Volunteerism
Projects which have paid staff but involve significant and continuous community volunteer support to enhance their existing programs will be favorably considered.
Discrimination
Applications from agencies offering services exclusively to one gender, age group, or race will be closely scrutinized for discriminatory practices. Funding will be based on the needs of the individuals being served.
Innovation
The Platte Area Foundation fund ongoing, well established projects as well as innovative projects designed to address existing community needs in innovative ways.
Multi-year Funding
Only proposals for one year will be considered by the Foundation Board. If projects require more than one year to accomplish their objectives, they should submit a letter with the first year application indicating their intent to request additional years of funding. No guarantee of continued funding will be communicated until subsequent grant applications are reviewed. Once initiated under Foundation funding, projects with good track records should be considered favorably in subsequent grant decisions. No more than three years of sequential grant funding shall be awarded to any one grantee for the same purpose.
Challenge or Matching Grants
The Platte Area Foundation encourages matching funds from all grant applicants. When the Board perceives the need for more local involvement and support of a given project in order to establish ownership in the community, it may require challenge grants in any proportion. Funding may be contingent upon acquisition of the required matching money. There may be times when the Platte Area Foundation perceives a need is not being met and may issue a challenge grant or request for proposal to participate in a challenge grant to address that need.

Pathways to Opportunity: Supporting Young Adult Workforce Development in Greater Philadelphia Program
Philadelphia Foundation has made a long-term commitment to advancing economic mobility throughout Greater Philadelphia.
We believe this is a moment that demands collective ambition and action. Together with business, civic, community, and philanthropic partners, Philadelphia Foundation has committed to coordinated, long-term work to grow the regional economy, strengthen pathways to quality jobs, and ensure that young people and their families are economically secure, empowered, and connected from cradle to career.
As part of this commitment, Philadelphia Foundation is launching a new grant program to build new partnerships with workforce development providers with strong outcomes to help build a more connected workforce and opportunity ecosystem across the region.
As we implement this new strategy, we remain committed to our role as a trusted partner to the nonprofit community. While proactively contributing to increasing economic mobility, Philadelphia Foundation remains committed and will continue to provide flexible support for organizations meeting the needs of our region's most vulnerable residents and remain responsive to and partner on emergent crises and opportunities to leverage effective community philanthropy.
PF's initial focus is on supporting young adults' access to high-demand, good-paying jobs that do not require a college degree through investments in gold-standard workforce development training providers. These programs have documented returns on investment and strong employer partnerships in priority sectors, such as skilled trades, technology, and non-clinical life sciences.
The purpose of this RFI is to gather information on promising models, gaps, and trends in young adult workforce development providers in Greater Philadelphia. The information from the RFI will be used to inform future Philadelphia Foundation grantmaking.
A subset of the organizations that respond to this RFI will be invited to submit an application for funding.

About Wallace
Our mission is to help all communities build a more vibrant and just future by fostering advances in the arts, education leadership, and youth development.
Request For Research Proposals:
Advancing Well-Being in the Arts Arts and Economic Mobility
As a part of its Advancing Well-Being in the Arts initiative’s Field Studies program, Wallace is interested in funding a small set of research studies that investigate aspects of how community-based arts organizations contribute to the economic mobility of their communities. “Communities” may include organizational staff, artists, audiences, program participants, local constituents served, and/or others as defined in proposals.
For this RFP, we broadly define and understand economic mobility, and pathways to economic mobility, as emerging through access to training and preparation, expanded social and professional networks, high quality jobs, as well as to basic needs such as safe neighborhoods, housing, health care, and food. However, we are eager to learn, through the studies to be funded, how arts organizations themselves conceptualize, define, and support economic mobility in their communities.
To that end, we invite letters of interest for studies related to the arts and economic mobility that would be of use and benefit to community-based arts organizations by, for example:
Deuel County Community Foundation Grant
The foundation was created in 2007 by a group of community leaders looking ahead with a vision to provide individuals a way to give back to their community.
Developing Deuel County
Deuel County has faced the challenges of continued development, sustained job growth, population growth and quality housing for quite some time. These challenges seem to be inherent in the rural areas of our country and demand continued attention if the communities are to hold their own in today’s economy.
To that end, there have been a number of development organizations through the years that have done their best to promote growth. Some have been based at the city level and some at the county level. Without giving a history lesson listing all the development organizations of the past, it should be sufficient to note that Deuel Area Development, Inc. (DADI) is the current group working to develop business and housing in Deuel County.
You have probably also heard of the Deuel County Community Foundation (DCCF). The foundation is another ‘development’ organization but it works not with business and housing, but rather with others in Deuel County to offer quality-of-life enhancements to the area.
Supporting Quality-of-Life Improvements
The Deuel County Community Foundation exists to support activities in Deuel County that improve the Quality-of-Life for Deuel County residents. It’s not intended that the directors of the DCCF fund the projects they know about or are ‘favorites’. The intent is that community members will bring their projects and needs to the board.
Based on dollars available and competition that exists between multiple applications, the board makes its’ best decision to award funds to those projects that show value. Attempts are made to distribute moneys throughout the county and to fund a variety of projects.
Mesquite Regional Community Fund

The Mesquite Initiative supports projects that strengthen and enrich the communities of the Virgin Valley and Moapa Valley areas. This regional fund invests in local solutions that bring people together, enhance shared spaces, and foster a strong sense of community pride.

About Knight Foundation
John S. and James L. Knight believed that a well-informed community could best “determine its own true interests” and was essential to a well-functioning, thriving democracy. They pursued those beliefs, building and leading one of the largest and most successful newspaper companies in American history.
For 75 years, Knight Foundation has supported the people, ideas and insights that lead to thriving communities. The foundation invests in local journalism, arts and culture and community development in the 26 cities and towns where the Knight brothers once published newspapers.
Since our founding in 1950, we have been committed to the communities we serve and to providing those communities with the tools they need for residents to thrive.
Knight Cities Challenge
Knight Foundation is currently accepting applications for the Knight Cities Challenge, a $5 million open call inviting individuals and organizations across its 26 communities to submit new, creative ideas for projects that can spark change and leave a lasting local impact.
Building on a long history of open challenges across programs, Knight democratizes access to grantmaking to unlock the best and brightest ideas. This spring, KCC returns to invest in its first cohort of community-centered solutions to local challenges and help promising ideas take root and grow.
Project ideas must focus on at least one of Knight’s investment areas: strengthening local news and information, creating pathways for economic opportunity or cultivating connection through arts, culture and the places that bring people together.
You may submit one idea, either as an individual or on behalf of your organization. While you are limited to one application as the lead applicant, you may collaborate on other projects submitted by different partners. Each individual or organization may receive funding for only one project.
For large institutions such as universities or city governments, schools or departments are considered separate entities.

Adapt Grants
Adapt Grants are designed to fund projects that are small in scale, meet an unanticipated need, explore new opportunities, sponsor an event, and grow capacity. These grants are meant to be flexible and support you in adapting to changing needs, so whether you’re dreaming up a new project that could use seed or matching support, or are tackling a challenge that popped up suddenly, we want to support you in executing your day-to-day mission. Compared to the Community Grant Program “big rocks”, we consider these to be “pebble” projects. Both are important for advancing one’s mission. You can apply for both an Adapt Grant and the Community Grant Program in the same year.
For 2025-2027 the OCF has identified three high impact partners areas to proactively support the community:
Proposals that align with these areas will be strongly considered.
