Funding Opportunity for Nonprofit Organizations to Offer Financial Education

Illinois nonprofit organizations interested in offering free financial education classes to low-income adults are invited to join the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law in a bidders’ conference call on August 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Learn how your nonprofit organization can apply for $14,700 in funds to deliver the financial education program developed by Financial Links for Low-Income People (FLLIP). The Shriver Center, as the coordinator of FLLIP, has funds available to partner with up to seven nonprofit organizations across Illinois.

To apply for funding, an organization representative must participate in the conference call. Nonprofit organizations in the Chicago metropolitan area may attend in person at the Shriver Center (50 E. Washington St., Suite 500, Chicago). Conference call number and materials will be sent when registration is confirmed. If interested, please contact Hannah Avellone , Shriver Center, by July 26 at 312.368.8575.
