9 purpose of HIV/AIDS-prevention education and for making grants
10 to public or private entities in Illinois for the purpose of
11 funding organizations that serve the highest at-risk
12 categories for contracting HIV or developing AIDS. Grants shall
13 be targeted to serve at-risk populations in proportion to the
14 distribution of recent reported Illinois HIV/AIDS cases among
15 risk groups as reported by the Illinois Department of Public
16 Health. The recipient organizations must be engaged in
17 HIV/AIDS-prevention education and HIV/AIDS healthcare
18 treatment. The Department must, before grants are awarded,
19 provide copies of all grant applications to the Quality of Life
20 Board, receive and review the Board's recommendations and
21 comments, and consult with the Board regarding the grants.

24 Organizations with an annual budget of $300,000 or less will
25 compete with like size organizations for 50% of the Quality of
26 Life annual fund. Organizations with an annual budget of

5 lottery may designate a percentage of proceeds for marketing
6 purpose. The grant funds may not be used for institutional,
7 organizational, or community-based overhead costs, indirect
8 costs, or levies.
9     Grants awarded from the Fund are intended to augment the
10 current and future State funding for the prevention and
11 treatment of HIV/AIDS and are not intended to replace that
12 funding.
13     Moneys received for the purposes of this Section,
14 including, without limitation, net revenue from the special

16 public or private entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any
17 interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be deposited into
18 the Fund.
19     For purposes of this subsection, "net revenue" means the
20 total amount for which tickets have been sold less the sum of
21 the amount paid out in prizes and the actual administrative
22 expenses of the Department solely related to the Quality of
23 Life game.
