00 PURCHASING OF GIFT CARDS OF ANY KIND IS NOT AN ALLOWABLE EXPENSE FOR THIS GRANT. Indirect Cost Description This grant shall not restrict indirect costs to the grant. The grantee shall either submit evidence of a federally negotiated rate, the rate as approved through the GATA Indirect Cost Rate System or accept the de minimis rate.
In order to charge indirect costs to a grant, the applicant organization must have an annually negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA). There are three types of NICRAs: a) Federally Negotiated Rate. Organizations that receive direct federal funding, may have an indirect cost rate that was negotiated with the Federal Cognizant Agency.
Illinois will accept the federally negotiated rate. The organization must provide a copy of the federally NICRA. b) State Negotiated Rate.
The organization must negotiate an indirect cost rate with the State of Illinois if they do not have a Federally Negotiated Rate. Or the organization may elect to use the de minimis rate.
If an organization has not previously established in indirect cost rate, an indirect cost rate proposal must be submitted to the State of Illinois through the indirect cost rate system, CARS, no later than three months after the effective date of the award.
If an organization previously established an indirect cost rate, the organization must annually submit a new indirect cost proposal through CARS within six months after the close of the grantee’s fiscal year. All grantees must complete an indirect cost rate negotiation or elect the de minimis rate in CARS to claim indirect costs.
Indirect costs claimed without an established negotiated rate or a de minimis rate election in CARS may be subject to disallowance. c) De minimis Rate. An organization that has never received a Federally Negotiated Rate may elect a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct cost (MTDC).
Once established, the de minimis rate may be used indefinitely. The State of Illinois must verify the calculation of the MTDC annually in order to accept the de minimis rate. The Department reserves the right to limit the amount and/or type of indirect costs that is allowed to be charged to this grant award.
For example, the cost of independent research and development, including their proportionate share of indirect costs, are unallowable under this grant award. Grantees have discretion not to claim payment for indirect costs. Grantees that elect not to claim indirect costs cannot be reimbursed for indirect costs.
The organization must record an election of “No Indirect Costs” into CARS. Restrictions on Indirect Costs Submission Timeline Additional Information You may submit your budget and application prior to the due date for applications.
Allow Multiple Applications Application Review Start Date / Pre-Qualification Deadline Other Submission Requirements Applicant must have met all pre-qualification requirements and have an approved Internal Controls Questionnaire prior to award. Additionally, the Department reserves the right to not award to an Applicant if the entity is determined to be delinquent on audit submissions.

The OpenAI Foundation is putting $100 million behind Breakthroughs to Follow-Through, a Common Health Coalition initiative aiming to at least double hepatitis C cure rates in eight states and localities within two years. Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana and Massachusetts go first, money flows to local collaboratives and nonprofits, and the grants are deliberately not tied to any one AI vendor. Here is what makes an organization fundable under it.

The standard deal is 50/50. The deal that matters for small towns is the full-funding provision for economically distressed communities — and the thing that disqualifies applicants is not the project, it is GATA prequalification.
Read articleIllinois's Federal Grant Support Program (Round 2) puts $16.9 million into a single, unglamorous job: paying the non-federal match that keeps competitive applicants out of federal competitions they would otherwise win. Awards run $10,000 to $2 million across roughly 30 recipients, on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline. As federal rules tighten and match requirements harden into eligibility gates, a 'grant to get a grant' is becoming one of the highest-leverage dollars a state can spend. Here is how the program works, who should pursue it, and why match funding is the quiet chokepoint in the 2026 federal landscape.
