The City of San Antonio's Small Business Construction Support Grant Program aims to provide financial assistance to eligible micro and small business owners whose enterprises are negatively affected by city-initiated construction projects. This initiative, funded by the City of San Antonio and managed by LiftFund, allocates $1,459,168 to support for-profit small businesses, with individual grants ranging from $5,000 to $35,000. The program's core objective is to mitigate the financial hardship experienced by businesses due to construction-related disruptions, thereby fostering economic stability and continuity within impacted commercial zones. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are micro and small retail or service businesses that rely on customer foot traffic for their operations and are situated within designated construction zones. To be eligible, businesses must have generated a minimum of $10,000 in gross sales in 2022, meet the SBA Size standard for small businesses based on their NAICS code, and demonstrate a net profit/loss in 2022 that is at least $5,000 greater than in 2023. This focus ensures that the support reaches businesses that are actively contributing to the local economy and have experienced a measurable decline in profitability due to construction. The program specifically excludes non-profits, gambling/gaming businesses, franchisors, sexually oriented businesses, payday & auto loan providers, liquor stores, and businesses with a City employee or officer having a financial interest, ensuring the funds are directed towards a specific segment of the business community. The program prioritizes businesses that are currently operational, have not filed for bankruptcy, and are committed to remaining in their eligible construction zone for at least one year from the grant award date. This ensures the grants support resilient businesses that are integral to the community and will continue to operate in the affected areas. A key focus is on demonstrating financial impact, requiring applicants to show a significant difference in net profit/loss between 2022 and 2023, directly linking the need for support to the construction-related challenges. Expected outcomes include the sustained operation of small businesses within construction-impacted areas, job retention, and the overall economic recovery of affected commercial corridors. Measurable results will likely include the number of businesses receiving grants, the total amount of grant funds distributed, and potentially, tracking the survival rate of these businesses post-grant. The program's success will be measured by its ability to alleviate financial stress on small businesses, allowing them to weather construction periods without significant long-term negative impacts, and contributing to the vibrancy of San Antonio's local economy.

Humanities Texas awards grants to nonprofit organizations and governmental entities for public programs grounded in the humanities. These programs aim to engage the general public, including adults and young people outside of traditional educational settings, as well as specific groups like K-12 teachers and ethnic communities. The foundation's mission is to support and promote the humanities by funding initiatives that foster open and informed inquiry and make humanities scholarship accessible to a broad audience. This aligns with a strategic priority to enrich public life through the humanities and ensure their relevance to diverse communities. The grant program targets a wide range of beneficiaries, from the general public participating in lectures, discussions, and exhibits, to K-12 teachers and community groups who benefit from specialized workshops and programs. The impact goals include increasing public engagement with humanities topics, fostering critical thinking, and promoting a deeper understanding of cultural and historical contexts. Through these programs, Humanities Texas seeks to strengthen communities by providing opportunities for shared intellectual and cultural experiences. Humanities Texas offers various grant types with specific focuses. Mini-grants fund up to $2,000 for smaller public humanities programs, such as speakers or traveling exhibitions, and are particularly accessible due to their rolling application basis. Major grants for community projects, up to $20,000, support comprehensive public programs like seminars, conferences, and interpretive exhibitions, emphasizing substantial participation from both humanities scholars and target audiences. Additionally, major grants for media projects, also up to $20,000, fund the development and production of humanities-related film, radio, television, or interactive programming, ensuring scholars play a key role in content. The expected outcomes of these grants include the successful execution of public humanities programs that are firmly grounded in the humanities and actively involve humanities scholars in their design and delivery. Measurable results could include attendance figures for events, participant feedback, the reach of media projects, and the development of new educational resources. The foundation's theory of change posits that by funding these diverse and accessible programs, it can cultivate a more informed and engaged citizenry, strengthening the role of the humanities in public discourse and community life across Texas.
