Modern scientific societies are increasingly vulnerable due to their dependence on membership fees and journal subscriptions, which are being challenged by the rise of virtual networking and open-access publishing.
Most for-profit companies still confine nonprofit relationships to corporate philanthropy. Donations flow through foundations, annual reports highlight community contributions, and nonprofit engagement is framed as evidence of corporate responsibility.
The three-year commitment is rooted in the understanding that arts and culture are essential civic and economic infrastructure in Oregon. The foundation's $20 million commitment has grown to more than $23 million thanks to new donations and strategic grants.
These actions further align the postsecondary and workforce education programs of ED and DOL and will position DOL as the central hub for America's postsecondary education and workforce development programs.

The fewer solicitations you have, the less time grant applicants have to figure out which of our pigeonholes they fit into. In the past, a solicitation might have been for an individual program, which means it's attached to an individual program officer and a specific dollar amount. Now, instead of going to one program officer's area, the NSF will use technology to better route applications to wherever within the agency they can best be reviewed.
Institutions want to be recognized for the great work they're doing. What [the recognition] would say to the public, to the students, to our community, is that we don't just enroll a certain percentage of students. We also produce successful outcomes for those students.
Scientists are increasingly turning to artificial-intelligence systems for help drafting the grant proposals that fund their careers, but preliminary data indicate that these tools might be pulling the focus of research towards safe, less-innovative ideas. These data provide evidence that AI-assisted proposals submitted to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) are consistently less distinct from previous research than ones written without the use of AI - and are also slightly more likely to be funded.
Over the years, I've worked as a consultant on numerous federal grant projects from the US Department of Agriculture and elsewhere that focused on local economic development and were granted to nonprofits serving their communities. But since the 2024 elections, the focus of my work-and that of the small New Mexico-based consulting firm, Prospera Partners, that I lead-has shifted to help nonprofits develop strategies to sustain themselves despite federal cuts in funding and to programs that once supported their work.
"Singlism" is a term coined by psychologist Dr. Bella DePaulo; this is defined as the discrimination and stereotyping of those who are non-married (I prefer this to the term "unmarried"). I'm not a psychologist, but a lot of the assumptions Dr. Tanglen's colleagues made about her "freedom" are an example of singlism. Much of the loneliness the writer felt may have been a result of internalized singlism, which emanates from societal messages from our public discourse (media, business practices, even laws)
My reporting charts the changes the foundation has undergone since 2018, when Elizabeth Alexander, a noted poet, became its president. The nonprofit has become more and more openly political; in 2020, Alexander declared that Mellon would prioritize 'social justice in all of its grantmaking' going forward. Because Mellon is the country's largest humanities funder by several orders of magnitude, larger even than the federal government, this new direction has
The 15-member commission, which was created by the Oregon Legislature, has already awarded $125,000 in community grants to 38 eligible organizations for projects focusing on how the 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 has shaped the state. The funding, which was approved in two rounds, has flowed to both urban and rural parts of Oregon. Now the commission has announced that a third round of grants totaling $50,000 will be available starting on Wednesday, March 4. The maximum grant is $3,000 and no match is required. Fifty percent of the grants will be dedicated to rural communities.
Since its launch in 2021, the program has become the largest private national grantmaking initiative of its kind, supporting visual arts organizations in the United States through assessment, planning, and implementation of efforts to reduce their environmental impact through clean energy generation and energy efficiency measures. Overseen by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in association with Environment & Culture Partners and Green Design Collaborative, FCI has awarded more than $17.5 million to 249 institutions across 40 states to date.
"For over a decade," the news release states, "he has developed and led arts-based programs with marginalized youth, including co-founding Ascending Flow in East Portland and helping develop Keys, Beats, Bars at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in partnership with the Oregon Health Authority.

Celebrating its 20th year, the Chicago-based non-profit United States Artists (USA) has released the names of its 2026 fellows, each of whom will receive a $50,000 unrestricted grant. In addition to the monetary prize, fellows benefit from tailored support from USA, such as financial planning, career consulting and legal advice. Awarded in ten categories-architecture and design, craft, writing, dance, film, media, music, theatre and performance, traditional arts and visual art-
Postdoctoral researchers are an essential part of academic science and the knowledge Cornell brings into the world. They often mentor students and lead projects, helping advance discoveries in areas like quantum materials, genomics and biomedicine - work that will fundamentally transform technologies, medicine and public health," said Gary Koretzky '78, vice provost for research, who will administer the grant to researchers in the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Cornell Engineering.
