Nonprofit Federal Resilience (NFR) Grant Program
On Tuesday November 18, 2025, the County Council unanimously passed Resolution 20-979 that appropriated $1.5 million for the FY26 Nonprofit Federal Resilience Grant Program. The goal of this Grant Program is to provide funding to 501(c)(3) nonprofits to offset cancelled or delayed Federal funds due to the recent Federal Government shutdown or other adverse administration actions. Grant Program awards will supplement core operating and salary costs required to sustain the organization in the absence of federal funds. The Grant Program will be limited to nonprofits and their federally funded programs providing direct services to Montgomery County residents.
Awards are expected to range from $25,000 to $300,000.
Funding Priorities
Outside of the Eligibility Criteria above, funding will be awarded by prioritizing how the cancelled or delayed Federal funds due to the Federal Government shutdown or other adverse administration actions impact the solvency of the organization over the next 12 months. Note that delayed disbursement of funds will be treated the same as the cancellation or termination of a grant award.
The Priority Goals of this funding are in the following order:
Organizations and their staff based in Montgomery County, MD will also be prioritized over organizations and their staff based in other jurisdictions.
It is up to applicants to clearly articulate how they meet the priority criteria in their proposals so that they are weighted and scored appropriately.

Improvements to Modeling Climate Data in Demand Forecasting
To meet California’s energy goals and produce a forecast which accounts for climate change, there is an urgent need to incorporate improved climate data, downscaled projections, and advanced modeling techniques into electricity demand forecasting, system planning tools, and resilience analyses. This solicitation seeks a contractor to provide technical expertise, climate-data processing, and modeling support aligned with ongoing interagency research efforts to continue the work on improving methods for preparing global climate model (GCM) data inputs for use in the CA energy demand forecast. In the 2024 IEPR cycle, CEC staff supported the development of downscaled, bias-corrected projections over California at a 3-kilometer by 3-kilometer spatial resolution and translating the projections into inputs to be used in the forecast to calculate impacts on annual and hourly demand. While the 2023 forecast used hourly output from four Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) models localized to specific weather stations used within the CEC’s forecast models, four additional WRF model runs became available during the 2024 cycle. Staff provided a comparison between the two vintages of model run, and the potential impacts of using the new model results which suggest a significantly warmer climate. These findings result in higher loads if used in the forecast. The 2024 and 2025 IEPR cycles have continued to use the initial WRF run data, but work has continued to understand potential ways to incorporate the new WRF model data. This includes analyzing impacts on peak demand, and average level of heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) from the initial and new WRF runs.
The Energy Commission seeks a contractor to assist in the following activities:
There is $400,000 available for the contract resulting from this RFP. This is an hourly rate plus cost reimbursement contract and the award will be made to the responsible Bidder receiving the highest points.
The NABG is honored to provide scholarships to Undergraduate and Graduate students enrolled full-time in Geoscience programs at an accredited college or university.

RFA: Technology Consultant for the Production Tracking System (PTS)
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) is seeking proposals from qualified individuals or firms for a three-phase engagement to evaluate, modernize, host, and support the PTS. In Phase 1, MassCEC requires a thorough diagnostic assessment of the current system, including review of codebases, deployment pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps or other CI/CD tools), data models, security controls, and system performance. The current system is a .NET application (primarily C#) with an SQL backend, hosted in Microsoft Azure. Phase 2 will focus on implementing the approved modernization strategy and delivering a production-ready modernized system. Phase 3 will provide ongoing operations, hosting, and support.
The objective is to preserve and improve existing registration, reporting, and verification functionality. The project should also enhance security, accessibility, logging, monitoring, and program compliance. The system must ensure seamless processing for programs including Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Mass Class I, Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC), Renewable Thermal (RT), Alternative Energy, and Clean Peak Standard (CPS).
Deliverables are expected to include a modernization strategy, migration plan, technical documentation, automated deployment capabilities, and long-term operational support. Support must include maintenance, bug-fixing, and enhancements with a focus on maintainability, scalability, and risk mitigation. The outcome will be a modernized, functionally equivalent PTS with improved security, reliability, and performance.

Grants are most commonly $35,000.
Nonprofits that are eligible for preschools grants include licensed nonprofit preschools, early childhood education centers, houses of worship, and family-focused organizations that provide pre-K learning programs. Funders may also focus their grants on early childhood education programs and teacher training in their respective communities. Many grants require applicants to be 501(c)(3) organizations and may prioritize initiatives serving low-income families and children with special needs.
Grants in preschools typically have the highest concentration of deadlines in Q1, with 29.7% of grant deadlines falling in this period.

Funders also seek to enhance school readiness and learning environments, support working families, support young children's development, and improve access to quality early learning programs. There are more than 6,000 grants available and an impressive $2.95 billion in funding available for preschools and early childhood education.

Of the $2.95 billion available in funding, nearly half come from private funders like the Cooke Foundation, the National Education Association Staff Organization, the James C. Stewart Charitable Foundation, and the Bell Charitable Foundation. In addition, there are many federal and state and local government funders that are providing grants for preschools and early childhood education in their respective areas.
Some of the key federal grants are from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Labor. There are also quite a bit of state-level organizations that are offering funding for Preschool grants like the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the New York State Office of Mental Health.
A carefully planned approach is needed in order to successfully win grants for preschools. To improve grant success, nonprofits should concentrate on all of these key areas:
