Housing, Community Facilities & Economic Development

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) program provides funding to help non-profit housing and community development organizations support housing, community facilities, and community and economic development projects in rural areas.
Animal Welfare
aspcapro.org
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is accepting Letters of Inquiry for its ASPCA Northern Tier Shelter Initiative Coalition Grants program. Grants will be awarded to local, state, or regional coalitions of organizations in Alaska, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin that are working to dramatically improve and advance animal welfare in their communities. Priority will be given to coalitions working toward long-term, systemic, and sustainable community/regional improvements in animal welfare services. Funding will be distributed to those coalitions with demonstrated need, capacity to effectively absorb the funding, and the commitment and capacity to complete the proposed projects.
Young Artist
www.youngarts.org
The National YoungArts Foundation provides emerging artists (ages 15-18 or grades 10-12) with opportunities to work with renowned mentors, access to significant scholarships, national recognition, and other opportunities throughout their careers to help ensure that the nation’s most outstanding young artists are encouraged to pursue careers in the arts. YoungArts is accepting applications for its 2017 Prize cycle. Support is offered in ten artistic disciplines: cinematic arts, dance, design, jazz, music, photography, theater, visual arts, voice, and writing. Each year, hundreds of students are selected from across the country as national winners. Winners will receive grants of up to $10,000 each, have the opportunity to attend YoungArts programs, and partake in master classes with internationally renowned artists, workshops, interdisciplinary activities, performances, and exhibitions.
Creative Placemaking
www.arts.gov
The National Endowment for the Arts has published guidelines and the application for the next funding round of Our Town, the agency's primary creative placemaking grants program. The Our Town grant program supports creative placemaking projects that help to transform communities into lively, beautiful, and resilient places with the arts at their core. This funding supports local efforts to enhance quality of life and opportunity for existing residents, increase creative activity, and create a distinct sense of place. Our Town offers support for projects in two areas: 1) Arts Engagement, Cultural Planning, and Design Projects: 2) Projects that Build Knowledge About Creative Placemaking.
Soccer
ussoccerfoundation.org
Since 1995, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has awarded grants to more than six hundred organizations in the United States for projects designed to keep children in underserved communities active, healthy, and safe. Urban areas often lack available space for children to play outside. In order to provide an opportunity for all children to play soccer, the foundation has taken on the task of providing children across the nation with places to play. The foundation is accepting Letters of Inquiry for its Safe Places to Play program, which provides grants to organizations to help them build or enhance a field space in their communities. Grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded for the installation of field surfaces, lighting, and irrigation for field space in urban settings.
