Opportunity Summary:
The Financial Education grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NCUA6060) is a discretionary grant program offered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) under the Community Development activity category. Its purpose is to support financial education efforts led by eligible credit unions, specifically encouraging them to partner with community organizations, other financial institutions, and related groups to raise financial literacy among both credit union members and people in the surrounding community. In practical terms, the program is aimed at helping credit unions deliver or expand education that improves everyday money-management knowledge and skills, with an emphasis on community impact rather than internal operations alone.
Funding for this initiative is relatively modest but designed to be distributed across multiple recipients. The program lists an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, with an expected 20 awards. Individual awards can be as high as $15,000, and the stated award floor is $0, which signals that award sizes may vary depending on project scope and available funds. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the grant, although a strong proposal may still demonstrate partnerships or in-kind support to show feasibility and reach.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. This opportunity is for credit unions only, and specifically for credit unions that have received a low-income designation. That designation must come either directly from the NCUA or from a state supervisory authority with NCUA concurrence. The grant is not available to individuals, businesses, nonprofits, or other types of organizations, even if they are involved in financial education; outside entities are expected to participate as collaborators rather than as applicants. The program is tied to CFDA number 44.002, the Community Development Revolving Loan Fund Program for Credit Unions, which is the broader federal assistance listing associated with this type of credit union development support.
Key dates for the announcement show that it was posted on May 3, 2010, and applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, June 30, 2010. The award announcement date was set for August 31, 2010, and the opportunity archive date is December 31, 2010, indicating this was a time-limited funding round rather than an ongoing open solicitation.
For applicants or interested parties looking for more details or official materials, the opportunity points to an NCUA resource page at http://www.ncua.gov/Resources/CreditUnionDevelopment/Finance.aspx. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to the grant administrator, Adrienne Grierson, at 703-518-6612 or by email at oscuiapps@ncua.gov.
