The regions received Visit California’s one-to-one matching Tourism Marketing Grants totaling $464,000 to bolster  their marketing efforts. This year regions commonly invested in the California Visitor’s and California Road Trips guides, social media marketing, website development, conference attendance and much more. 

For the third year in a row, the Rural Committee voted to execute a Google Ads retargeting program, which promotes rural destinations to consumers who have visited VisitCalifornia.com. To maximize exposure, this campaign will launch in spring, timed with Visit California’s global spring media buy.

Visit California also introduced Rural Strategic Programming funds, which allocated more than $15,000 per region for participation in the Leveraged Media Co-op . The Leveraged Media Co-op campaigns will also launch in the spring in tandem with Visit California’s global marketing investment and the Google Ads retargeting program. The two digital campaigns, Google Ads Retargeting and Leveraged Media Co-op, will garner rural destinations almost 50 million impressions and unlimited partner hand-offs to regional websites between March and June, 2023.

New State Budget Invests $15 Million to Help Fully Restore California’s Tourism Economy

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (June 30, 2022) – The new state budget agreed upon by Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers will include $15 million in marketing funds to support the ongoing recovery of California’s tourism economy.

These funds will be used to supplement Visit California’s proven tourism efforts by providing direct support for domestic tourism marketing programs aimed at driving increased travel to destinations and communities throughout California.

The new funding builds on the state’s previous investment of $95 million in tourism marketing stimulus in 2021, which has been critical to reviving the state’s hard-hit tourism sector and accelerating the travel industry’s path to recovery.

Visitor spending in California grew 46% last year compared to 2020, totaling $100.2 billion, according to Visit California’s 2021 Economic Impact Report. Updated economic projections now forecast that travel spending will reach 2019 levels by 2023 – a year earlier than previous estimates.

“California’s travel and hospitality industry is grateful to Gov. Newsom and the Legislature for including $15 million in the state budget to continue the tourism economy’s recovery from the devastating pandemic,” said Visit California President and CEO Caroline Beteta. “The state funding will supplement the travel industry’s contribution and allow Visit California to continue marketing programs across the nation to inspire travel to the Golden State. The $95 million allocated by the Legislature a year ago helped California reclaim its nation-leading tourism market share and reestablish itself as one of the state’s most reliable job producers. This $15 million contribution will help finish the job and bring California’s tourism economy back to pre-pandemic levels in 2023.”

This stimulus will provide additional resources that will help Visit California close the gap in the state’s uneven tourism recovery by supporting marketing programs aimed at promoting family travel, professional meetings and travel to California’s urban hubs, which continue to be disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

Initial projections estimate that the state’s $15 million investment in tourism marketing stimulus will generate at least $4 billion in visitor spending at California businesses and create 37,600 travel and hospitality jobs. ###

Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation Grants

Draper richards kaplan foundation.

The Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation seeks to dramatically improve the lives of people and the world around us through innovative strategies, systems changing approaches, and disrupting technologies. Our goal is to find social entrepreneurs with dynamic ideas and nurture them at the early stages with maximum leverage and total commitment.

Prospects for our portfolio of social enterprises come from a vast field of compelling ideas and dedicated leaders. We concentrate our selection on the capabilities of the founder/leader, the scalability of the model, and the potential impact of the organization on the world.

We have an open application process and accept applications year round. Borrowed from our venture capital legacy we find exceptional entrepreneurs, provide them with 3 years of unrestricted capital (totaling $300,000) and provide rigorous on-going support by joining their board of directors for the 3 years and partnering with the leader to help them to build capacity in their organization and scale their impact.

DRK’s hope is to support outsized impact through entrepreneurs and enterprises that create a transformational paradigm shift to meaningfully address a pressing societal problem affecting people’s lives.

