About this program
The objectives include: 1) more Illinois applicants will be encouraged to apply for federal awards; 2) more Illinois applicants will be able to meet federal matching requirements; 3) grant recipients will have more competitive federal applications; and 4) the State will be able to support projects that are aligned with its economic goals and priorities. This will be achieved by providing state matching funds for federal grant applications.
Run federal grants too?
State grants are free to browse and are not part of member fit-scoring, alerts, or the Tuesday digest — those cover federal grants. Members get every federal grant that opens fit-scored to their organization (the home page defines exactly what the board covers) — with an alert when a real match posts.
