Together we can. Giving back and changing lives for the better. The Elvoid Lakes III Foundation provides assistance to individuals and organizations in their endeavors to enhance themselves and the community.
As a private, faith-based, philanthropic organization, the Foundation seeks to assist eligible individuals and organizations in underrepresented communities. Principally, providing support to those attempting to expand or enhance in the areas of social & economic policies, science & technology practices, and of Christianity. "You do what you do" - that was the mantra for Dr. Elvoid Lakes III.
By this, he meant that whatever you set out to do, embody it fully and consistently. He always made it his mission to do his best -whatever the task-and to ‘do’ for others, whether in the form of sharing, educating, or supporting their wellbeing. The Elvoid Lakes III (EL3) Foundation was established in 2020 in honor of Dr. Lakes.
Recognizing, first-hand, Dr. Lakes’ love, concern and generosity for others; Dr. Sherry Lakes (his wife) and Dr. Seria Lakes (his daughter) went into action to continue his legacy. Words cannot adequately describe Elvoid’s love, his quiet boldness, his commitment, nor his life. Therefore, the excerpt below merely provides a glimpse of Dr. Lakes...
Elvoid loved faithfully and compassionately, and was a consummate learner. His pastimes varied, but typically included boating, doing yardwork, traveling, and fishing. Indeed, his top priorities for retirement were to work as a Park Ranger (teaching people to fish); traveling the nation in an RV; and restoring a ‘57 Chevy Belair.
Dr. Lakes grew up in Mississippi and lived most of his adulthood in Maryland. He excelled in academics and was awarded several college scholarships, but chose to delay college for the U.S. Navy (serving shipboard and at the Naval Academy). The Navy afforded him the opportunity to travel around the globe and provide his expertise in Electronics and Systems Engineering.
Not surprising, Elvoid excelled in his contributions to the field of Engineering and Naval Warfare Systems and as a result, he received multiple accolades from the military as well as private industry. In addition to numerous industry-related certifications, Dr. Lakes received his Doctorate of Science (DSc) Degree in Information Assurance. He also obtained degrees in Information Systems, Systems Engineering, and Law & Public Policy.
To all who knew him; it is no surprise that Elvoid completed much of the coursework for these degrees while workiing full time, leading his household as a wonderful husband & father, and supporting the community. Above all, Dr. Lakes was committed to God and his family, having an overwhelming concern and generosity for everyone. His legacy continues with the EL3 Foundation.

The Defense Production Act's Title III has quietly become one of the most active federal funding vehicles of 2026 — $500M for energy infrastructure, ~$275M for critical-minerals processing, and a standing defense-manufacturing FOA. But the underlying authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization. Here is how DPA Title III works, who is eligible, why it differs from a normal grant, and how to move before the window closes.
Read articleTitle III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
Read articleOn April 20, 2026, the White House declared grid, natural gas, LNG, petroleum, and coal 'essential to national defense,' unlocking DPA Title III loans, loan guarantees, and purchase commitments through DOE. Here is how this non-traditional financing works, who qualifies, why the September 30 sunset matters, and how energy companies and their supply chains should position now.
