ArtsWA’s Wellness, Arts, and Military (WAM) program aims to introduce more Veterans and military-connected families to the enriching possibilities of the arts. Whether someone is picking up a creative practice for the first time or returning to a long-time interest, the arts offer a space for self-expression, connection, and discovery. Through participation in artistic experiences, individuals can explore new skills, build community, and engage in meaningful personal growth. Engaging in an art practice improves physical, social, and emotional well-being for active-military, Veterans, and their families.Through the Self-directed Art Practice (SAP) grant program, WAM offers this unique opportunity for eligible military-connected individuals to spend time pursuing an art practice for professional and personal development.

The North Dakota Department of Commerce leads the efforts to attract, retain and expand wealth and talent in North Dakota.
Talent Pipeline Fly-In Grant Program
The Talent Pipeline Fly-In Grant Program is administered by the Workforce Development Division of the Department of Commerce.
Background
The #1 recruitment challenge for employers, identified in the 2025 ND Workforce Ecosystem Assessment, is “not enough workers.” With the 3rd lowest unemployment rate across the country, but over 16,000 open jobs, North Dakota must look outside its borders to fill our workforce needs. People can learn about jobs without seeing them, but they cannot understand the lifestyle that North Dakota has to offer without seeing and feeling it. By hosting fly-in events across the state for qualified candidates identified from the Find The Good Life pipeline, we can capitalize on the inviting nature of North Dakota and showcase the good life people can have here while highlighting real career opportunities.
In 2023, a pilot Fly-in was conducted in Grand Forks with 7 participants.
The goal of the program is to have successful conversions from fly-in participants to North Dakota residents. Consequently, successful awardees must commit to continued follow-up with fly-in events for up to a year post-event.
Purpose
The Talent Pipeline Fly-In Grant Program is designed to connect candidates with public and private sector employers who are hiring out-of-state job seekers while providing an experience of the “good life” in North Dakota.
A minimum 1:1 match is required. State agencies are not eligible to apply.

Behavioral Health Promotion Community Grants
Funding Opportunity
North Dakota Health and Human Services (ND HHS) is seeking creative evidence-based behavioral health promotion proposals with a focus on promoting mental health, preventing suicide and/or preventing substance use/misuse.
Promotion and prevention strategies are designed for individuals and populations not identified to be in need of treatment for behavioral health conditions. Rather, promotion and prevention is a proactive approach; creating an environment that promotes the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities, which prevents problems before they occur. Research over the last two decades has shown mental illness and substance use disorders are both preventable and treatable. Promotion and prevention efforts are a critical component of the behavioral health system and are most effective when stakeholders and community members work together to take action – emphasizing collaboration and community mobilization.

Benefitting people in the places making the AI future possible
The Future is for Everyone Fund
Meta is investing directly in education, community enhancement, workforce development and sustainability projects in locations where we have a data center in the United States.
The AI future we are building is for everyone. That starts with making sure everyone in the places that are home to a Meta data center feel the benefits in their communities. We want students to have bright futures, small businesses to flourish and communities to be prosperous.
Our commitment to the communities we call home.
The Future is for Everyone Fund supports investments and programs that address local community priorities in the United States, where we have a Meta data center:
We invest in the people and shared spaces that help a community thrive. That includes the parks, trails, and gathering places where neighbors come together, the technology and access that keep them connected, and first responders - like police officers, firefighters, and paramedics — who keep our communities safe.
We support the people and organizations that power local economies - helping workers gain the skills, certifications, and hands-on experience the modern economy rewards, and backing initiatives that create jobs and give a community its character.
We fund the programs, spaces, and tools that help learners of every age discover what they're capable of - from early literacy and the arts to hands-on science, technology, and problem-solving - and we equip the educators who make it happen with the resources to bring their most ambitious lessons to life.
We invest in the long-term health of the land, water, and wildlife that make our communities home - supporting things like habitat restoration and resource conservation that connects people to the natural world.
What is the Future is for Everyone Fund?
The Future is for Everyone Fund is Meta’s $1 billion commitment to invest directly in the U.S. communities that are home to a Meta data center. The Fund supports local schools, nonprofits, and community organizations and is organized into four focus areas that reflect local priorities: Community Enhancement, Economic Vitality, Education, and Sustainability. It builds on the over $70 million in grant funding we’ve provided to our data center communities since 2011.
Request for Proposals: Launchpad Funds
Background
Coefficient Giving is increasing its giving, primarily to prepare for the billions of dollars in new philanthropic capital that may become available in the coming years. Our increased giving in global health and wellbeing is a temporary surge, with two objectives: to smooth funding and pull forward initiatives we expect to be cost-effective, and to help create an ecosystem of regrantors and implementers with the capacity to allocate this new money as cost-effectively as possible. Additional context on our scaling is provided in this blog post.
With new potential capital on the way, we want to increase the supply of actionable and fundable plans to address some of the world’s hardest problems. We’re looking for specific, credible strategies to convert funding into measurable progress. Our ideal funds are:
However, we are also open to funds that are thematic and don’t have a quantified goal — for example, a fund organized around a promising type of intervention. Such funds still need to be led by a single, identifiable person who is accountable for the fund’s direction.
Through this request for EOIs, we aim to seed or scale Launchpad Funds that can grow to $100m+ over the next few years. We don’t seek scale for its own sake; it is a proxy for the ambition of the fund, and a signal that the problem is large and tractable enough to justify deploying significantly more capital over time.
