State Treasurer's Office · $1–$9.7M

This California program is restricted by statute to 13 named Children's Hospitals (eight private nonprofit and five University of California hospitals) for capital improvement projects, so it is not open to other nonprofits or the general public.

Because funds are distributed until exhausted or until the next NOFA, timing matters; no specific award amount is listed in this posting, and it is a formula/allocation program rather than a typical competitive grant.

Emergency Mgt Agency · Amount varies

This FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program funds states, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribal governments, and local governments for hazard mitigation activities. Per the listing, eligible applicants are predetermined by FEMA through the FEMA GO system rather than open to general application, so most organizations cannot apply directly.

Eligible applicants include colleges and universities, other nonprofits, commercial organizations, international organizations, and state, local, or tribal governments — federal agencies do not qualify. It funds NOAA Climate Program Office research, education, outreach, and decision-support work related to climate adaptation and mitigation. Note that the title references FY 2012, so this may be a legacy notice rather than a currently open opportunity; no current award amount or deadline is listed.

Idaho Field Office · Amount varies

No specific award amount or deadline is listed, and eligibility is limited to California recycling-sector operations located within designated zones.

Emergency Mgt Agency · Amount varies

Restricted to states, U.S. territories, federally recognized Tribal governments, and local governments that FEMA has predetermined are eligible via the FEMA GO application system — not open to general applicants.
