Opportunity Overview
Angel Charity for Children, Inc. is a nonprofit organization of 250 devoted volunteer members. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children in Pima County. This is accomplished through an established program of fundraising for the beneficiaries selected annually by the General Membership. We are fortunate that for 43 years, we have positively impacted the lives of over 1.2 million children in our community through the donation of almost $35 million dollars to 152 projects. 

WHAT WE FUND 
Angel Charity for Children, Inc. is accepting Opportunity Grant requests in 2026 for $10,000 to $75,000. 
Applicants must serve children aged 18 and under in Pima County. 

The agency must be a tax-exempt organization as determined by the IRS, having held this status for a minimum of three years. 

We fund Opportunity Grants that directly benefit children in Pima County for: 
● Purchase Equipment/Personal Property/Asset 
● Program Expenses 
● Combination of Both 

An agency may not apply this year if it was chosen as a beneficiary last year. Private “operating” foundations are eligible to apply, but private foundations are not. 

Grant requests must benefit a majority (51% or more) of children within Pima County to be considered. A variety of children’s needs are considered for funding regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual preference or national origin. 

For a list of past beneficiaries, including types of requests and amounts funded, please refer to the Angel Charity website www.AngelCharity.org, click “What We Do”, then “History of Giving

Due to application requirements, the University of Arizona is not able to participate in this opportunity.

Only one proposal submission per state, higher education system, or institutional cluster will be accepted. Lumina encourages collaboration among agencies, organizations, and colleges and universities when developing responses. If multiple responses are received, Lumina will alert the parties and invite them to make a joint submission.

Eligibility
The following entities are eligible to apply to the Great Admissions Redesign:

• State agencies
• State systems of higher education that include public, nonprofit colleges and/or universities
• A group of three or more public or private, nonprofit colleges and/or universities (this may include a community college district serving three or more institutions)

Program Overview
For years, students and families have shouldered most of the responsibility when it comes to navigating college admissions. But over the past decade, states, systems, and institutions have started asking a different question: What if the process worked better for students from the start?

That shift has opened the door to bold new ideas. Redesigning admissions means moving away from “the way we’ve always done it” and toward a student-centered approach. Think: automated, proactive, and streamlined systems that make it easier for more students to step into higher education.

We’re excited to support that transformation. Nearly $3.3 million in grants are now available through our 2026–2027 cycle. If you’re ready to build the admissions process of the future, we invite you to apply for one of three new funding opportunities.

Three types of opportunities:

1. Exploration grants will be awarded to states, systems, and institutions seeking to better understand the potential of redesigned admissions systems through information gathering and/or coalition building. Recipients will receive $50,000 to $100,000 each.
2. Planning grants will be awarded to states, systems, and institutions in the early stages of strategic planning to create a new admissions redesign program or add a new dimension to an existing admissions redesign effort. Recipients will receive $50,000 to $100,000 each.
3. Implementation grants will provide resources for leading states, systems, and institutions to augment and scale redesigned admissions processes. Recipients will receive up to $500,000 each.

Limiting Language
The University of Arizona is eligible for tracks 3, 4, and 5 (high research translation readiness level category). For Tracks 3, 4, and 5, an eligible organization can submit a maximum of one proposal per Track. 

Track Synopses 
  
Track 3: Technology Transfer Resource Centers (RESOURCE)   

• The ART program aims to leverage the experience and resources of IHEs or non-profits with strong research translation capacity (and/or experience) to launch a network of regional Technology Transfer Resource Centers (RESOURCE) that promote regional technology transfer and technology development activities available to multiple IHEs in a region with low or emerging research capacity and little or no dedicated technology transfer or research translation resources.  A Track 3 award for a RESOURCE is expected to provide guidance, training, education, and services to other IHEs in a region who have a low RTRL. A Track 3 award is expected to be up to a total of $8 million for a duration of 4 years. Subject to availability of funds and quality of proposals, NSF plans to make up to 5 RESOURCE awards. Some awardees demonstrating strong performance, as demonstrated by successfully meeting evaluation criteria during the award, including progress toward self-sustainability, may have an opportunity to receive renewal support for up to 4 more years and additional funding of up to $2 million, subject to the availability of funds. As noted above, the lead IHE for this Track is expected to be an IHE with a very high RTRL or a non-profit with significant expertise related to technology transfer, entrepreneurship and related areas leading to sustained economic impacts.      

