Illinois DCEO 2026 Economic Empowerment Centers Grant (FY26-1; $250,000-$500,000; November 6)

Illinois DCEO's Economic Empowerment Centers grant offers $250,000-$500,000 per nonprofit or career-education center applicant, with a 100% match requirement. The current DCEO webpage lists November 6, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (time zone not specified); the visually rendered NOFO and FAQ describe rolling intake. Confirm deadline with DCEO and use November 6 conservatively.

FundingApplicant award $250,000-$500,000 for anticipated two-year program term; $2,500,000 total funding pool across up to 10 awards, not an individual applicant award. Minimum 100% award-value match required: at least 50% of grant amount cash plus allowable documented in-kind to complete the required match. Reimbursement-based.
DeadlineOfficial DCEO current grant webpage displays November 6, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. (time zone not stated). However, the controlling 16-page NOFO PDF as visually rendered describes applications as rolling without that deadline in its summary or submission section, and DCEO's June 23 FAQ states rolling until funds awarded. Date mismatch requires written clarification; applicants should conservatively use November 6 at 5:00 p.m.
Required next actionRead DCEO's EEC NOFO 3226-4281, FAQ, and application guidance. Seek written clarification from DCEO about the deadline because its current opportunity webpage lists November 6, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. but visually rendered NOFO and FAQ describe rolling intake. Use November 6 at 5:00 p.m. conservatively. Complete GATA prequalification, signed Uniform Application and all-tabs Uniform Budget, disclosures, program application, organizational support documents, and 100% matching contribution documentation including at least 50% cash.
