Opportunity Summary:

The FY15 Announcement of Anticipated Availability of Funds for Family Planning Services Grants for Region 9 (California, East Los Angeles) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity under the Title X Family Planning Services program (CFDA 93.217). It was issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and is intended to fund one organization to establish and operate a voluntary family planning services project serving the East Los Angeles area. The core purpose is to make high-quality family planning services available to anyone who wants them, while explicitly giving service priority to individuals from low-income families. The opportunity emphasizes broad access, voluntariness, and delivery of services consistent with Title X statutory requirements and federal program expectations.

The grant supports a comprehensive package of family planning services. This includes clinical family planning care along with related preventive health services, as well as information, education, and counseling connected to family planning. It also covers referral services when appropriate, recognizing that some client needs may require connections to other healthcare or supportive service providers. Applicants are expected to design their project using the governing Title X law and applicable regulations, along with legislative mandates and the program direction in the then-current 2014 Title X Program Guidelines. The announcement also points applicants to Office of Population Affairs (OPA) Program Policy Notices and other priorities and key issues identified in the funding announcement and application materials, signaling that compliance and alignment with federal guidance is a central part of the application and eventual program operation.

Eligible applicants are public or private nonprofit entities located in a U.S. state or territory (broadly defined to include the District of Columbia and multiple U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice). The announcement reiterates that, even if a state applies for Title X funding, local and regional public or private nonprofit organizations may also apply directly to the Secretary for a grant. Faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are specifically identified as eligible as well. This is framed as an inclusive opportunity for a range of nonprofit providers that can credibly operate a Title X project and meet federal requirements.

A notable feature of the announcement is how it treats service delivery models that depend on other organizations (such as networks, subcontractors, or referral partners). If an applicant proposes to rely on other entities to provide services, funding decisions will consider whether the applicant demonstrates an inclusive approach in identifying and considering all capable entities that can provide the required services and that are eligible to receive federal funds. In practical terms, the government is signaling that applicants should not build closed networks without justification; instead, they should show that their approach is designed to reach and serve people across the anticipated service area effectively by engaging the best-suited eligible providers.

The funding structure is narrowly defined. The anticipated award amount is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $480,000, and the agency expects to make a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant (though applicants may still propose leveraging other resources as part of their program design if they choose). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health.

Key dates included in the listing show that the opportunity was posted on September 9, 2014, with an application closing date of December 31, 2014, and an archive date of January 30, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full grant announcement for specific submission requirements, including precise dates and times, and for the detailed application package instructions. For technical problems accessing the announcement, the contact provided is the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except on federal holidays.
