Orange Effect Foundation Empowers Children and Young Adults - The Orange Effect Foundation Skip to primary navigation CLEVELAND – Oct. 3, 2016 — Strengthened by the tremendously successful annual Golf for Autism event held in August, the Orange Effect Foundation announced today that it has awarded five grants for speech therapy and assistive technology.
These grants will empower five more children and young adults, helping them to transform their lives. One eighteen-year-old recipient received funds to purchase a device that minimizes stuttering. Although there is no cure for stuttering, this device recreates the “choral effect,” a significant reduction or elimination of stuttering when an individual speaks or sings in unison with others.
The goal is to restore self-confidence when speaking, enabling the recipient to move forward with personal achievement goals that include increased social engagement and economic independence. Another recipient will receive assistance to purchase a device that enables him to more fully participate in school and interact with his teachers and classmates.
Currently frustrated by his inability to communicate, this device will provide the recipient with the ability to express his wants and needs, make choices, and engage socially with peers. His mother and his speech therapist believe that this assistance will help to make a big difference in his life.
Funds were also given to children who continue to make gains in speech therapy, but who exhaust their insurance coverage after only a few months or for whom insurance does not meet their needs. The Orange Effect Foundation works directly with the therapists for these recipients to pay for speech therapy sessions after the insurance runs out. One parent expressed the pain of knowing her son is frustrated by his inability to communicate.
She believes the Orange Effect grant will enable him to make significant strides toward more effective communication. “Our goal is to empower children and young adults with the tools they need to lead full and happy lives,” explains Orange Effect Board Member Cathy McPhillips. “Raising self-esteem and building confidence simply by enabling communication is a truly rewarding experience.
” The Orange Effect Foundation empowers children and young adults with speech disorders to effectively communicate through therapy, education, research, and technology resources. The Orange Effect Foundation awards quarterly grants through a competitive application and review process. The next grant application deadline is November 15, 2016.

The foundation, while officially formed in 2014, actually began back in 2001 when the founders’ son was born with autism.
Early intervention has led him to be a very heartwarming and independent young man. The Pulizzi family wanted to give back by empowering other children with the therapy and tools they need to communicate effectively. In 2007, Golf for Autism was started, in time raising over $100,000 for autism and speech therapy services.
Next year’s event will be held on August 7, 2017. For more information, please contact info@theorangeffect. org 17040 Amber Drive Cleveland, OH 44111

The political pre-issuance review provision drew the headlines. But the more consequential change is procedural — turning the Uniform Guidance into the Uniform Grants Regulation removes every internal speed bump on future OMB grant rulemaking.
Read articleOMB and more than 40 agencies have finalized the most sweeping rewrite of the government-wide grants framework (2 CFR / Uniform Guidance) since 2013, with an October 1, 2026 effective date. The rule converts guidance into binding regulation, gives agencies discretionary authority to terminate compliant awards that 'no longer effectuate agency priorities or the national interest,' adds pre-issuance political review, and strips appeal rights for discretionary terminations. Here is a clear-eyed breakdown of what changed, who is affected, and the concrete steps applicants and current grantees should take now.
Read articleOMB and roughly 40 agencies have proposed the most sweeping overhaul of 2 CFR Part 200 in more than a decade. Political appointees would pre-review notices of funding opportunity and discretionary awards, agencies gain near-unappealable 'national interest' termination authority, and federal funds can no longer support collaborations with covered foreign entities. The rule drew nearly half a million comments and is slated to take effect October 1, 2026. Here is what actually changes, who is exposed, and how to write proposals that survive the new regime.
