Lilly Endowment

Notre Dame has received a $50.8 million Lilly Endowment grant to expand a faith-based AI ethics framework launched earlier this fall.

"The headline is how do we go, really, from good to great," said Taryn MacFarlane, vice president of regional initiatives at the South Bend – Elkhart Regional Partnership. "How do we accelerate and support this sector that’s got a strong connectivity with the region, that, really, there’s room for growth?"

The city of South Bend, St. Joseph County and the Michiana Council of Governments would create a new nonprofit to administer the land bank program. It aims to reduce the number of vacant properties and create new affordable housing opportunities in blighted neighborhoods.

The Lilly Endowment money will help build a new mixed-income neighborhood next to Four Winds Field, create a land bank, and fund low-interest loans to buy or rehabilitate blighted properties.
