Opportunity Summary:
The National Education and Resource Center on Women and Retirement Planning is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration on Aging (AoA), under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA PN 1015. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, guidance, or joint planning), rather than simply awarding funds and stepping back. The underlying purpose is to strengthen income security for older adults by improving access to practical financial education and retirement planning support, with a specific emphasis on women who are often underserved by mainstream financial education systems.
The central goal of the Center is to function as a one stop, user friendly gateway that connects traditionally hard to reach women to financial education and retirement planning tools. The target population is clearly defined: average and low income women, women of color, and women with limited English proficiency. The emphasis on these groups reflects common barriers that can block retirement readiness, such as lower lifetime earnings, interrupted work histories due to caregiving, lower access to employer sponsored retirement plans, language access challenges, and limited exposure to trustworthy, easy to understand financial information. The Center is intended to reduce these barriers by organizing tools and education in a way that is accessible, practical, and usable by people who may not have strong financial backgrounds or easy access to professional advising.
Funding for this opportunity is fixed: the estimated total funding is $245,763, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $245,763, indicating that the agency anticipated making a single award at a single funding level. The announcement lists one expected award. Applicants should also plan for cost sharing or matching, because the opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non federal resources (cash or allowable in kind support, depending on the specific rules in the full announcement) as part of the overall project budget.
Eligible applicants are broad and focused on domestic, public or private, nonprofit oriented entities that have the capacity to deliver public facing education and resource coordination. Eligibility includes state and local governments, Indian tribal governments, faith based organizations, community based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education, along with other domestic public or private nonprofit entities. In practical terms, this wide eligibility pool suggests AoA was seeking an organization with both subject matter competence (retirement planning and financial education) and the on the ground reach to engage women who are less likely to be reached through typical financial industry channels. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title IID, which aligns it with AoA efforts to support older adults through targeted discretionary projects.
Key dates in the posting indicate it was released in early 2010, posted March 4, 2010, with a closing date of May 3, 2010, and later archived June 2, 2010. While the solicitation itself is historical, its design highlights a model AoA valued: building a centralized resource hub that translates complex retirement concepts into plain language tools and pathways, especially for communities facing income, racial or ethnic, and language based inequities.
