Getting online is easier when someone can help with the connection, device or skills. Seattle’s Technology Matching Fund backs that practical combination: digital guides, classes, devices, technical support and connectivity for residents who face barriers to getting online. The 2027 application window opened October 15.

Eligible applicants need a Seattle address, and activities must happen inside city limits. The maximum grant is $45,000. Applicants must confirm a community contribution worth at least 25% of the request, so a full request needs $11,250 in eligible cash, time or materials. City resources cannot supply that match; religious organizations are ineligible.

The application deadline is January 15 at 5 p.m.; the published sources omit a time zone, so calendar reminders remain all-day. An optional in-person session is October 27. Organizations with an open city digital-equity grant contract on December 31 cannot receive a 2027 award, and groups that failed to complete a TMF project in the past two years are ineligible. Check the guidelines before applying.

Some projects need a larger room in the budget before they need a larger room in the building. Murdock’s strategic grants can support added staff, programs, facilities or equipment, with different rules for each. Its current letter-of-inquiry window opened October 15 and closes November 11.

The minimum request is $100,000, and the project’s total budget must be at least $200,000. Those are floors, not a promised award or a universal matching formula. Eligible applicants include qualifying public charities, federally recognized Tribal entities and certain government entities. Three complete years of operating and financial history are required; fiscally sponsored organizations are excluded.

Read the sector exclusions before treating a regional address as sufficient. Senior centers, hospices and other services for aging are among the excluded applicants. The Northwest geography test also matters. Start with the portal eligibility quiz, then explain the specific change the grant would enable. Hiring, purchase and project-start restrictions vary by grant type; committing costs first can make an otherwise sensible request ineligible.

A better public service starts with a problem the city actually wants to solve. Cities Deliver supports work in public health, economic mobility, environmental resilience and civic engagement. It launched October 14, seeking organizations that can build alongside municipal teams and underserved residents.

Seed grants range from $500,000 to under $1 million; scale grants offer $1 million to $2 million. Both last 24 months, with half paid initially and half when the recipient documents an agreed result. Recent generative AI must do meaningful work, but no particular provider is required. Funded software, models and documentation must generally be openly licensed, with exceptions for certain existing, third-party, confidential or security-sensitive material.

A committed city partner is essential, not a favorable extra. Round one needs the city’s signed letter of intent, an eligibility check and a short proposal video by November 29 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. Nonprofits and several other organizational forms can qualify under detailed conditions; governments cannot lead. Read the terms before promising a commercial benefit or treating a national agency as the required municipal partner.

Putting several logos on a proposal does not make the work collective. Atlassian’s education call asks organizations to agree on the plan, do the work together and measure the results. The focus is disadvantaged learners, with a thoughtful response to the changes AI brings. A well-reasoned choice not to use AI can qualify.

Registered nonprofits can lead globally, with at least two organizations involved and a public and charitable benefit. The award ceiling is US$1 million over two years, also limited to 25% of the lead’s operating budget for that period. This open call accounts for US$5.5 million within a broader US$8 million initiative.

Start the Goodstack eligibility step before polishing the application: the invitation can take a few days. Final submissions close October 30 at 11:59 p.m. Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Prepare the USD budget and shared answers offline; submitted tasks cannot be edited, and autosave follows the starting device. Partners must be ready to deliver together. A network that simply distributes one organization’s proprietary program misses the point.

A community living with polluted air or unsafe water should have the people and resources to speak up. The Frontline Funding Collaborative supports Washington organizations that work with communities facing environmental harm and help put the Healthy Environment for All Act into practice.

The second round offers eighteen grants of $20,000 each. Washington 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofits and groups they fiscally sponsor may apply. A fiscal sponsor is a qualifying nonprofit that accepts financial responsibility on another group's behalf. Reviewers will look at how the work helps residents take part, addresses obstacles and connects communities with one another and state agencies.

Applications close November 18. The issuer does not state a cutoff time, so check before relying on a same-day submission. Applicants need a WizeHive account and a proposed project budget explaining how the funds would be used. The grant should help the organization do its work under the HEAL Act; it is not a grant for just any environmental project.

A treatment program only works if a young person can reach it. OJJDP funds local treatment for youth with substance use disorders, including co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, who are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system or have already entered it.

The agency anticipates six awards of up to $650,000 each over 36 months. Listed state, local and federally recognized Tribal governments and qualifying nonprofits can apply; nonprofit higher education institutions are excluded. No match is required. One organization leads each project. Partners can receive part of the grant to carry out their share of the work, but cannot apply as joint leads.

The administrative work starts early. If registration or renewal is needed, the notice says to begin the SAM.gov process no later than October 30. Submit the SF-424 in Grants.gov by November 16 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern, then the full JustGrants application by November 23 at 8:59 p.m. Eastern. Check account readiness now.

A better way to examine a cell or handle a biospecimen can open a question that existing tools cannot answer. NCI's Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies program supports early tests of new methods and instruments that could help researchers study cancer.

The R61 call permits up to $150,000 a year for direct project costs for as many as three years. Projects must test whether the proposed technology can work. Using an existing tool only to investigate a new biological question does not qualify, and clinical trials are not allowed. Universities, nonprofits, businesses and foreign organizations can apply, but this notice does not permit project funding passed to foreign partners through subawards or subcontracts. Applications close November 10 at 5 p.m. in the applicant organization's local time. Confirm institutional registrations before drafting: NIH says they can take six weeks or longer. Check the full announcement and distinguish direct project costs from the whole project budget.

Research can establish that an approach works and still leave a difficult question: how does it become part of care at a meaningful scale? The Pathways for Health Research Collective seeks projects that put existing health research into practice in the United States and carefully measure the results.

Teams need strong existing evidence, a three-year plan and a partnership between the researchers and the people who will put their findings to use. The idea must already have moved beyond an initial test, but still need work at a larger scale. Projects must show partner commitments of resources and other support. The funders expect both financial and in-kind contributions, such as staff time or facilities, to complement the grant.

Initial proposals are due November 18 at 3 p.m. Eastern. Most participating funders award to qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations; state universities may apply. The opportunity does not support for-profit entities directly or indirectly through nonprofit venture-philanthropy programs. Read the detailed eligibility and budget guidance before choosing a lead.