  Track 4: Education and Training (ET)    

• This nationally focused Track invites proposals from IHEs or non-profits with any combination of either a strong, vibrant and established research translation ecosystem, and/or demonstrated experience to develop, evaluate, and deploy educational and training resources related to entrepreneurship, technology transfer and related activities. The beneficiaries for these education and training resources to be developed will be lower RTRL IHEs located anywhere in the United States (including but not limited to Track 1 and Track 2 awardees). Track 4 awards may be budgeted up to a total of $3 million for a duration of 3 years. Subject to availability of funds and quality of proposals, NSF plans to make up to 4 ET awards. Some awardees demonstrating strong performance, as demonstrated by successfully meeting evaluation criteria during the award, including progress toward self-sustainability, may have an opportunity to receive renewal support for up to 2 more years and additional funding up to $2 million (subject to the availability of funds), to scale up the deployment and adoption of the developed resources and training materials nationally.

Track 5: Coordinating Accelerating Research Translation (CART) 

• This Track invites proposals from IHEs or non-profits for the creation of a unifying center that will facilitate the development of an integrated platform for coordinating, evaluating, and monitoring the progress being made by teams that are supported under both Tracks 1 and 2. The CART awardee would also coordinate activities to be carried out under awards pursuant to Tracks 3 and 4. The Track 5 CART cooperative agreement award may be budgeted up to a total of $3 million for a duration of 5 years. Subject to availability of funds and quality of proposals, NSF plans to make up to 2 awards under the CART Track. Some awardees demonstrating strong performance, as demonstrated by successfully meeting evaluation criteria during the award, including progress toward self-sustainability, may have an opportunity to receive renewal for up to 5 more years and additional funding up to $3 million, subject to the availability of funds. Proposals for this Track must be led by one IHE with a high RTRL with significant expertise and experience in areas related to technology transfer, intellectual property management, entrepreneurship as well as initiatives and programs directed at sustained economic and collective impacts. 

The University of Arizona is not eligible due to an existing award.

Opportunity Overview 
Lumina Foundation is seeking letters of interest for a grant opportunity for up to 15 institutions to scale career-connected HIPs on their campuses. Applicants must seek to pursue ambitious and innovative HIPs strategies, but the benefits extend far beyond the direct funding to support this work, including:

• An opportunity to shape national practice in career-connected HIPs among exemplar institutions from across the U.S.;
• Tailored technical assistant provided by national experts to support the success of campus implementation;
• And direct funding ranging from $80,000 to $100,000 for each grantee.

The University of Arizona is ineligible for this cycle due to updated limiting language: "The Foundation will consider only one proposal from an organization in any calendar year". The next cycle the University of Arizona is eligible for will occur with a June 15, 2026 concept application deadline.

Institutions are expected to run their own internal competitions and may only forward one nomination to the Foundation

Overview 
One of the core aims of Mellon's Higher Learning Program is to elevate the knowledge that informs fuller narratives of the human experience. Supporting the expansion and evolution of humanities disciplines through investing in the range and productivity of exceptional faculty is crucial to this objective. New Directions Fellows undertake systematic training outside their fields of specialization to acquire the competencies required for advanced cross-disciplinary research – research that goes beyond traditional boundaries and offers innovative and effective ways of bringing humanistic knowledge to bear on social challenges. 

With this objective in view, Higher Learning invites nominations of highly qualified scholars in the humanities or humanistic social sciences who received their doctorates between 2013 and 2019. This by-invitation competition will provide grants of up to $300,000 over three years. We anticipate allocating up to $4 million for this call; the final number of proposals selected will depend on the number and substance of the submissions. 

Eligibility
Eligible candidates will be faculty members who were awarded a doctorate in the humanities or humanistic social sciences within the last six to twelve years (2013-2019) and whose research interests call for formal training in a discipline other than the one in which they are an expert. Terminal degree holders, such as MFAs, are ineligible. 

The proposed field of study must be a foray into a new area of intellectual inquiry and not just an enhancement to go further into the primary field. Language study, technical writing, or skill acquisition such as GIP mapping do not, by themselves, constitute as a new direction.