• Organizations addressing a critical social or environmental issue as the focus of their work.
• Founders who intend to expand their impact significantly over time.
• Organizations operating in Africa, Europe, India, Latin America, and the United States.
• Independent nonprofit and impact first, mission-driven for-profit entities, including US 501(c)3 and its non-US equivalents, C corporations, B corporations, and hybrid organizations.
• Fiscally sponsored organizations in select cases where there is a plan to spin out (in our experience, independence creates stronger enabling conditions for growth).
• Your program, product or service is already in the market or in the field.
• You have early indication that your model is having its intended impact.
• Your organization is 3-5 years old (this is not a rule, but a guidepost).
• We believe that full-time leadership from the organization’s founder(s) is critical to an early stage organization’s growth.
• We recognize that going full-time requires resources that you may still be putting together, and if that is the case we are happy to start a conversation with you in the meantime.
• We value diversity of people proximate to the problem at hand and a commitment to foster justice, equity, inclusion, and belonging practices.

Issues include:

• Arts & Culture
• Civic Engagement
• Economic Empowerment
• Energy & Environment
• Environment & Climate Change
• Food & Agriculture
• Social Justice
• Systemic Poverty

DRK Prioritizes :

• Evidence of focused alignment, systemic social change, data-based decision making.
• Leaders who are continually learning and iterating and welcome a deep working relationship with DRK for 3 years. Leaders who intimately understand the opportunity and the communities they serve. Leaders committed to advancing justice, equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging for all.
• Organizations who are designed to realize their impact at scale.

The Audacious Project Grant Program

The Audacious Project is a collaborative funding initiative catalyzing social impact on a grand scale. Every year we select and nurture a group of big, bold solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges, and with the support of an inspiring group of donors and supporters, come together to get them launched.

Housed at TED, the nonprofit with a long track record of surfacing ideas worth spreading, and with support from leading social impact advisor The Bridgespan Group, the funding collective is comprised of several respected organizations and individuals in philanthropy.

Our goal is to match bold ideas with catalytic resources.

• We encourage the world’s inspirational changemakers to dream bigger than ever before.
• Help shape their best ideas into viable multi-year plans.
• Present those solutions in a compelling way to potential supporters.

The Process

Every year, The Audacious Project works with proven change-makers to surface their best, boldest ideas for tackling global problems.

Sourcing & review

Projects are sourced from public applications and a global network of partners and donors. They are narrowed down to a group of finalists whose ideas are representative of a broad range of geographies and issue areas while elevating leaders with proximity to the communities they serve.

Idea shaping & investment support

Each finalist project goes through a rigorous ideation, due diligence, and investment support process, to ensure their proposal is achievable and compelling.

Funding & launch

Finalist projects are presented privately to groups of donors and are then publicly unveiled at TED. Funded projects then pursue their plans and share regular updates on key milestones reached with donors and the public.

Is Your Idea Audacious?

• Are you a changemaker with a bold vision?
• Are you a non-profit with an experienced team equipped to receive large scale philanthropic support?
• Is your idea a proven concept that aspires to create a better world?
• We look for ideas that cover a wide range of issues, from global health and climate change, to social justice and education.

What Makes An Idea Audacious?

• Your idea should capture a bold vision for tackling one of the world's most urgent topics.
• It is your opportunity to take a giant leap forward; you may be tempted to think incrementally, but remember for it to be bold, your idea should offer significant, enduring impact.
• This vision should bring us much closer to your version of an ideal world in a matter of years rather than generations.
• There should be a unique aspect or creative element to your approach that challenges convention or status quo or changes the narrative for the greater good.
• There should be evidence that the idea will have impact based on a track record of past success, a demand from those that would be affected, and justified confidence that results can be sustained in the future.
• There should be a sense of where you will be at the end of a multi-year funding term and the strategy, resources and timeline required to achieve it. We want to hear about the changes that would take place because of your idea, not just the components that go into implementing it.
• You and your capable and confident team have the backing of a nonprofit, NGO, or institution (or is part of a collaboration between multiple such entities). This organization should be able to receive philanthropic funds and have the core infrastructure necessary to support the work. (Note: Past projects have had an annual operating budget of $1 million or more.)

California Invests More Than $50 Million in Youth Substance Abuse Prevention

Published: Apr 10, 2024

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: California is awarding new grants to fund  the “Elevate Youth California” campaign – a statewide program dedicated to supporting youth mental health and preventing substance abuse among kids and teens.

