Bloomberg Philanthropies aims to expand access to higher education through the American Talent Initiative, which works with colleges and universities to help them recruit high-achieving, lower-income students, and the CollegePoint program, which provides free virtual advising to students to help them apply to the nation’s top colleges.
Mike Bloomberg also gave the largest gift in the history of American higher education to allow Johns Hopkins University, his alma mater, to accept students without regard to their ability to pay in perpetuity. ## American Talent Initiative The American Talent Initiative (ATI) is a coalition of top colleges and universities is committed to expanding access and opportunity for academically talented low- and moderate-income students.
By 2025, ATI aims to graduate an additional 50,000 lower-income students at over 300 leading institutions. Students on the campus of University of Dayton, a member of the American Talent Initiative program.
The CollegePoint program is designed to support high-achieving, lower-income students who will be the first in their family to attend a four-year college or university by providing free virtual counseling on the college application and financial aid process from advisors at Matriculate. Michelle Katmauswa, a student at Duke University and CollegePoint initiative participant, studies on campus.
## Financial Aid for Johns Hopkins University In 2018, Mike Bloomberg gave a $1. 8 billion gift devoted exclusively to undergraduate financial aid, allowing Johns Hopkins University to permanently commit to need-blind admissions and ensure educational opportunities for the next generation of global leaders. The gift builds on his long-standing commitment to support students through a wide array of scholarships at the university.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
