Suggest a Project

The goal of this page is to help ensure potential stimulus projects have a chance to apply for funding. If you think you have a project or proposal that is eligible for federal stimulus funds, please fill out the form below.

• This is not a formal application.
• Any information submitted here will be available for public review.
• Completing the form in no way guarantees that your project will eventually receive stimulus funding.
• Collaborative projects are highly encouraged, but collaborators should submit each project only once.
• If you wish to send more than 5 separate projects, please email them as a “batch” to gov.recovery@illinois.gov .
• Individual government benefits, like unemployment funds and Pell Grants, will be distributed through previously established channels. This website and the federal stimulus cannot accommodate such requests.
• If you have problems with this form, please write to gov.recovery@illinois.gov .
