Fwd: Life's Plan Inc.'s 2011 Micro-Industry Grant Funds for People

with Disabilities

A note form Nixon of Life's Plan

May 9, 2011

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As Executive Director of Life’s Plan Inc., Illinois’ first non-profit pooled

special needs trust, it gives me great pleasure to offer Individuals with

disabilities and mental illness an opportunity to apply for a Micro-Industry

grant. Life’s Plan Inc. has been serving individuals with disabilities for over

25 years in protecting private assets in a Medicaid qualified trust while

insuring public benefit programs such as SSI and Medicaid are never jeopardized.

This mini grant is to provide grant funding of up to $2000 to help

individuals with disabilities or mental illness start up a micro-industry

business. The business is to be run by a person with a disability with the

needed support from staff or family to allow the person to be more economically

independent. Examples of these types of micro-industries include but are not

limited to: a shredding company, jewelry making, used book resale, greeting

cards, vending machine business etc…. for the purpose of giving these

individuals the opportunity to start up their own small micro-business.

All grant submissions must be turned in by July 12, 2011 by 5 p.m., please

see attached RFP for complete details and rules. Please refer interested

parties to Life’s Plan Inc.’s website: www.lifesplaninc.org where the RFP will

be listed under the link “Grants”.

Please pass the good word along to your disability networks and families on

this great opportunity to provide someone with a disability the opportunity

toward economic self sufficiency and hopefully an improved quality of life.

Sincerely,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
