That and more in the Impact Newsletter

In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday this week in the U.S., we want to
say how thankful we are for our partners. The mayors and local leaders bringing
communities together. The artists revitalizing neighborhoods. The public health
practitioners fighting to save lives. The educators and experts helping
students succeed. The advocates and innovators building a greener, healthier
future. And so many more.
We're glad to share some of the most recent work that Bloomberg
Philanthropies is leading and supporting with many of those partners today:

What Could Your City Do
with $1 Million for Public Art? <[link removed]>
Last week we launched our third Public Art Challenge, which will grant as much
as $1 million to up to 10 U.S. cities for public art projects that build
community, tackle civic issues, and drive creative partnerships. Previously
selected cities developed creative community-led projects to address challenges
from healing after gun violence to climate change. Together, these projects
have spurred policy changes and more than $100 million in economic development.
Mayors have until February 15 to apply.

The city of Mumbai has struggled with heavy — and deadly — traffic for many
years. Through street improvements, safety awareness campaigns, and other
collaborative interventions, the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global
Road Safety has worked with local planners to reduce the number of road
fatalities in Mumbai by 43%, according to 2020 data.

A Guidebook for Local Climate Investments
<[link removed]>
<[link removed]>
The Inflation Reduction Act represents the largest climate investment in U.S.
history. To help local leaders understand the resources available to them
through the law, Climate Mayors and C40 Cities released "Climate Action and the
Inflation Reduction Act: A Guide for Local Government Leaders." The guidebook —
supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies — advises U.S. mayors and city staff on
opportunities for local governments, organizations, and businesses to implement
the IRA and address climate change.
