Illinois Housing Development Authority
IHDA was created by the state legislature in 1967 pursuant to the Illinois Housing Development Act as a self-supporting agency to finance affordable housing across Illinois. IHDA does not use taxpayer dollars to sustain its operations, although it does administer publicly funded programs on behalf of the state. Since its creation, IHDA has provided more than $27 billion in state, federal, and leveraged financing to make possible the purchase, development, or rehabilitation of more than 327,000 homes and apartments for low- and middle-income households. IHDA accomplishes its mission through a number of funding sources including the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Illinois Affordable Housing Tax Credits, the allocation of federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and HOME Investment Partnership funds. IHDA is also a bonding authority and independently sells bonds, based on our strong credit rating of A1/AA/AA from Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings respectively.
Strong Communities Program
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) is pleased to announce its Request for Applications (RFA) for Round 3 of the Strong Communities Program (SCP).
SCP grants funds to municipalities, counties, and land banks to address affordable housing needs and community revitalization efforts. SCP will return vacant residential properties to productive and taxable use through rehabilitation and provide funds for demolition in cases where properties are beyond repair and negatively impacting neighboring residences, preparing them for future development. SCP will increase property values, create jobs, help reduce crime, generate additional tax revenue, and attract further community investment. By enabling greater revitalization opportunities, SCP will preserve existing affordable housing stock that is often in city centers and in proximity to community amenities (schools, parks, medical facilities, shopping, jobs, and transportation).

Our Mission
UNCF envisions a nation where all Americans have equal access to a college education that prepares them for rich intellectual lives, competitive and fulfilling careers, engaged citizenship and service to our nation.

New Profit’s Catalyze cohorts support innovative social impact organizations expanding access and opportunity in America.

About Connected Futures
Connected Futures is a new Catalyze cohort for organizations that help people move across active divides to take action toward common goals. We are looking for organizations that build trust, strengthen collaboration, and create ways for people to act together when mistrust, polarization, exclusion, or disconnection would otherwise keep them apart and prevent them from solving problems together.
These organizations may work in the health, economic mobility, democracy, and/or education sectors. What connects them is not a single issue area, but a common approach to bridgebuilding: creating the relationships, skills, and structures people need to work together toward positive change.
Catalyze cohorts are at their best when cohort members are fully engaged. The Social Entrepreneurs that lead selected organizations are expected to participate in the Catalyze support model and peer learning community in the following ways:

Arts Tourism Funding Program: Celebrating Pinellas County’s Creative Spirit Grant
Creative Pinellas is spearheading a transformative new arts tourism funding program designed to position Pinellas County as a premier cultural destination while strengthening its creative economy. On Tuesday, March 24, the Pinellas Board of County Commissioners approved the $500,000 program by unanimous vote. Creative Pinellas will direct the program, which is funded by Visit St. Pete-Clearwater (VSPC) with outreach and event support provided by St. Petersburg Arts Alliance and Clearwater Arts Alliance.
The inaugural program will fund a wide range of experiences created by artists and arts organizations selected through a competitive process. The experiences will shape a countywide, multi-week festival of the arts during Fall 2026 featuring performances, exhibitions, workshops, public art, and immersive cultural experiences across beaches, parks, downtown districts, and cultural venues. It is expected to reach an estimated 2.5 million visitors during that time.
This marks the first time Creative Pinellas has distributed arts funding to support not only individual artists and nonprofits, but also for-profit arts organizations.

About UNCF
Who We Are
For more than eight decades, this principle has remained at the heart of UNCF, enabling us to raise more than $6 billion and help more than 550,000 students and counting not just attend college, but thrive, graduate and become leaders.
We do this in three ways: By awarding more than 11,000 students scholarships, worth more than $62 million, each year. By providing financial support to 37 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). And by serving as the nation’s leading advocate for the importance of minority education and community engagement.
This three-pronged approach is powerful: Since our founding in 1944, we’ve helped to more than double the number of minorities attending college. The six-year graduation rate for UNCF African American scholarship recipients is 70%. This is 11% higher than the national average and 31% higher than the national average for all African Americans.

