Opportunity Summary:
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Training and Technical Assistance Program Capacity Building grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2008-ACF-OCS-ET-0041) was a discretionary grant program run by the Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose was to fund capacity-building collaborations across the Community Services Network, specifically to advance National Community Action Goal 5, which focuses on helping agencies increase their capacity to achieve results. In practical terms, the program was aimed at strengthening the ability of CSBG-related agencies and partners to plan, manage, and deliver effective services for low-income individuals, families, and communities by improving organizational performance and outcomes.
OCS expected to make up to 48 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,675,000. Individual awards were capped at $75,000 (award ceiling), and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The funding instrument was a grant, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive solely on that basis. The activity category was listed under Income Security and Social Services, consistent with CSBGs broader focus on reducing poverty and supporting community-based solutions.
Eligibility was structured around the CSBG Act, specifically Section 678A(c)(2). Eligible applicants included CSBG eligible entities (as defined in the CSBG framework), as well as statewide or local organizations or associations that could show a strong track record and expertise in training individuals and organizations on effective methods for addressing the needs of low-income families and communities. The announcement made clear that faith-based and community organizations were eligible to apply. The eligibility list also included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education). Foreign entities were explicitly not eligible to apply under this opportunity.
The opportunity was posted on May 29, 2008, and the application closing date was July 14, 2008. For applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov, submissions had to be completed no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The archive date was August 13, 2008, indicating the opportunity was no longer active after that time. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Yolanda J. Butler, Ph.D., with an email provided (OCS@lcgnet.com). The full announcement was linked through the ACF grants site at the time.
