributes a portion of its annual revenues to the fund. For the 2024 cycle, the program specifically focuses on youth wellness, promoting lifelong healthy activity, and nurturing healthy minds, bodies, and spirits through out-of-school time programming. The target beneficiaries are youth aged pre-K through 12th grade in Philadelphia, particularly those participating in out-of-school time (OST) programs. The program aims to support their healthy physical, social, educational, and emotional development. The impact goal is to increase equitable access to OST programming across the city, with a preference for organizations serving specific Priority ZIP Codes (19120, 19124, 19132, 19134, 19138, 19139, 19141, and 19144) identified through an analysis of quality of life metrics and OST slot distribution. The fund prioritizes small nonprofit organizations with annual operating budgets not exceeding $5 million that provide OST programming to youth in Philadelphia. Grantees will receive $25,000 in unrestricted funds, which can be used for general operations, programmatic activities, or other mission-supporting costs. Applicants are expected to demonstrate how their organization's mission and/or programming aligns with the "Nurturing healthy minds, bodies, and spirits through out-of-school time programming" theme. The expected outcome is improved well-being and safety for youth in Philadelphia through enhanced access to comprehensive OST programming. While specific measurable results beyond the funding allocation and unrestricted nature of the grants are not explicitly detailed, the focus on priority ZIP codes and the definition of OST programming suggest an intention to measure the reach and impact on youth development in underserved areas. Grantees will be expected to comply with Pennsylvania childcare regulations and maintain necessary insurance coverage during the one-year grant term, starting February 2025.

In keeping with the wishes of Michael and Sarah Benedum, the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation is a regional philanthropy focusing on West Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania. The Foundation generally invests two-thirds of its grant dollars in West Virginia and one-third in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The Foundation serves the entire state of West Virginia. In Southwestern Pennsylvania, the service area includes Allegheny, Washington, Greene, and Fayette Counties. This four-county area is a natural connector between Pittsburgh and West Virginia and contains rural communities that may benefit from the Benedum Foundation’s experiences in West Virginia. However, the Foundation recognizes that economic regions do not follow political boundaries, and therefore, the Foundation both encourages projects that cross state lines, and supports economic initiatives that benefit the multi-state economy centered on Pittsburgh. The Foundation makes grants in two program areas that span both states: Education and Economic Development. In addition, the Foundation supports Community Development and Health grants programs in West Virginia, and in Southwestern Pennsylvania supports the major performing arts organizations within the Cultural District.

The foundation is deeply committed to fostering education and training for both children and adults, developing diverse and livable communities, and preserving natural environments. This mission aligns with their belief in meaningful community engagement and responsible corporate citizenship, emphasizing trust-based philanthropy to ensure resources directly contribute to community stability and, in turn, support successful business operations in their operational footprint.

They seek proposals grounded in analysis that demonstrate creative approaches to addressing critical issues. The target beneficiaries include children and adults receiving education and training, residents of diverse and livable communities, and those benefiting from natural environment preservation efforts. The impact goals revolve around creating positive and needed change, fostering community stability, and contributing to the overall well-being of the areas where EQT Corporation operates.

Community Enrichment encourages the development of diverse, safe, healthy, and sustainable communities, with examples ranging from food banks and libraries to arts programs and community festivals. Education & Workforce aims to promote STEM proficiency for youth and create a skilled future workforce through initiatives like in-school STEM curricula, computer camps, and career planning. The Environment focus supports natural resource preservation and educates communities on conservation techniques, including community gardens, watershed conservation, and green space restoration. Beyond these thematic priorities, the EQT Foundation also seeks evidence of a geographic setting that aligns with EQT Corporation’s business locations, effective management of available resources, and outreach that garners solid public recognition and support for the nonprofit, its programs, and sponsors. While specific expected outcomes and measurable results are not detailed, the emphasis on "positive, needed, and trusted impacts" and "creative approaches to addressing critical issues" suggests a commitment to tangible community benefits. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by strategically investing in education, community development, and environmental preservation in their operational areas, they contribute to the long-term stability and success of these communities, which in turn supports their business operations.