Terrance Lavell Winters Memorial Scholarship
The Terrance Lavell Winters Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the life and legacy of a loving son, father, brother and uncle – Terrance Lavell Winters. He was born October 7, 1983 to his parents Barbara Ezell and Ray Henderson. Terrance had one son, Trevontae Lavell Winters, whom he considered his true love.
Sometimes shy, Terrance was loved by his smile. He enjoyed buying cars, repairing them and then selling the vehicles. He was known by his family as “Mr. R.P.M.”
Since Terrance’s passing on April 26, 2005, his mother Barbara has promised to keep his memory alive. To honor her son, Barbara created the Grandma Barb’s World-Class Students program. She bought and filled book bags for nearly 300 students for nine years. Barbara also organized a successful rally, prayer vigil and march to remember and honor her son in April 2015. By establishing this scholarship, Barbara hopes to keep the memories of Terrance alive.
FFY27 93.041 Special Programs for the Aging_Title VII, Chapter 3_Programs for Prevention of Elder Abuse
Description
To support activities to develop, strengthen, and carry out programs for the prevention, detection, assessment, and treatment of, intervention in, investigation of, and response to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation (including financial exploitation), including:
The Mentoring/Scholarship Program provides educational support, college access assistance, and therapeutic support to assist youth in gaining the skills and confidence to reach their full academic and developmental potential. This is accomplished through a meaningful and supportive mentoring relationship, which is the main delivery system for higher education readiness and access. Students are also invited to attend college road trips, adventure therapy trips, and volunteer/service opportunities. This combination of these efforts facilitates positive youth development and academic achievement.
Each youth is matched with a one-on-one college educated mentor, who has been vetted and trained by Provider staff. Mentors meet weekly with youth to ensure educational success through individualized sessions to meet program benchmarks.
Together, mentors and youth complete a College Readiness Inventory which is used to assess whether the youth has mastered tasks related to post-secondary preparedness as well as skills necessary for successful adulthood. Using the results of the Inventory, youth and mentors evaluate remaining needs and set goals to work toward together.
The mentor works as both an advocate and coach for the student, identifying and gathering resources and then empowering the youth to make informed decisions about their education. Mentors connect their youth to supports like scholarships, tutors, and financial aid offices, and coach the student through new experiences like job interviews, understanding financial aid award letters, and communicating with officials in their desired academic institutions. Students are thus provided much needed assistance and opportunities to practice self-advocacy skills in their journey to independence.
Each time a student meets with their mentor, they earn $100 in scholarship money, which they can access when they are enrolled in a post-secondary program for tuition, room and board, fees, transportation, personal needs, etc. Upon receiving financial aid award letters, youth share all award letters with their mentor to compare offers and assess whether they will be in need of additional funding to attend the school. When necessary, mentors help students communicate with financial aid offices and caseworkers to obtain additional paperwork, including tax documents and court order documents as proof of independent status.
In addition to College Access Mentoring, there is a second program component, Travel and Service-Learning Opportunities. Youth are also invited but not required to attend college road trips and other travel and to participate in service opportunities.
Referrals
DCFS/CWCA workers may refer any youth interested in pursuing higher education after high school. Foster Progress Program Staff will follow up with each referral and invite the youth to submit their own application. Youth may also submit applications without being referred by workers. Program staff will then interview the young person. Youth must exhibit a commitment to continue their education and a desire for the support of a weekly mentor to work on that goal. If no mentor is immediately available, youth will be invited to participate in group activities and program staff will support their educational goals until a mentor can be recruited, vetted, and trained. All eligible participants are accepted until all openings are filled.
The Department will keep the Provider informed of policy and procedures that affect youth ages 14-21, especially as they relate to education. The Department will inform all 14 and 15 year olds in substitute care of the programming annually through the Foster Parent Newsletter, DCFS DNet, and Regional announcements and will include the Provider on the Spider website and the Education and Transition Services webpage. DCFS/POS workers coordinate and communicate with program staff and mentors regarding placement and any details that impact client’s capacity to transition successfully into adulthood, especially details such as IEPs and 504 plans in school, mental health concerns. DCFS/POS staff will inform Foster Progress program staff when there is a change in placement, new contact information for a client, or a new worker assigned to the client.
Initial contact is made with youth upon receipt of their program application via a formal interview by Program Staff. Subsequent contact includes the Match Meeting and weekly one-on-one meetings with the youth and their mentor.
Ongoing contact is maintained through quarterly individual communication and follow up with Program Staff, and periodic communication of scholarship and employment opportunities, as well as group activities. Program-wide activities include College Road Trips, Student Leadership and Service Committee, annual FAFSA Workshop, College Decision Day, and our end of the year Graduation and Scholarship Dinner.
Further contact includes youth-initiated requests for support between mentoring sessions and quarterly outreach from Program Staff, which youth seek out as-needed.
Target Population
Client: Youth in substitute care, aged 16-21, who intend to pursue higher education after high school. There are no minimum grades or test scores, all that is required is a commitment to the goal of furthering their education and the desire for the support of a mentor.
Inclusions: The agency will accept referrals for youth for whom the Department has legal responsibility are between 16 through 20 years of age, who exhibit, through the application and interview process, the desire to continue their education after high school. The agency will attempt to contact any referred client who is deemed appropriate by their DCFS or agency caseworker, POS worker or caregiver and to invite them to apply.