SACRAMENTO — Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is awarding over $51 million to 75 community-based and tribal organizations, utilizing Prop 64 funding, to further support youth mental health and expand the state’s substance abuse prevention programs. Efforts like these help inform young Californians about the dangers of drugs, how to prevent substance abuse, and cope with adversity and trauma.

“As a father, I know that kids today are under more stress than ever. California is committed to providing the mental health support that children need and deserve — and tools to help them cope with adversity.” Governor Gavin Newsom

“Kids are under tremendous stress and looking for ways to cope. As parents, the Governor and I are committed to strategic investments like these that support young people’s physical and mental health, ensuring they have the resources they need to understand and prevent substance use disorder.” First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom

HELPING CALIFORNIANS: The Elevate Youth Campaign (EYC) provides three-year grants to youth-focused community-based and tribal organizations that:

• Implement youth development, peer support, and mentoring programs that are evidence-based and help kids heal and recover from trauma, cope with adversity, and thrive.
• Empower youth to get involved in their communities.
• Prioritize harm reduction and public health solutions that address and prevent substance use disorder.

KEY NUMBERS: Since 2019, DHCS’ EYC program has engaged 6,793 new diverse stakeholders over five grant cycles:

• providing services to 68,539 youth;
• holding 41,185 prevention program events with 296,435 participants;
• convening 259 listening sessions.

BIGGER PICTURE: Programs and investments like these are all part of Governor Newsom and First Partner Siebel Newsom’s Mental Health Movement , which takes a whole-body approach to helping people get the support and care they need – focusing on:

• Treatment and Housing for Those Who Need it Most;
• Increasing Access to Mental Health Services;
• Building our Health Care Workforce;
• Supporting and Serving our Kids.

As part of this effort, the Newsom Administration launched the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative and the Master Plan to Tackle the Fentanyl & Opioid Crisis . To learn more about California’s response to the opioid crisis, visit www.opioids.ca.gov .

Museum Grant Program

• Disadvantaged Communities
• Libraries and Arts

The Museum Grant Program is intended to solicit proposals for projects that assist the California Cultural and Historical Endowment in supporting and enhancing museums that are deeply rooted in, and reflective of, previously underserved communities.

Description:

Assembly Bill (AB) 716 established the California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) in 2002. Funds for the CCHE came from Proposition 40, the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002.

$122 million in grants were distributed competitively for the acquisition, restoration, preservation, and interpretation of historical and cultural resources.

In 2013, AB 482 (Atkins) authorized the creation of a specified competitive grant program administered by CCHE to support small capital projects in museums. On September 23, 2018, Senate Bill (SB) 1493 was approved and expanded the museum grant program’s project focus to include exhibits, educational programs, outreach programs, public programs, curriculum, marketing, and collections care in museums.

The Budget Act of 2020 (SB 74) states that the California Natural Resources Agency shall prioritize the funds for museums severely affected by COVID-19 and that serve historically underserved communities and/or students subject to Title 1 of the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

The Budget Act of 2021(AB 128) appropriated $50 million for museum grants and directed the California Natural Resources Agency to continue prioritizing the funding for museums severely affected by COVID-19 and that serve historically underserved communities or students subject to Title 1 of the Federal Elementary and SecondaryEducation Act.

On September 13, 2022, SB 963 amended the Museum Grant Program’s 20-year-old statutes to reflect the state’s evolving priorities.

Eligibility Requirements

Eligible applicants:.

Eligible Geographies:

Matching funding requirement:.

Nonprofit organizations are not required to provide a match.

Matching funds are required for public agencies in an amount not less than 5% of the requested grant amount. However, public agencies directly serving an underserved community, and with compelling circumstances, may ask the State to consider approving a lower match.

Important Dates

Funding details, funding source notes:.

AB 128 Budget Act of 2021 appropriated $50 million for museum grants. Approximately $27.7 million is available and may be awarded over multiple rounds depending on the competitive pool.

• Reimbursement(s)

Funding Method Notes:

Payments will be made on a reimbursement basis.  Ten percent (10%) of the amount requested for reimbursement may be retained and issued as a final payment upon project completion. Advances of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the grant award at a time may be available upon need.
