Community Collaborative for Reimagining HIV Care: Call for Proposals
Overview
The Merck Foundation (the “Foundation”) is pleased to announce the launch of the Community Collaborative for Reimagining HIV Care (the “Collaborative”), a five-year national initiative to improve timely access to and continuity of high-quality, person-centered care for people living with HIV in under-resourced communities across the United States.

EV Charging Assistance Program (EVCAP)
The Virginia Department of Energy is offering the EVCAP subaward program to work at the community level to understand and address issues surrounding the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The focus is on specific underserved communities, and the results will inform current and future EV charging deployment.
The grants are open to EV charging vendors or for collaborations between governments and technology providers.
The second round of EVCAP focuses on community-level solutions that expand charging access in historically underserved areas, including historically economically disadvantaged communities, environmental justice communities, and brownfield sites, including previously mined lands. Virginia Energy is seeking projects that not only install charging equipment, but also demonstrate project readiness, improve accessibility, report on charger usage and community impact, and help overcome barriers to electric vehicle supply equipment deployment in Virginia.

Proposal Amount:
EVCAP Round 2 is funded through the federal U.S. Department of Energy State Energy Program (SEP) Formula Grant authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Virginia Energy is administering these funds as a competitive subaward program.
Across the United States, small and micro businesses (SMBs) play a critical role in driving economic opportunity, job creation, and community prosperity. Yet many entrepreneurs continue to face challenges accessing the training, resources, and support needed to grow and remain competitive in an evolving economy. To help address these needs, Visa Foundation is committing $2M to launch an open-call grant program that will support nonprofit Entrepreneurial Support Organizations (ESOs) that provide direct services to SMBs. Through this program, Visa Foundation aims to strengthen the capacity of high-impact organizations that help small businesses build greater resilience, expand economic opportunity, and contribute to thriving local economies.

Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development
The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) partners with state, federal, local and nonprofit housing and community and economic development initiatives. DHCD programs strive to maintain the vibrancy of communities throughout the Commonwealth and include providing universal broadband access, investing in economic development initiatives, promulgating the statewide building and fire regulations, preserving the affordability and efficiency of Virginia’s homes and buildings, addressing homelessness, reducing eviction rates across the state and fostering innovative solutions to create affordable housing.

DHCD is committed to creating safe, affordable and prosperous communities to live, work and do business in Virginia.
Community Business Launch Grant
The Community Business Launch (CBL) is a place-based entrepreneurial development strategy that fills a critical mass of vacant storefronts with expansion or start-up ventures. Local CBL programs train entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners about business planning practices. This training culminates in a group of finalists pitching their ideas to a panel of judges, with winners receiving grant funding and support services from the community to kick-start their new venture. While only a limited number of entrepreneurs may win the business competitions, the CBL gives rise to many budding entrepreneurs that have been prepared through the CBL grant to create or expand successful businesses.
A CBL program generates excitement while educating the community business opportunities for local people. A CBL grant from DHCD leverages other financial and in-kind resources to prepare multiple entrepreneurs to operate successful businesses, whether they win or lose the pitch competition. Additionally, many CBL grantees replicate the CBL strategy repeatedly without DHCD resources to amplify job and business creation. When preceded by thorough market analysis and relentless outreach, then followed by ongoing business retention efforts, a CBL program is a key building block in a coordinated, comprehensive, and sustainable entrepreneurial eco-system of community-based entrepreneurs and small businesses at all stages of life.