Request For Proposals: General Support for Program Evaluation and Related Services
Purpose
Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (Enterprise) has initiated a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to select one or more qualified consultants who can provide a range of evaluation-related supports to its in-house Impact and Evaluation department on an as-needed basis.
Enterprise seeks to select contractor(s) who can:
RFP proposals may address all service areas or only one or two. Proposals may also address only a subset of capabilities within a particular service. We do not expect that all proposals will address all competencies and capabilities. Enterprise may select individual consultants, and/or small and large firms, to meet the variety of evaluation-related activities for which we may need support. Preference will be given to those consultants who have experience in the housing and community development fields.
Illinois Department of Aging

Ann B. Zekauskas Family Foundation
Empowerment through Food Awareness, Access, and Education
We are a private, family-directed, not-for-profit philanthropic organization, established through the estate of Ann B. Zekauskas. We are dedicated to educating students, families, and communities, especially the underserved, on producing, preparing, and eating healthy foods, and to supporting organizations focused on hunger relief and careers in the culinary arts.
We perform our mission through collaborations with and support of approved non-profit organizations within these key areas of giving: nutrition education, food access, and culinary arts training.
Culinary Arts Careers - Advancing the Culinary Arts
When Ann B. Zekauskas was headed to college just after the end of World War II, there were not many professional options for women. Ann chose to study home economics. When she graduated, she took that otherwise traditional degree, moved to New York City, and created a new profession in the burgeoning field of food advertising, becoming the first notable freelance food stylist.
For 60 years, Ann worked with and around those in the advertising and food industries. She spent vacations helping her sister, Nell, and brother-in-law Frank, grow, harvest, and sell fruits and vegetables on their prosperous family farm on Long Island. Throughout her life, Ann saw how professional training in culinary arts could lead to success. She mentored young chefs, food stylists, bakers, and pastry artists to help them achieve their dreams of a career in food — whether on a studio set, in a restaurant, or at their own business.
Through direct giving to culinary training and workforce development programs, we support the next generation of restaurant managers, chefs, food stylists, mixologists, bakers, sommeliers, pastry artists, catering professionals, and more.

Nutrition Education
Ann B. Zekauskas believed that individuals of all ages — especially school-aged children and their families — should be provided with an education to understand how food makes its way from seed to plate —from planting and growing, to harvesting and sourcing, to cooking and serving.
Nutrition education empowers people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to make healthy food choices, promoting overall mental well-being and physical wellness.
In carrying out Ann’s legacy, we work with schools, community groups, and other like-minded organizations across the country, supporting their programs that encourage a lifelong practice of healthy eating.

Our Core Values
Presidential Pathology Scholarship
This scholarship allows the sitting CAP President to personally support educational creativity, expand awareness of pathology, and connect communities through the CAP Foundation’s mission to develop tomorrow’s pathology leaders.

ASEEES Internship Grant Program
Funded by an external grant, ASEEES’s Internship Grant Program provides incoming, current, and recent (i.e. those who have graduated no more than two years prior to the competition deadline) MA, PhD, and professional school students with grants that make it possible for them to accept unpaid or underpaid internships in areas broadly related to Russia, including Russia’s relations with other regions/countries.
The grant offers $2,000 a month, to be paid directly to the grantee (intern) during their internship. In the case of underpaid internships, ASEEES will work with the host institutions and the grantees to make sure the grantee receives a combined stipend of $2,000 per month or has an extended duration for the internship.

ASTS-iMDx Research Grant for Understanding the Health Economics of in-house vs send-out diagnostics
As new diagnostics become available to the transplant community, the development of in-house expertise and infrastructure vs send out testing becomes a critical decision. In-house diagnostic testing provides faster results, improving immediate patient care and reducing follow-up visits, while send-out testing (reference labs) is better for complex, rare, or high-volume specialized tests. This grant will support health econometric research projects comparing in-house vs outsourced testing and the potential impact on patient care. The output of this research would show a model of the costs and benefits of diagnostic testing in transplantation to educate transplant centers and labs on their choice of assays.
