Opportunity Summary:
The Intermediary Organizations Serving Juvenile Offenders in High Poverty, High Crime Communities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 12 03) was a discretionary U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) program funded under the Workforce Investment Act. The Department made available a total of $20,000,000 to support four intermediary organizations that would run multi-site projects focused on juvenile offenders and in-school youth who are at risk of offending. The target population is youth ages 14 and older living in communities designated as high poverty and high crime, with the formal definition of those communities provided in the solicitation (Section I.B).
The funding design was straightforward: ETA anticipated making four awards of up to $5,000,000 each, with a 39-month period of performance. The program also placed clear expectations on per-participant costs. Over the life of the grant, ETA expected the cost per participant to fall in the $4,000 to $5,000 range, and it set a hard cap so that cost per participant could not exceed $5,000. Those costs were intended to be inclusive, meaning the cap and expected range were meant to cover administration and planning as well as the direct program-related expenses.
A defining feature of this opportunity was the intermediary model. Eligible applicants had to be nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status and, importantly, they needed the capacity to implement multi-site, multi-state projects. The intermediary awardees were not permitted to provide direct services to youth participants themselves. Instead, they were required to operate through subgrantees that would deliver the actual program services on the ground. In practice, that means applicants needed to be strong grantmakers and network managers, with the systems to competitively select, fund, monitor, and support subgrantee organizations across multiple locations while maintaining compliance and performance oversight.
There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for nonprofits that might not have access to significant non-federal cash or in-kind contributions. However, eligibility was restricted in one key way: organizations that had previously received a grant through certain earlier DOL competitions (SGA/DFA PY 09 05, SGA/DFA PY 10 09, and SGA/DFA PY 11 09) were not allowed to apply for this solicitation, indicating ETA was trying to broaden participation beyond prior awardees.
The application timeline was narrow. The opportunity was posted on February 28, 2013, and applications were due by April 15, 2013. The announcement specified that submissions had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The grant was later archived on May 15, 2013. For applicant support, ETA provided a grants management contact: Brinda Ruggles, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-693-3437, for help accessing the full announcement electronically.
Overall, this opportunity was designed for experienced national or multi-state nonprofits capable of acting as intermediaries: raising program quality and consistency across multiple high-need communities, financing and overseeing local subgrantees, and ensuring that juvenile offenders and at-risk in-school youth (14+) in high poverty, high crime areas could receive employment and training-related services through coordinated, multi-site implementation.
