Funding News and Grant Tips
Resource: An Overview of HIV Resources
The Texas HIV Prevention Resource Inventory was jointly developed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) HIV/STD Program and the Texas HIV/STD Community Planning Group to help stakeholders identify what prevention resources are available in communities across the state.
Identification of existing resources is an important step in HIV prevention planning. Knowing what resources are and are not available gives stakeholders an opportunity to define and address the unique needs of their respective communities, particularly among individuals at highest risk for HIV infection as identified in the HIV Prevention Plan. View this plan at http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/hivstd/planning/cpg.shtm
The Inventory provides a snapshot of HIV prevention activities in each Health Service Delivery Area (HSDA) in Texas. The Inventory does not include HIV prevention activities funded by the DSHS HIV/STD Program. It does, however, include activities funded by the DSHS Mental Health/Substance Abuse Program, as well as activities funded by other non-DSHS funders at the local, state and federal levels.
The DSHS HIV/STD Program encourages entities interested in providing HIV prevention activities to utilize the information provided in the Inventory to ensure effective planning of HIV prevention activities in Texas communities. We encourage everyone interested in providing HIV prevention activities, regardless of funder, to utilize the information provided in the Inventory to ensure effective planning and to identify gaps in activities within Texas communities.
In our real-time world, information can change quickly. We have attempted to provide the most accurate and up to date information. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the information found in the inventory please e-mail Rosa Valdez at rosa.valdez@dshs.state.tx.us or call (512) 533-3064.

Lou Holtz's Three Rules of Life (And It Is Not About Football!)
"Everybody needs four things in life: Something to do, someone to love, someone to believe in and something to hope for."
We all wish we had said that, but it was Lou Holtz. It's no wonder that the Washington Speakers Bureau calls Lou one of the best speakers in the world.
And Lou still amazes us with his practical, down-to-earth, plain, and simple advice.
For example, we have all kinds of rules and laws. We've got federal laws, state laws, corporate laws, bylaws... you name it. Holtz simplifies things by following three simple rules.
Rule #1 - Do right. "Just do the right thing," Lou says. "We've all done dumb things and wish we hadn't done them, but you can't go through life with an albatross around your neck saying, 'I made a mistake.' Say you're sorry, make amends, and move on."
He added: "I think it's wrong to be bitter. We all have a reason to be bitter. We've all had injustices done to us by society, by a spouse, by a friend, but you can't go through life being bitter. We're always blaming someone else. Wherever we are it's because of the choices we make."
Rule #2 - Do everything to the best of your ability with the time allotted. Lou says: "Not everybody will be an All-American. Not everybody will be first team. Not everybody will be great. But everybody can do the best they can with the time allotted."
Rule #3 - Show people you care. I have seen this rule in action many times. Lou is constantly asking people, "How can I help you? How can I assist you?" And he means it. He has a deep-down burning desire to help people.
Lou Holtz says he can get by with only three rules because the people you meet have three basic questions.
The first question: Can I trust you?
"Without trust, there is no relationship," Lou said. "Without trust, you don't have a chance. People have to trust you. They have to trust your product. The only way you can ever get trust is if both sides do the right thing."
The second question: Are you committed to excellence?
Lou explained that "When you call on a customer, you send a message that you are committed to certain standards. How much do you know about your company and what opportunities your company offers to satisfy people's needs? The only way that can ever be answered is if you do everything to the best of your ability."
The third question: Do you care about me?
Holtz said: "Do you care about me and what happens if your product doesn't do what it's intended to do? Caring about people is not making their life easy. Caring about people is not being their friend. Caring about people is enabling them to be successful."
A few years ago I was asked to help raise money for a Lou Holtz statue at Notre Dame. On the pedestal, his players had chosen three words - Trust, Commitment, Love. Those words represent Lou's core values.
If people follow these three simple rules, their self-confidence grows. They don't worry when the phone rings. They have no doubt about what they are doing. They lift everyone up in their organization. These three rules help hold organizations together.

Grants for Innovative New Programs to Improve the Lives of Older Adults
SOURCE: Kendal Charitable Funds
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Letter of Intent: 6/15/12.
$ AVAILABLE: Grants will not normally exceed a maximum of $25,000. Several smaller requests may be granted rather than one or two larger ones. The grant period will normally be for one year.
ELIGIBILITY: Eligible applicants are nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. Individuals may apply through a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization serving as his or her fiscal agent.
PURPOSE: Kendal Charitable Funds is seeking proposals for promising innovations that will transform the experience of aging. Established in 1989, the organization raises and disburses funds in support of the charitable purposes of the Kendal Corporation and its affiliates, a system of not-for-profit communities, programs, and services for older adults.
The funds' Promising Innovations grant program seeks to support new projects designed to enhance the lives of older adults, whether through services, research, and/or developing new understandings and awareness of the potential for aging well. The program is looking for pilot projects that address one or more of these criteria. Priority will be given to opportunities that have the greatest potential for change and replication to impact the greatest number of individuals.
Potential project topics include but are not limited to 1) The Field of Aging — wellness enhancement, quality of life, multi-generational relationships, and home and community; and 2) Populations of Older Adults — frail, thriving, underserved, minority, and cognitively impaired. In addition, the foundation may consider other grants to individuals and organizations whose proposals compliment these topics.
Grants are available only for new programs; existing programs are not eligible for funding. Grants will not be made to support sectarian religious activities, endowment or debt reduction, capital requests for construction or equipment, loans, fellowships or out-of-area-travel, proprietary enterprises, political lobbying or legislative activities.
