ABOUT IMPACT
The Illinois Milestones Project: Achieving Capacity Transformation (IMPACT), is a free program offered by Illinois Coalition for Community Services to interested non-profits across the state.
The program will launch in January 2010 with three regional training conferences, followed by nine training workshops, offered Feb. through April, at different locations around the state.
In addition to training, all organizations will receive individualized technical
assistance during face-to-face meetings, emails, and phone calls with an ICCS Community Organizer. [For a list of staff and directory, please click HERE]
In addition, cash grant recipients will be selected, by competitive process, from the eligible organizations that fully participate in the program and submit a detailed work plan proposal.
The request for proposals will be released at the January IMPACT Conferences and will only be available to participating organizations in attendance.
