Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "GRANTS NOTICE RED CROSS" (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 13 1 0120) is a Department of Defense (DoD) grant that provides congressionally directed assistance specifically in support of The American Red Cross. It is categorized as an earmark, meaning the funding is set aside by Congress for a designated recipient rather than awarded through an open competitive process. The legal authority cited for this award is tied to FY 2013 appropriations law, referencing Section 8079 of the Department of Defense Appropriation Act for FY 2013 under Public Law 113-6, with the eligibility language also pointing to Section 8077 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113-6). In practical terms, this notice functions as the formal grant announcement for a directed award to the Red Cross, rather than a solicitation inviting multiple organizations to apply.
The purpose of the funding is to support the American Red Cross and its mission as a volunteer-led humanitarian organization that delivers emergency assistance, disaster relief, and education within the United States. A key emphasis in the description is the Red Cross "Service to the Armed Forces" program, which provides targeted support to U.S. service members, veterans, and military families. While the notice does not list detailed program deliverables, the stated intent is aligned with services commonly associated with this Red Cross branch, including communication and emergency support to military families, assistance during deployments, and other forms of humanitarian and wellness support connected to military life and emergencies.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single award with an expected award count of 1 and an estimated total funding amount of $21,958,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $21,958,000, reinforcing that this is a fixed, congressionally specified amount intended for one recipient rather than a range of possible awards. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is listed as "Income Security and Social Services." The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 12.599, labeled as "Congressionally Directed Assistance." There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is not broadly open. The eligible applicants field is effectively limited, and the eligibility statement makes clear that the assistance is directed to The American Red Cross. This means organizations outside the intended recipient would generally not be considered eligible, consistent with the earmark nature of the opportunity.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on September 6, 2013, with a creation date of September 11, 2013. The original closing date was September 23, 2013, later updated to a current closing date of September 20, 2013. The archive date is October 23, 2013, indicating the announcement is no longer active and was tied to FY 2013 appropriations timing and execution.
For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Chrissandra Smith, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-545-3574, with a reference to a grantor duty email (the address itself is not included in the provided text).
